I made these for Christmas gifts this year, it takes about 3-4 hours to make the box

This first one was the first one I had made, we did an activity in church one Saturday where we learned how to make these, I decided to just fill it with candy.




This one I decided to make after I saw the ribbon with deer on it, my mother lives where there are alot of elk so I thought it was perfect for her, so I got the gingham fabric to go with. I also found some pine cone picks that also looked perfect. To put in the box I made these simple cross stitch ornaments, the backing fabric is the same fabric as the box. I also put candy in the box.
I am still trying to figure out what else to give them for Christmas, I don't have a whole lot of time this year for making gifts.

Sooooooooooo very very pretty!! I love them!!

Those boxes and gifts are great!!!!!!

Perfect presents, obviously made with a lot of love.

Gorgeous! What a great idea.

So beautiful. Great idea to back your ornaments with the same fabric. I know the recipients will be delighted with your thoughtful gift.
Cheers

WOW Who wouldn't be delighted to receive either of these??

Wow I'm really impressed. They look really professional and yet you can see lots of love has gone into them.

They are really lovely.

Beautiful...wish I had the patience and talent to do that sort of thing!

Oh wow I LOVE those boxes. Great job and I am sure they will be loved

Oh my! They are gorgeous and will make brilliant presents. How on earth do you make those? (If you don't mind me asking)

Those are really nice! I really like the gingham ribbon.

WOW You are so talented. The boxes are a work of art and I love the little ornaments you have made too.

it's too much to explain here, I am trying to talk the person who originally designed these into doing a tutorial because I think that there are many people who would like to make them.

Wow! They are fantastic! Well done.

What beautiful boxes !
