It's all gone black and white...

Hiya crafty friends,
Firstly, I have thank the lovely Shirley from the fabulous Shernocky Crafts for showing me this gorgeous little boxes and I just had to give them a go.

I also knew exactly what paper I want to use. One of the new Creativity Club downloads...the 'Black & White Prints' collection.


I love working with black and white, as I think it can look really striking and classy. And I have now fallen n love with these little boxes too. I'm also excited to have a go at an idea to do something very Christmassy with them too, which I will blog as soon as I've worked it out :)

When I first saw it, I thought they would be incredibly hard to do, but surprisingly they're not. I was really happy that I succeeded with my very first try..woo! hoo! (origami has never really been my strong point). And the pattern on the downloaded paper worked great.




I really enjoyed making these little boxes (even though my lid is not as good has Shirley's), and I think I will be definitely making them again. And I will keep you up-to-date with my little Christmas idea with them :)

  5. Glad you enjoyed making them - try them out in 12x12 - they make great gift boxes & you can go mad decorating the lid! The trick with the lid is to make a small box that fits the top, then stick a slightly larger piece of card stock on top!
