A couple of weeks ago I took a class on box making. I have made a couple of them before, but every time I take a class, I learn a little something. My friend Betty was the teacher. She is a former school librarian, very precise and organized. The best thing she did was to cut the mat board for us. This saved a ton of time, and I know her cutting is superior to mine.
I used one of my ribbon embroidery practice pieces on the top of my box. I was going to make a red box, but the blue from my stash worked better than the red I had, so blue it is.
I'm in the process of making a couple of more utilitarian boxes without the embroidery.
