Hi everyone!
Welcome to my Blog & thank you for stopping by to check out today's tutorial. I am soooo excited about today's project & so proud of it to! I just love the way it turned out & i will be most definitely making more of these. This box is just so cute & the best thing is its super, super strong. I am sure you will love it if you make one or maybe two or three!
I had the idea in my head of those boxes that pop together with fasteners, i think they are made for CD storage but i am not 100% sure. Mine is just for show (the fasteners not the box) & i think it just looks so cool. I made mine to hold my embellishments but you can store whatever you like in yours. Another great thing is this box is sectioned so it has 3 compartments, great to store bits & bobs in it.
My box is made from old cereal boxes that i glued together so my pieces are extra thick. There is no need to go out & buy chipboard. As long as you have some cereal boxes or the backs off 12 x 12 paper pads, your good to go. Make sure you head over to my you tube channel to watch my step by step tutorial. I will put the video link below but i can not do that until the video is 'live'. As i keep saying, please subscribe to my channel and then you will get a notification when my video is published. It then saves you waiting for the video link to be put on here.

ReplyDeleteThank you Emma :-) xx
DeleteBless you for all your hard work and ingenuity. I am so grateful for crafters like you who graciously give of their talents and time to those of us who could not afford it any other way.
ReplyDeleteThank you!! It is my pleasure :-) xx
DeleteThis is a wonderful box. I love how you have done the corners. It does resemble the boxes that snap together on the corners. I actually have 2 of those that I'm using right now & have had them for a number of years & are still in terrific condition. I'll be making one of these for embellishments I think. TYFS
ReplyDeleteGreat box, Ann. They are certainly on my to do list.
