For my daughters wedding, we need a container for guests to put their cards in to the happy couple. I decided to alter a couple hat boxes and make her a special cake card holder instead of buying one of the paper ones that is available.
It was fairly easy to make and my daughter just loved it. Some of the guests actually thought it was one of her edible wedding cakes. Not only did my daughter use this for her cards but my niece and one of Jessica’s friends will also be using it at their weddings next year. Supplies needed: *2 round hat boxes. *exacto knife and metal ruler *1 yard material - I picked out white material with silver specks in it.
*pencil *scissors *Tacky glue (or fabric glue) and foam brush or a popsicle stick *package of pearl bead strands *hot glue gun *White satin ribbon *silk flowers (the ones I used was ones our florist had left over from doing Jessica’s flowers and she sold them to us really cheap). 1. 2. 3. 4. measure, mark and cut fabric to the height of each box. 5. 6. 7. Cute & Clever Cereal Box Crafts. Secret Box (Squares) Due to popular demand, I am doing a tutorial on the Magic Boxes I showed off in some previous posts.
To begin, choose your paper. You need six sheets of matching paper (preferably a heavier weight). Choose one for your outside, budgeting for a contrasting one for your lid, and 4 to create the inside boxes. Cut as follows (all measurement are in inches): Outside: 6 x 11 3/4ths Lid: 8.5 x 8.5 4 inner boxes: 8 x 8 The only challenging part of this project is creating the lid and inside compartments. 1. 2. fold the tips of your paper in so that they meet at the center.
Fold in all four sides, and then unfold. 3. This fold gives you the sides of your box. 4. I have also colored four triangles. 5. 6. Do the same thing on the other side. 7. Repeat this process on your 8 inch and 8.5 inch papers. Now for the outside. 1. 2. To put the boxes in, first adhere one to the very top right corner, making certain that you are flush with the corner of the outside paper. Here are a few that I’ve made. Brenna’s Secret Storage Books. It seems i am always in need of extra storage space. i have an abundance of art materials and supplies that just keeps growing. i am already storing boxes of paints, paintbrushes, paper, pens and scissors, and a multitude of glues behind a linen curtain beneath our built-in desk. it is a great storage place for the things i don’t necessarily use all of the time, but what about the things I use constantly, like my watercolors and rulers, exacto knives and bulldog clips? As much as i would like to, i can’t exactly leave them out on the dining room table within reach of my almost two-year old. the solution: sightly boxes to store my wares. since we have a lovely built-in bookcase, i thought it would be great to have a storage box disguised as a book, adding charm instead of just utility. so here it is, a bit of unexpected storage. secret storage books…not a secret anymore.

After tossing all the holiday wrapping and boxes and looking sadly at my overflowing recycle bin, I am not embarrassed to admit that I dumpster dove in my own trash. I had this idea to create a much more affordable version of Vitra’s Uten.Silo organizer using the boxes that had served their purpose and been so close to facing their fate in the recycling bin. Not so fast. My wall-mounted organizer sits above one of my worktables, keeping the tools I use most close at hand. The custom-sized and shaped boxes can be covered in any colored or patterned paper, or a mixture of the two.
You can also configure the boxes in any arrangement, large or small. Best of all, it is potentially costless and clears up some much-needed space in the recycle bin and on the desktop. Enjoy!

Bulletin Board From Cardboard & Paper. Most "make your own" bulletin board directions I've read called for purchasing wood or cork of some sort.

We made the entire bulletin board with things we had lying around the house. We made ours 8 1/2 x 11 but you could do a larger one.

Today I announce the winners of The Great Tissue Box Challenge 2010!!! But first, before any prizes are awarded, please take a moment to stroll through the tiny villages that each one of these participants has so carefully concocted.
Isn't it amazing how each little abode is so meticulously cut, pasted, painted and ornamented? Take a look at what Amy (with help from her husband) has crafted. Their little ornaments are heavenly! This village of 18 structures comes complete with several teensy gingerbread houses, a set of house-triplets spelling JOY, a townhouse, a barn, a Federal building, and the pièce de résistance, a church!

Since I lug it about hither and thither, high and low, and everywhere I go, the hexagon-quilt-in-progress-paraphernalia needed its own little carrying case.
I made one out of junk mail and an empty ice cream bucket. I cut the junk mail into hexies before mod podging them onto the bucket. It had to match the quilt, eh? Not a question. And speaking of which: ~ Hexagon quilt coming along famously. ~ A little over half-way there. ~ Approximately 1000 more hexies left. ~ Working working. ~ Bit by itty bit. ~ Every day for 68 days now. ~ Very pleased with progress. ~ Tunnel in sight but no light yet.
