My first handmade box

[sandmistress.livejournal.com]

Hi, everybody! I've been part of the community for a while, but this is my first "look what I did!" post. My friend Melissa turns 22 on Monday, and I made her a box. All materials came from the Paper Source (oh, do I love that store!).









The kits the Paper Source sells are really easy to use - you have to buy adhesive, paper, and bookcloth separately. The bookcloth was the most expensive part, and I'd be even more careful gluing the paper next time - I used a really delicate paper, and it bubbled a little bit. But I'm pretty proud of my first attempt.
