After Eight/tea bag dispenser

Hello again

I thought I'd show you a box I copied from Crafter's Companion projects.

I used CC's double sided A3 card and made the tube of the box.

I then cut a lid and base and put them together.

At the base of the tube cut a thin strip and punch half a small circle as shown.  Then attach and stick the base to one of the lids.  The other lid becomes the top of the tube which can 

be removed.

The box is then ready to be filled with either tea bags or After Eight mints or something similar.

Thank you for looking.

Another Christmas make

Hello

In previous blogs I mentioned aprons I had made for Christmas for my son's in-law family.  I had already made an apron for my daughter-in-law for her birthday.  That's where I got the idea of making aprons for the rest of her family as they seemed to like hers very much.

Consequently I had to think of something else for her for Christmas.  Sharon from Whoopsiedaisy had just developed this make-up bag and so I thought this would be perfect for her.

I had bought the material from Create and Craft,it was one of six fat quarters.  This seemed perfect as my son and daughter-in-law got engaged at the Eiffel Tower.  The contrast material I used from leftovers from the vintage apron and the inside lining was also from one of the six fat quarters.

I also made the box from Crafters Companion A3 double sided card.

My daughter-in-law seemed delighted with the present and she recognised the significance of the Eiffel Tower.

I enjoyed making this bag and I think I shall be making a few more, thank you Sharon!

Thank you for looking
