Do Me a Favour.

Take some empty  kitchen/toilet towel rolls
to make favour boxes.

Cut down to the size you need.

I have made mine approx. 6" long.

My roll was pretty much scrunched up each end

so I only managed to cut 1 from the large tube.
Fold the tube flat and use a bone folder to crease.
Using a round nesting die to fit I scoured round
a semi circle approx. 1" either end on both sides.
I used the scoring tool from by Hougie board.
Bend the ends in to make the closure.
I painted my box  using  a tester pot paint
in Tuscan Terracotta.
Same box but 3 very different looks.
All the Butterflies are by Dufex.

Box 1 using scraps of ribbon and lace

with a  lable by Studio Light from their Vintage line.

Stamped with a sentiment by Kanban  using

D.I. in Walnut Stain.

A distinctly  shabby chic look.

Box 2 using a Britannia Word die

and beige/brown twine for a more CAS look.

Suitable maybe for a Male.

Box 3 using Organza brown ribbon  and layering

the Kanban stamp up on beige and brown card.

Stamped using Distress Ink as above. 

Simple to make and easy to decorate.

I have made these to showcase
