"Handbag" Box + Free Template
Hi Everyone
Hope you're all having a fab weekend.
Today, I've finished the gift box I've been working on. I've called it a "Handbag" Box - can you guess why ?!!
I've kept it very simple, just adding some ribbon for the handle and a fancy brad on the front to represent a clasp. Of course, you could add an image or some flowers if you wanted to go to town a bit!!!
I used some Self Adhesive Velcro Fasteners to keep it closed.
It is perfect for a little gift, or to carry confetti at a wedding, or for party favours...the list is endless!!!
I've filled mine with some yummy chocolates!!!
Hubby did a fantastic job making the template for me. If you like it then please take the template and make one too, all I ask is that you credit Lazy Cats Cards with the design and link back to my blog. Don't forget to let me know if you use it, so that I can hop over and see your creations!!!
Left click to enlarge the image and then right click to save it to your computer. The template can then be printed onto the reverse of an A4 sheet of card. I usually print mine in draft mode to save ink!!!
It is quite straight forward to assemble, but if you would like instructions then please email me via the link in my sidebar.
I'm going to enter this into the challenge over at Just Us Girls Challenge, which this week is to use a template.
Thanks for stopping by today. Hope you like it.
Hugs
