Crafting for Christmas 2010, lets begin again......

The braclets are made from a thick soft cotton yarn , but I have some waxed cotton on order from a shop on e-bay.

The snowflake and star charms were also from a shop on e-bay - 35 stars for 99p and 10 snowflakes for £1.50. The wish charms also from e-bay - but from China - something daft like 50 for £3.50 plus free P & P.

There are so many Tibetan Silver Charmss on E-bay - it's just deciding what theme you want. I have just ordered some small wishbones (from China) .....

I tend to buy a lot from e-bay - as it saves so much time ..... its all there, its just finding what you want at the right price.

Hope this helps

Well, I've figured out how to get the boxes to "fold" (if that's the right word) around each other like in the video. Just need to work out how to have lids that open (to reveal the chocolates) as well now. Then I'll do a neat version (my little boxes are hilariously battered :rotfl: ) and write you up some instructions. That'll probably be tomorrow

Edit: Figured out the lids too! *does a little happy dance* I do love a good project! I might even do some boxes myself for my friends after this!

Excellent! How clever are you??!! Really impressed you worked it out so soon! :T:T

Here you go!

I apologise if the instructions seem a little patronising at times, I can be a bit too OTT when explaining things. It's a PDF file which I hope is okay. And hopefully, this link will work:

Let me know if there's any problems at all. It's not hard to make just takes a while to make the individual boxes up.
