So far I have not received my box
so
so
I will post when I do
I thought I would post
what I sent
BUT
It's odd
I didn't take many pictures
of the swap I sent out
I did take pix of covering the box
I made a pattern out of tissue
tested it out
This is a new product
I found
at Joann Fabrics
it is sticky
but doesn't glue
until you heat it w an iron
It is wonderful
you can reposition it
when ready apply heat
I folded over the seams
to cover raw edges
I really liked the way
it turned out
I added a rosette flower
and a quote abt friends on top
of course I didn't take a photo of it!
Inside I put tags
photo frames
a pincushion

Looks wonderful. I need to find that stuff because I used fabric also and let me tell you, it wasn't easy!
ReplyDeleteI hope you receive your box soon!!
You sure made a fabulous swap! Hope you get yours soon!
ReplyDeleteHey Jo sorry that you didn't get your swap box yet...but perhaps it's in the mail today because the REVEAL wasn't suppose to be until tomorrow the 30th. Great idea on how to cover your box and thanks for sharing...guess I've got to go get busy with my reveal post now...lol Fondly, Roberta
ReplyDeleteJo, what a cool product and what an amazing box you created! So pretty with its rosettes and the little poem.... Lots of goodies inside, too! I do hope your swap comes soon- it would be sad not to receive one. But maybe the mail is just slow!! The USPS takes 5 days to deliver a letter to New Mexico- and that's in the U.S.! I wonder how long it takes to send something to Mexico- the country! ha ha
ReplyDeleteI hope your box arrives soon...it was fun seeing what you sent. That product looks great and you covered yours with such pretty fabric.
ReplyDeleteYou did a wonderful job...so pretty. That stuff is neat. Hope I can find it around here. Love all the stuff you put in too! This was a fun swap.
ReplyDeleteOhhh everything you showed is just beautiful... I know that is a fabulous box and goodies.

Jo, fantastic job on your box, I must get that product, where did you find it?
ReplyDeleteI'm sure your box is in the mail..I got mine out a tad late due to family issues, but I hear through the grapvine that it arrived (USPS notification) so that's good. the best things are worth waiting for!

DEAR JO,
ReplyDeleteYOU DID A BEAUTIFUL JOB....THE MATERIAL IS BEAUTIFUL AND I SO APPRECIATE YOU SHARING HOW YOU MADE IT.
I THOUGHT THE BOXES WERE DUE ON THE 23RD SO I HAD MY HUSBAND OVERNIGHT IT....$32.00...I ALMOST FAINTED...IF HE HAD CALLED ME AND TOLD ME THE AMOUNT, I WOULD HAVE SENT AN APOLOGY LETTER. I JUST NEARLY FAINTED, SINCE WE ARE ON A VERY STRICT BUDGET.
I SURE HOPE YOUR BOX ARRIVES...SOME THINGS JUST GET HELD UP.
HAVE A VERY HAPPY FALL AND A LOVELY WEEKEND..
IT IS SOOO VERY NICE TO MEET YOU.
HUGS
SIMPLY DEBBIE
