Making boxes

URGH.  Firefox or Typepad or both have eaten my nice little post. 
I hope it tasted good.
I hope they get indigestion.

Because I don't have time to re-write my whole clever and witty (I wish) monologue about box-making, I will simply point you to this video tutorial, which shows how to make a simple lidded box from scrap paper.  My sister-in-law made these from recycled Christmas cards one year to hold money gifts to her nieces and nephews.

In the near future I will be teaching you how to make a lidded box (like a small hat box) in nearly any shape you like.  Fun and easy and fairly quick.  And inexpensive because it can be made from recycled cereal boxes or posterboard.

I also have an origami box to show you, with a divider inside.  Also easy to make.

Stay tuned.

I used to make boxes like the ones on the video! I had forgotten all about them - thanks for the link. Looking forward to your divided box instructions too.

If only making these crafts were as easy as linking to them. Then I'd be the craft master (because I would write a post and link to a craft at the end of every post just so I could be a craft master).
