really like this post and camera box- with hearts instead of butterflies-
how can i find this cheaper, or how would i make it?
they are £30 ish each from that site- look lovely- but can't afford them

thanks x

you can buy plain postboxes for around a fiver that can be decorated however you want. I would buy 2 decorate them both the same and then just widen the post hole for the camera box.

Looks like they have just printed any wording, matted it onto card in colours that match their theme then attached it to the boxes, so that would be easy to do yourself.

Then you culd just buy some heart embellishments and stick on diamantes from ebay or a craft shop and add them wherever you want. If you want the coloured are on top of the box then you could just cut coloured card to size then stick it on.

I would say it looks like a fun and fairly cheap project and definitely not something that is worth £30 to buy.

We made our own..

Used http://www.weddingcrafter.co.uk/product/42/121/1248/wedding-card-post-box---ivory.html

Then got some card, stuck double sided tape to it, then used a punch to cut out heard shapes and stuck them on. Then use thin white card and print out your titles, use double sided tape to mount it on coloured card and stick on. You could use a nice silver pen etc to do the dots or something similar. Then Ribbon to trim I can post you a pic of ours when I'm at home later or tomorrow.

We made our own too, well hubby did - wooden beachhut to go with our wedding theme. I would try making one and adding decorations. Heres the link to the pic. I was impressed with it when he had finished it !! http://s766.photobucket.com/albums/xx310/jempics88/?action=view&current=_MG_0363.jpg

Good luck, happy crafting. If you make it too you can have something unique and special. :T:T
