Little Packages

Hmm... just these boxes for today. At this size (3.25" wide x 2.5" high), the design is sturdy enough that I was able to use just kraft paper. Plus, no glue or tape needed.

Box pattern was from a book, which means no free pattern for you.

Collage Blocks

First attempt at collage blocks. The blocks are made of chipboard instead of wood because the wood took too long for me, what with all the sawing and sanding and painting and re-sanding, etc. Going the chipboard route only took me about a day, including 2 coats of paint.

Not included in the picture are 2 finished triangular pieces and 3 cylindrical 'pillars' which I'm still iffy on.

Rcycling Frenzy

i got bit by the recycling bug and have been hoarding boxes and foil (aside from the plastic too, of course). here are the first of (hopefully) many "reconstituted" boxes. I made these from one big powdered milk box and one small powdered milk box for the lids. i used wrapping paper for the box and foil (from the powdered milk) to cover the lid.

All Boxed Up

they're cd boxes but of course you can use them for just about anything as well. fits about 13 cd's. covered with handmade paper.

These boxes are for sale (sorry, for Metro Manila only). Only 2 left in stock (red and orange). Can make more but it will take time. Boxes sell for P120 each.
