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? 

Pencil Favour Boxes

I am pleased to announce that I have a new favour box template in my Etsy shop! And here it is!

Easy to open, these super cute pencil boxes can be filled with sweets or small treats. Ideal for stationery addicts, teacher gifts, back to school gifts and so much more!

Paper Rose Tutorial

One of the features of my teapot boxes is the little rose finial that sits on top of the lid. Sometimes they can be a little tricky to create, and I admit that the instructions on my template may be a little sketchy. So, for this reason, I have created a video tutorial, which gives more detailed information on how to create the paper rose.
