Retro sweet boxes

jamtart6

I think i will do my dad a mint one, he loves them for his car!

Any idea how much the average retro sweety box costs to make? I dont mind, just wondered!

Hi,
we had a thread running before Christmas on retro sweets you will find several pictures of completed boxes (think one was a mint box) and details of costs.

Hobbycraft have got some suitable 'needlecraft and thread' boxes reduced to £1.49 each.

In my local woolworths they were next too all the new range of wicker baskets so i would assume homeware or maybe the DIY section. I dont know if others stores are different?
