Can you believe it, 2 posts in 1 day!? I have been trying to figure out how to store and transport my new, awesome blocks! I decided that today would be the day I would figure it out. Guess what? I did! This might not be ideal for some of you, but I think it is going to work out great for me. The bottom of the box is 4 x 6, the front comes up 3" and the back comes up 5 1/2". I added additional card stock and DSP to the sides and the flip top to add some strength. I also cut some cardboard backing to slide in the bottom to give it more strength. I keep all of the board backing from the packages of DSP, the Big Shot Dies, etc. I use it for projects that need a little extra something for strength. When I added the ribbon, I criss-crossed it so that the box would be less likely to topple when I picked it up. To keep the flap on the inside of the box where I want it to be, I added 2 little pieces of magnets. The DSP is the Sweet Pea pack from the new mini. I used Dusty Durango and So Saffron card stock, Pewter Jumbo Eyelets and the new Chocolate Chip Satin Ribbon. I think it turned out great and will definitely help to protect my wonderful, new blocks!
Love 'em both, but especially the box for your blocks! Looking forward to seeing your next project.
ReplyDeleteI'm desperate for a wedding stamp set. Anyone have For the Bride they want to sell? I sure hope the new catalog has another wedding stamp set!
ReplyDeleteOh - and I signed up a new recruit this week! Yeah! My first one.
Congrats, Lura....I am excited for you!

Lisa,
ReplyDeleteYou did an excellent job on this block storage box! I love it and the idea both. The paper choice really makes this project. It's a definite keeper!
