It's impossible!

Hello and welcome!

Today I am sharing this rather clever box. It looks as if it's in two parts - a base and a lid - but in fact it's all in one.

It's a new style to me, but it seems to have been around for some time - and I just HAD to find out how to make one! I did some research, and found that, with a bit of careful measurement and burnishing of creases, it was quite straightforward to make

Here's the video-

I used the full width of a piece of 12 x 12 card, using a separate joining strip to pull it all together. Here's the folding/cutting diagram -

And here's what I used!

Large gift bag with embossed tag

Hello blog friends, and thank you for visiting today.

It's not easy to tell from the photo, but today's project is a BIG box. It's nearly 8 inches square and two inches deep, so it'll hold a good-sized gift. You could probably get at least 6 cupcakes in there, or a good-sized sponge cake. And it all folds flat, so you can store it out of the way in an envelope until you're ready for it.

It's quite a quick make, so I've also shown you how I did the embossing on the label. (I showed how to make the Gerbera last week)
