Basket from Recycled Cards
I presented already the postcard boxes, the baskets here are in principle the same, but it seems to me that they are easier to assemble.
I think that I should give it a try ;-))

Keepsake Boxes from Bottle Caps
I think that I will buy at least two bigger plastic bottles soon which I will cover with paper mache and from the caps I will make boxes.
Then I only have to think about what to do with the content ;-)))

Coffee Cup Packaging
Somebody had the great idea to use coffee cups as fancy packaging for little somethings.
Nice, isn’t it?
If you have more coffee cups than people to present with something simply try the coffee cup sphere lamp ;-)

Paper Favour Bags
I found a tutorial for very nice favour bags which are seemingly very easily to make from common printer paper.
Perhaps I will use them for my next birthday (because I won’t marry in the near future ;-)).

Modular Rectangular Box
I find those rectangular folded boxes absolutely great!
Unfortunately I discovered them too late, but if you haven’t begun yet (oops! ;-)), they are great for an Advent calendar, too ;-)
But take your time, I once made an Advent calendar from similar, but square boxes (instructions from a book) and it took foreeever to finish it.
I use it nearly every year though and it is still beautiful ;-)
And apart from that you can still use them for the Christmas gifts, I think that it would look wonderful, too :)

Metal Tin Advent Calendar
Ok, today again something with quasi boxes: the advent calendar from and with metal tins.
Looks also good, doesn’t it?
In principle you can make it with matchboxes in place of the metal tins, but then it would look quite ‘normal’.
On the following two days I will present more advent calendar ideas, then you may begin ;-))

Little Boxes for Precious Presents
I presented some boxes already, the one of today is folded from old greeting cards.
On the photo you can see it folded from a calendar or magazin sheet as a gift wrapping for my hyperbolic pin.
I find both (gift and box) still great! :)

Postcard Boxes
Once I’ve seen pictures of beautiful postcard boxes (that I don’t find back, unfortunately ;-() and I always wanted to make some.
Up until now I haven’t found the time but now that I even have templates for them, it should work somehow ;-))

Hexagonal Box
I always like to look for boxes and I like the hexagonal box very much – just as much as the Washi box because they have both this ‘extra box on the inside’.
Coming soon! ;-)
