Cute Gift Baskets

Following on from my post last November I have just created some more mini gift baskets.

These differ slightly from my previous makes as the handles do not move. They are glued into place, and have an extra layer of cardstock over the top to give more strength.

Candy Wrapper Bag

Finally, I've managed to use up my stash of sweet papers and crisp packets, and I am so pleased with the end result!





So, what's next? Well, I'm just going to have to start collecting more wrappers ... Ah, the pleasures of upcycling!

More Teapot Treats!

Over the last few weeks I have been experimenting with my Teapot Treats PDF template.


After previously creating this miniature version, which I absolutely adore, I have just finished making a larger version, and I don't mind saying, I have fallen totally in love with it!


I have had lots of enquiries recently, asking me how much one of my teapot boxes will hold. Well, I designed the original size teapot to hold 10 round teabags, as shown on this video:


Now, using my template, almost any size seems possible!

Of course, when creating the different sizes, the weight of cardstock needs to be adjusted - heavier for larger teapot boxes, and lighter for the smaller ones.



This latest one was created using 260gsm cardstock, and as you can see, there is plenty of room inside for these (larger) teabag packets.
