Puffy box


This is a cute little box I thought I'd try. The instructions are on splitcoast, by Brandy Whisman.

It's rather simple to make and uses a CD/DVD for the template. Very clever!

The only modification I made was adding patterned paper for the lining inside the box. It looks better and also hides the pencil marks (I couldn't find an eraser).

One trick I found when making this is to fold while using the CD lined up with the fold lines and be pinching the corners to let it take shape.

  1. Love this, you clever girl, and love the eastern blooms stamped on the outside. It sure is a set I must must get. Would be great for all sorts of treats.

  2. FABULOUS box Jacqui - I had saved this one to make "someday" after seeing the tutorial on SCS. Well done - it looks so great with Eastern Blooms. COOL!
