The Large Box Worked

Hi Crafters


Well the large box worked out well.
The box is 5.5" square and 7" high. It takes 5 pieces of A4 card for the basic box and 3 pieces for the decorating. I used mirror card to decorate the outside which costs an average of 50p a sheet and the main black card costs about 20p a sheet so the box without ribbon would be £3.50 to make.
Not too much if you want it to be a particular colour or theme, say to match the brides colour scheme or to fit the Christmas decor in the lounge.

Here is the finished item. I did not spend too much time on the finish, another time I would make an edging ribbon out of the decorative papers to edge the lid and the base., but this is a simple clean classy black and gold look with just a hint of colour in the red rose on the lid.
