Liberty boxes

You know sometimes the more you make the more fired up you get?  I think I'm going through a bit of that at the moment.  It's fun while it lasts!

Anyway, I was looking at the crazy patchwork scrap fabric I showed how to make yesterday and thought how lovely it might look as a box, so I covered a sturdy chocolate box with pink tissue paper, and glued a panel to the top.  I used the same glue (white glue, which dries clear) to 'varnish' the whole box.


Then, as I was having a good time and putting off doing some hoovering I made another little box.  This one uses one of my Liberty origami brooches to decorate the lid and is going to contain a Christmas present.


Then I was quite pleased and had to take lots of pretentious photographs!

  2. They're lovely and what a good idea. I have a couple of chocolate boxes that need covering and this is the perfect way to do it. Thanks for the inspiration.

  6. these are lovely, I love covering boxes but never want to part with them. I will definitely be trying this with the fabric on top. And as you know, I love Liberty to start with.
