Little Boxes ... Tiny Boxes

I love little boxes, and these origami boxes are so fun and easy to make.

I followed Jen Balcer's origami box tutorial posted as part of the Holiday Tutorial Blitz at SCS.

I started with two pieces of My Mind's Eye Tres Jolie two-sided cardstock.  I discovered after completing the box that there is no reason to use two-sided cardstock because only one side is visible when it is complete.

I used my Scor-it to make most of the folds, which keeps things sharp and reduces the likelihood of the cardstock splitting (especially when using patterns).

When the box was finished, I lined it with tissue paper and wrapped up a fun necklace I purchased on etsy from Analiese Designs.  It's part of my quest to give more hand-made gifts this year.

The charm is a bottle-cap sticker matted on two circles of cardstock.  I tied on some soft ribbon and used silver cord to attach the charm.  Another holiday gift ready to go.
