Most boxes open from the top ,this heart shaped box swings open

Heart Shaped Box |
I made an accordion of tag pockets to hold lot of tiny love letters to put inside my swinging heart box

The box halves are held in place with shimmery ribbon threaded through brads on top of each half of the shaped box.

Heart Shaped Box |
On untying the ribbon,the box swings open to reveal a fan fold of tags in pockets as in the view from the top of this handmade valentine box

Heart Shaped Box |
You can take out the fan of pockets and take out each
tag /love letter.I threaded a pearl string through the fan fold to secure it to my hand made box

I was fascinated when I saw this box by the
Gentelman crafter and though he made his project in a ready made heart box ,I made mine from scratch using just card stock, glue and scissors in yet another recycling craft!

ReplyDeleteThank you for dropping by my blog and supporting my candy.
To be frank,You were one among the few bloggers who inspired me to start blogging. I was going through the web for some handmade flowers and landed up on ur tutorial on the foam flowers. just wanted to know where we get the foam. I wanted to add a comment and it showed that the name of the commenter would be anonymous as I had no blog of mine. I thought so much n then decided to start a blog. The first few comments i made as i started the Blog was on yours asking the details.
Would love to thank you on this occassion for the time you spend on the tutorials post.
Hugs
Catherine
Oh that is so sweet of you Catherine. I disabled anonymous comments when I started getting a lot of spam. About foam..if you look around even stationary and fancy stores may stock it. I buy mine from local shops though have seen in Itsy Bitsy too.
DeleteI forgot to mention.I finally got it in a small shop from my native.Thank you. The roses did not turn up as gorgeous as yours.But they were pretty.
DeleteHugs
Catherine

ReplyDeleteThank you so much Andrea..it just looks deadly complicated but is very very simple..I will post the tutorial in a couple of days and you will realize how easy it is!
DeleteDr. Sonia, if this isn't your usual style, it NEEDS to be. It is FANTASTIC! There are just so many wonderful details to it that I'm at a loss for words (which almost never happens). Suffice it to say, I LOVE LOVE LOVE this little box and the fan full of tiny love letters inside. What a thoughtful, caring and exquisite confection you have made, and I do so look forward to seeing your tutorial on this. Thank you so much for joining us at Tuesday Alchemy this week, and thank you for the perfectly delicious inspiration!
ReplyDeleteI saw the box and the fan at MIM und I love both of them!
