FALLING ACORNS, MIGHTY OAKS

Gift Boxes

I have seen online where people are using their Cricuts to make giftboxes and I decided that I had to give it a go.  I’ve made three so far, each one with some sort of imperfection.  Here’s a couple of snapshots from my dark, poorly lit room (I had another bulb burn out).

The hot glue gun has been my friend-enemy in this.
Ignore my junky side table, but I wanted to a share a photo of the box before I added the third piece of paper. This shows how deep it is. It’s holding one handknit wash/dishrag.

I tried using regular glue, but I didn’t have much luck so I broke out the hot glue gun.  That has been rather fun, if I do say so myself.  I did almost burn off a fingertip though.

I’m thinking about making a few of these for Christmas gifts, since they hold a handknit washrag and that’s my go-to present.
