Revolving Desk Tidy

Time for another upcycling project! ♻️

This amazing desk tidy is easily made using some basic materials, but the best thing about it, is that it turns around! It gives you 360° access to all of your bits and bobs! No more cluttered workspaces!

3D Papercraft Watering Can

Following on from my previous post, where I introduced you to my hexagonal florist box, I decided to use the main design of the box and turn it into a watering can!

Isn't it beautiful!

Easy to assemble, this fabulous 3D watering can is perfect for displaying small paper flowers or for gifting sweet treats! Ideal for wedding favours, bridal showers, birthday parties and so much more, the template is available through my Etsy shop as both SVG and PDF.

Hexagonal Florist Box

Hello, and welcome to my first project of 2022!

I was asked a few months ago whether I had a template for a florist box. I had never made one before, and the only ones that I could find were square based ones. So, this set me thinking ... as I love working with hexagons, I decided to have a go at creating a hexagonal florist box! And here it is!

Doesn't it look amazing!

Easy to assemble, this fabulous little box is perfect for displaying paper flowers or for gifting small chocolate bouquets! Ideal for wedding favours, bridal showers, birthday parties and more! The template for this florist box is available now through my Etsy shop as both SVG and PDF.

Updated Pencil Box

Hello, and welcome to my final blog post of 2021!

Towards the end of this year I started making some of my pencil favour boxes for end of term gifts, and it occurred to me that instead of just using a patterned cardstock for the main piece, I could use a plain colour cardstock as a base and add some patterned paper panels on top to give it a smoother, cleaner look. The extra layer also provides added strength to the main part of the box.

Doesn't this one look amazing with its delicate Christmas paper panels? 

24oz Paper Teacup

Recently, I was asked if it was possible to create a large, 24oz teacup using my Teacup and Saucer favour box template. Not a problem, I replied, and to prove it, here's one that I made!

Ok, so I admit it doesn't look very interesting here, having been made entirely out of plain white cardstock, but it provided me with an enticing blank canvas to build upon ... 

And just look at it now!
