I love vintage. I love Christmas. I love the tinsel & twig line by the Girls’ Paperie that is making it’s debut at CHA right now. I can’t wait to have the whole line in my hands!
I sat and watched TV with Jason as I curled and formed this bow. REALLY easy- you just need a strong adhesive (Crafty Power Tape is great) and the ability to make a loop of paper, adhere, and flatten a bit.
To make the box (yes, I MADE it, didn’t just cover some other box) I drew a “T” of 3″ squares (three across, four up/down) that when folded made the box. If you do this – just be sure to leave some excess paper as “tabs” here and there. It’s easy I swear. For now – just look at that trim. those patterns. *sigh* I LOVE this stuff!!
When I finished I said “BAM!” to Jason and he replied that he is never surprised. He clarified that what he means is, I never surprise him with the ideas that take root in my creative brain. Truly nice words… and a project I’ll be doing a TON for this Christmas!!
more projects from the girls’ paperie CHA booth to be posted all week… I hope you enjoy!
what a fun box and the box is awesome
Wow! Love the box & bow. That looks like a great paperline.
So cute! I’m guessing that you made large loops and adhered them in the middle of the loop to the center of the box, so that it creates 2 loops – rather than each loop being separate and adherig the end to the middle of the box. Have I got it right?
No, each is separate – no double loops. That would work – I just did it the other way, and all the loops ‘meet’ in the center.
Looks awesome! Thanks for the idea. That paper is just gorgeous!
Love it!
I like the papers-but I fell in love with all the extra goodies-they are truly fantastic. I want them all!
WOW! This is a wonderful creation!
WOW! That is just so gorgeous
Beautiful stuff! Love your layouts at the site!
Super cute but I don’t think I’d ever have the patience for it! Love it! – pennyscraps
I am loving this paper line, cant wait for it to be available. I have got to try this bow. I like to make my own bows for Christmas so this would be different.
I love the bow which I think I could make. (I can see the box in my head, but mine would most likely be crooked.) Awesome paper line. Thank you for showing us how!!
