I've got a little something to share with you this afternoon. As I couldn't sleep this morning (and decided it was best I get off my computer before I made any more mistakes) I completed the cut.file and made this little pyramid box. Although I put holes at the top of the box for ribbon to be drawn through to hold it together, I decided at the last minute to glue 2 of the sides together to the front side and leave the back panel as a door in the back. I made the circular lid to help keep the side(s) held together. Here is the box with a tiny bottle of perfume, which is the pyramid's treasure when tucked inside the box:
This is the box open showing the treasured bottle of perfume inside:
I used a small glue dot to secure the bottle to the bottom of the box; closed it up, placed the circular lid back in place, and now it's ready for a gift. And, oh yes, of course I made the perfume too! It's from my toiletry collection.
You don't have to glue your sides together on your box, but use a heavier weight board for the circular lid to hold and secure all the sides toether. Or, draw a pretty thin ribbon through the top holes and make a pretty bow to secure the sides. It's totally up to you to make it yours! I hope you like it!
I'll be seeing you!
