Collage Curios Box
Here’s a cute box I taught last month – it all folds in on itself into a triangle. I can’t remember the measurements off the top of my head. For the closure, an extra piece of card stock was cut large enough to cover front and back of triangle and the back flap was adhered […]

A Cup of Latte?
A brand new toy! Who likes genuine strong coffee a la Starbucks or Costa style but without the messy coffee grains and cleaning up afterwards?
