I’ve been trying out my idea for my buttons today.
It has involved more glueing. But having had success with the hair grips, I’m all glue-happy now (perhaps it’s just the fumes!)
This is my prototype. I decided to make just one first, to see how it works out.
But I couldn’t resist sharing a photo or two whilst waiting for the glue to dry…
The buttons I made fit perfectly on the lid of the little box and the box itself will be covered in vintage fabric.
The pin is just a temporary measure for the photo, I’m waiting for the glue to dry on the lid before proceeding.
The little wooden boxes are tiny – just big enough to take a one inch pendant (also still under construction… to be completed with a chain and flower charm.)
The idea is they’ll make cute little gifts for Christmas, that are pretty to open, and pretty to keep after the big day.
They’ve left me with that song on the brain – “little boxes all made out of ticky-tacky”.
Well, there is a bit of ticky-tacky under the surface.
But hopefully, once I’ve perfected my prototype, they won’t look tacky when they’re done. ♥
Perfect size for a little tooth to pop beside the bed for the tooth fairy 🙂
Great idea!
It is so cute! Wonderful idea! Lovely, sunny colours! Perfect gift!
Thank you! I hope people who see them on my stalls will agree!
I, too, was going to suggest they are the perfect size for the tooth fairy! Would make a lovely kind of advent calendar too, with a tiny gift (or choc button) for each day x
Possibly a bit expensive as an advent calendar, as you’d need 24 of them! Perhaps little cardboard boxes (or upcycled matchboxes?) would be a good alternative.
The question is, when I sell them, should I put the little boxes in little boxes?!
There can never be too many little boxes to open … box the boxes! x
Fab idea! Makes all the difference presenting things so beautifully 🙂
