| Comments: | This set of boxes includes two of my favorite designs for holiday gift boxes -- Tomoko Fuse's Clematis (at left in image) and her Knob with Petals (at right in image).
By using double-sided paper with bright colors and a glossy surface, it is possible to create something very fancy and festive.
This type of box is somewhat time-consuming to make because of the number of units required, but the extra effort is truly worthwhile because the final result is so attractive and sturdy.
I filled the beribboned box with homemade pizzelle cookies as a gift for my neighbor. |
