Do you have a template for the box you used?
Would love to make a couple of these for some friends who work in an office
Thanks

I dont have a template i printed it on landscape onto a A4 card then scored it 3/4 width five times and then folded it over got two pencil boxes out of one sheet of A4 card..i will try and do a tutorial later as it is very simple to do.

Fab pencils irishgirl, they look really professional.

Didnt know whether to post this here or on the nappy cake thread. But seeing as its christmas themed, i thought it might be of idea for others.
Id left over red cupcake cases from making boy/girl sock cupcakes- so i decided to have a go at christmas themed ones, if all else fails i can donate them to charity shop before christmas.

Kim - brilliant cup cakes..............might have to 'borrow' that idea for next year.
Can anyone come up with a way of doing similar thing but more like mince pies ?

Kim_Possible

irishgirl- the holly are buttons.
Mary- you could use little foil cases and use cream coloured socks and possible brown socks for the filling [if u wanted to "show" the filling]. I have seen other embelishments on ebay, maybe theres something to suit a mice pie

EDIT: a quick search on google for sock mice pies produced this link
