Boxing Clever

Thanks so much for your kind words on my wobblyness these last few days.  I thought like several of you it might have been an inner ear infection but my trusty Doc tells me I have Vertigo ~ lovely!  I have pills now and I am mostly staying upright  ~ hooray:)

I wanted to share something I found on eBay last week.

The little wax melts and tea lights I have been making left me with a little dilemma, how do I package them?

They are quite delicate and I didn't want to just chuck em in a bag as they get all dunched and scuffed.  I did look into buying some little boxes but found them too expensive.

Last year I did a box making workshop at Pins and Needles Craft Show and thought I might give it a go again.  I was discussing this with a crafty lady at work who brought in a box making board with ready scored lines and I was really pleased with it, it worked a treat (thanks Judith).  I set out into the ether to find myself one at a reasonable price and I found this:

I know it looks a bit basic, but it's just perfect for what I need.  I love that it's handmade and can you see where it's hand stamped base and lid ~ rustic and sweet.

It arrived last Friday and I spent the whole evening making little perfectly sized boxes for my stuff.  Each box is bespoke and perfect, I love it!  The box maker came with a tutorial and some box templates and the best bit was that it was £4.99 with £2.70 delivery.  I bought this from eBay from Crafter Sally if you are looking for something similar.

 

 

 

  

 

I hasten to add I have no affiliation with this shop just like to share great finds with you!

P.S.I have a little giveaway in mind soon ~ watch this space :)
