These make nice storage boxes for cotton wool, hairbands, etc.
Approximate Time: Approximately 1 hour
Supplies:
- material
- sewing machine
- 1 metre of ribbon
- strong card
Instructions:
- Cut 5 squares of card, for this box I used 5" squares, but you can make them any size you wish. I tend to do a set of 3 boxes in graduating sizes.
- Cut material into a cross shape allowing 1/4" seam allowance.
- Cut ribbon into 8 equal lengths and tuck inside the 2 pieces of material, with the long end inside.
- Sew around all sides leaving one side open.
- Turn piece out ensuring corners are pushed out.
- Insert a piece of card into each square and then close gap with small stitches.
- Bring each side up and tie ribbons to make a box.
