Box(ing) Day

I was not feeling very good yesterday. I should have spent the day with my friend, but rang her to say I was staying home. I went back to bed for a couple of hours, and felt a bit better when I got up again. But I decided I needed to do something that was just fun, and I remembered making origami boxes with the kids at school when I was teaching. And so I made boxes. The first ones were exactly the right size for the twinchies I made last week. I used lavender cardstock for the 'bottoms', and some patterned paper in a lighter shade for the lids. Then I mounted the twinchies on them, and they were finished. I think they will make nice little present boxes, so will put them away and hope that I find them when I need them.... If you want to know how to make these boxes, I found some instructions here: Origami folded paper boxes 

And these 2 boxes have been made of two coordinating papers from Daisy Ds. I have had them in my stash for ages, and am happy to have found a project to use them.  The paper for the lids has been cut a quarter of an inch larger than for the 'bottoms', so that the lids fit easily. The boxes are fun and easy to make!

I made some more more boxes for notes, but I will show them another time.

Have a good day you all, take care, and thanks for looking!
