Garage Gears Pillow Box

Hello, and welcome!
So we're still getting back to normal here at Tuppence Towers. Decluttering phase 1 is more or less complete, with some items in storage still to be donated or sold. Next step will be to re-arrange what's left!
I'm still getting used to my new, streamlined craft supply storage which is my way of saying that I can't find ANYTHING.

Time and space for crafting is still limited. I needed something quick for today's project, so I used some leftover bits from an earlier project and one of the ready-to-go Polka Dot pillow boxes -

Hope you liked it!

Keep crafting,

Pillow Box Gift Bag

Hello, and welcome!

I thought I was finished with Christmas projects – but I was wrong!

Today I’ve made a gift bag using a pillow box as a base, inspired by a video on Helen Griffin’s channel. I believe Helen used a punch board to make her project – but as I had a package of pillow boxes to hand, I decided to use those. (And after I'd made my tutorial, I saw that Angie Kennedy Judah got there before me too!)

Here's what I did.

This was also a way of using up the scraps and odds and ends that I’ve accumulated through the season. I sometimes have a session of die-cutting or punching where I just cut a lot of elements and then put them into a bag for later use. I do the same thing if I’m stamping and colouring images (like the snowman) so that I’ve got a stock of items ready to go. They all came in very handy for this little gift bag!

If you don’t have a bag of bits handy, you could easily glue a strip of decorative paper around the middle of the box/bag. Or tie a ribbon round it.
