Wedding Cardbox done! (pics)

[ladyciel]

Sometimes the smallest things give you the biggest satisfaction in knowing they''re done. The cardbox I made this weekend definitely qualifies. I hunted and hunted to find a box of the right size with a lid, and I finally got lucky in the home department of Marshall''s. A square hat box (from a nesting set, but priced individually) that I got at an extra discount due to a ripped corner on the lid. A little tape on the corner, a slot cut with a craft knife, some wrapping paper from Papyrus, leftover ribbon from my invitations, and $1.99 worth of flowers from Michael''s, and tada!! I''m proud.

That''s beautiful! Can you buy them already done? I''m SOOOOOO not crafty.

Thanks, mimzy, meresal, sarah and marchswallow! MSB, I can''t seem to find the site now, but I was inspired by photos from a site that sells something very similar for $50 or so. I''m sure you could find something more reasonable if you went hunting.
