Baby Gift Box

To match the page I scrapped last time I made a gift box and personalised a pair of baby socks.


Just some card and extra sticky double sided tape makes the basics of the box base.  I then covered with a length of washing line ribbon.



The lid was made out of a sheet of acetate.  Partly so you could see a peek of the goodies in the box, partly so you could see the washing line ribbon around the base, and partly because I wanted to play with acetate!  Inside was decorated with a square of card, a cut off of 'cute as a button ribbon', and an embellished button.


The top of the lid was decorated with some ribbon weaving - leaving room at the edges for a tantalising peek of the goodies inside...



...which were a pair of socks embellished with a button and a ribbon tie to match the inner lid. decoration.

I had a lot of fun making this up and think I'd be chuffed if I'd received this as a gift.

'Til next time...

Hello, Happy Whats On Your Workdesk Wednesday !  As promised a picture of last Wednesdays 'work' finished off.  Post and more photos here . This week I'm showing off the beaded ATC I made... Tricky to photograph so your getting one with flash and one without... It was all parcelled up and sent off to Queen of Desks Julia .  Here is a basic of how it was made...

Thread your needle with the weft thread.  (The cross ways thread that weaves back and forth.)  Pick up the beads... Pass the needlefull of beads underneath the warp (tight length ways) threads on the loom... ...and push each bead u...

Hoppity!

Hoppity hoppity!!  :) Hopeful you have arrived here from Fleur 's blog as part of the Crafty Ribbons Easter Hop .  If not and you've found yourself here wondering what on earth I'm on about (and let’s face it J you wouldn’t be the first!!) check out the Inspirations site for all the juicy details! My project for the hop is         Easter bunting!  I cut three templates first - a triangle pennant, a bird and a heart.        Then I cut the pennant shapes from fibre ribbon, threaded them on to some 3mm satin and evenly spaced them.  I embellished each flag with some beads...       I backed the birds and heart on some thin white card and glued them to the centre of the pennants.   My supplies list: yellow fibre , pink fibre , lime fibre , 3mm satin , button box , white card, glue, beads, needle and thread.   ...
