I made this little box to hold some Yankee Candle tealights, as a gift for a friend.
I have always struggled with making boxes and getting the right size so that the lid fits just right, until I came across this on Catherine Pooler's blog, it is such a simple technique without have to mess around with lots of working out how to make the lid bigger.
I will be making boxes galore now - here is the box that I made to house the little album made for my parent's wedding anniversary.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful little boxes :)
ReplyDeleteIt's a good technique. I have to admit I prefer mine though as it avoids the need to cut card with an odd 1/16th added to the measurement. My trimmer is only marked in 1/8ths so it would be tricky to get an accurate cut.
ReplyDeleteOh I just love a beautiful wrapped gift! These little boxes are so cute.
