How to Make the Perfect Gift Box with Katie Skilton

Hello…

As we hit the final few months of the year it is time for Sizzix to release the final chapter for 2016 - Chapter 4.
This means I will be bringing you some exciting new releases on my Hochanda shows on the 18th October.

One of my favorites from this Chapter is the Sizzix Thinlits Die Set Every Occasion. This creates a beautiful gift box and I am going to show you how easy it is to create.

Step 1
Die cut 2 of the gift box bases from patterned paper.

Step 2
Die cut the bow elements.

Step 3
Using a strong double sided tape adhere the box together.

Step 4
Using hot glue adhere the bow together.

Step 5
Trim a strip of coordinating paper and wrap around the centre of the box.

Step 6
Wrap twine around the centre of the trip of paper and adhere the bow to the box.

This is a perfect die set for so many occasions and of course you can use the bow on my other projects too.

I hope you like the project. Don’t forget to join me on 18th October to see all the other new releases from Chapter 4.

Katie

Meet the Presenter - Matt MacNamara

1. How did you first get introduced to crafts? I’ve always loved craft and had such great respect for anyone who makes and creates crafty items. At craft fairs it is always me that holds up everyone else in the group while I chat to the people on the stalls about what they have made. My wife Karen, or Mrs M, is very crafty too. She’s into the classic decoupage, upcycling old boxes and furniture. She also makes her own jewellery and I sometimes help her run the stalls at craft fairs.. 2. What have been your highlights so far on Hochanda? We have a very talented pool of guests, so there is always something so creative going on in the studio, so honestly, every day is highlight. I’ve also had the good fortune to have tried several crafts for the first time ever. It’s pleasantly surprising to discover that to be a good crafter you don’t necessarily have to be artistic, you just need to be imaginative and creative. We all have our own...

Barbara Gray - Giveaway

Who caught the wonderful demonstrations from Barbara Gray on Sunday, and again yesterday? Barbara inspired us all, as ever, and we had some busy shows. Barbara even jumped onto the phones to help with a customer query! That's the beauty of having our customer services and order line in house - and brilliant guests who are happy to have a natter to our callers. Barbara has also, generously, donated one of the pieces from the show, as a giveaway on todays blog post. Isn't it beautiful.
