I'd normally be blogging about the things I made friends and family for Christmas about now, however due to Covid19 I haven't seen many of these people to share gifts with and so I can't really blog about them yet, not wanting to spoil the surprise in case they look here.
But while I can't share the content, I can share one of the little gift boxes I made.
One of my Christmas/Birthday gifts was a subscription to Uppercase magazine. It's sent out in a cardboard envelope (it does travel all the way from Canada) and they suggest you keep the envelope to do creative things with, or just simply to re-use.
So using an old gift box that I had been given as a template I cut out and scored the shape from the envelope which gave me a beautiful gift box. The card is thin enough to flex, without being too thin to hold its shape. And it's good enough that the recipient could re-use it themselves if they wanted.
It's a lovely little box and I think I'll be making more.
