I have such a cute little project today - well, I suppose it is really two projects as it comes in two sizes. They are really straightforward to make and suitable for any occasion - think of birthdays and Christmas.

I used Velcro dots to close the boxes. I don’t like using magnets if there is a possibility of them being given to children as a safety precaution; two for the large and one for the smaller box.
Follow my YouTube tutorial for the method of assembley.to secure the handle on the larger box, I used brads, but this isn’t necessary for the smaller box as it is unlikely to carry as much weight. Here I added the matching enamel dots that are also part of the collection.
Remember that
when Design paper is adhered to the top of the box, that layer will become thicker and
stiffer and harder to shape, so make sure that you have got a good roll on this section, either by
rolling it over the edge of a table or by gently breaking the fibres with a
bone folder.
These boxes look so sweet with the cute puffy sticker decorations. These have the advantage of being very pliable and able to follow the shape of the box. I think that the addition of one of the metal charms to the handle adds a lovely finishing touch resembling a designer handbag. I’ve tied the charms on with ribbon but there are so many possibilities – twine, cord, or chain.
As always, I love to see your creations with both this paper and the style of the box, so please tag me when posting your makes.
