One of her projects was creating a card box. I realize that this seems like a silly thing to focus on, but I think that it is just another way to tie in the colors and cuteness that I want at our wedding.
Here is my version with instructions.
I started by tracing the small box on the large box. (straight lines are important) I then mesasured 3 inches from the traced line to the center and cut a circle in the large box.
I then cut the bottom out of the small box (with a box cutter).
You will need the box cutter to make the opening in the top, for the cards of course!
I traced the width and length of the slit on a piece of paper and then traced it onto the box.
I used green ribbon to make the lines effects. Thanks to the help of a great neighbor from another hood, we were able to get the ribbons as even as possible. Hot Glue Gun!
After patience and glue all over my hands, I was able to complete the final product. It is not perfect, but had I tried to do this alone, it would have been a mess. Thanks to my helper!
Total Cost:
Boxes- $5.99
Ribbon- $2.00
Glue Stick, Scissors, Box Cutter - $Free (had at home)
TOTAL $7.99
There might be a few added extras to this, but for now, I think this worked out
