This is the first of our two projects from last thursday's class. This simple box was made from two squares of paper from the Rose Red DSP series. (the bottom was 14cm and top 15cm). You
can make the box any size you want just ensure the top is 1cm larger than the bottom.
To create the box was just a series of folds after finding the centre of the square. No cuts involved at all. To finish off the top of the box we made a small vellum rose with a rhinestone brad as the centre point. These roses are so simple to make if a little messy. We had a little bit of blue peter, as I had already coloured the vellum before class as it becomes a little messy and takes time to dry. I inked the plain vellum with the Rose Red inkpad for this colour combo and then allowed it to dry. You then cut out approx 8 scallop circles and pierce a brad through the centre and then scrunch the scallops up until you get the result you want.
A perfect handmade box to perhaps put small gifts in like jewellery.
Join me tomorrow for our second project which was a card using Vintage Vogue from the new mini catalogue.
