Year long project - nice idea to give to cooks for Christmas 2010??

dizzytina

Well i have made th recipe box and just need to decorate it now.

NEGirl you really are amazing and your tutorial was so easy to follow so thankyou. Can i ask what have you done with your lid that comes down at the front? Do you tuck it inside the box? i didn't know whether to try attaching a button and using some ribbon to tie it round the button to stay in place if that makes sense?

NEgirl

Thanks DT Ive just tucked mine inside but i did dither with attaching a button or double sided sticky velcro to the front Underneath the papers you could wrap ribbon around the box from top to bottom leaving enough to fasten it closed once the lid is down if that makes sense

Well i decided to sew on a silver button in the end and then thought about the ribbon option and wished i had done that instead but nevermind!!.

I shall try and upload piccies soon but i need to do the month dividers first

dizzytina

ok i am useless at uploading piccies but hope these links work. This is the box i made earlier

Mrsow it really is easy to follow NEGirls's instructions and it doesn't take long at all even for beginners. It has to be simple for me to be able to do it lol:rotfl:
