More teapot delights!

Here are some more of the Teapot Treats gift boxes I have made recently. They are all individual, all unique and all totally crafted by hand (no cutting machines or punches used here!)

Mmm ... lemon biscuits!

With this next one, I experimented with a new flower design for the lid. I feel it's far more realistic, and in keeping with the patterned cardstock I used.

Autumn's arrival

It's my favourite time of year; venturing out for walks in the woodland, admiring the changing colours of the leaves ... so I decided to create an Autumn-inspired teapot gift box. Using papers from Papercraft Inspirations magazine (issue 91) I love the way it all fits together with a woodland theme. The leafy flower on top of the lid incorporates some curled paper twigs, and fallen leaves line the grassy base.

All it needs now is to be filled with deliciously tempting ginger biscuits.

Teapot Box

I have always had a passion for teapots, so it was inevitable that one day I would combine my interests and create a box in the shape of a teapot.

Teapots come in all different shapes and sizes, but I wanted to create a classic design, an instantly recognisable form for my box. I had a hexagonal shape in mind, and so I set to work, sketching how my teapot should look before designing a simple template. After a bit of trial and error, it wasn't long before I was holding my very own teapot box.

I love the simplicity of this design, and the endless possibilities for decoration and embellishment.

With a removable lid, it can be filled to the brim with delicious treats - chocolates, candies, biscuits, teabags ... An ideal gift for any tea-lover!
