Box making

At the 1pm Wednesday get-together last week, Renee had us making boxes - measuring, cutting -
using gummed tape -
I didn't have cutting mat, scalpel, etc etc so said I'd make one when I got home. Which I did, and not even the lack of gummed tape stopped me - I used strips of thin cotton fabric instead, and tried to put on a hinged lid -
Yes it looks just a little clumsy and clunky!
At the Thames Valley CQ group meeting on Saturday, we made silk paper ... and I wondered if it could make a box ...
It's awfully flimsy, and the divider will need some stitching to stay in place (and careful handling) - the cover needs a bit of help too!

These boxes are meant to hold the pill-nests I've been making. They need a little (just a little!) more work...
