| Collection of Kit in Box boxes |
Once again inspired by the Paper Pixie´s creativity, I have made yet another box, this time the box she calls the
Essential Kit in a Box on her blog,
thepaperpixie.com.
The box measures about 4 1/2" x 2 1/2" x 1" (11x6x2,5cm), and is made to hold an "essential" kit. The box is made with three compartments, in which you can put whatever fits. However, the Paper Pixie designed it to hold an anti-bacterial hand gel from the Bath and Body Works (a store I SOOO wish we had here in Norway!!), a lip-balm and a box of Altoids. Luckily I have some Bath and Body Works anti-bac´s lying around since my last few trips to the US, however some of them have a different design than the ones she made the box for, and they won't fit into the inserts that she gives the description on how to make. Therefore I had to tweak the compartments a bit on some of the boxes.
The Box, and the inserts for the compartments are all made from a piece of card stock measuring
8 1/2 " x 11". If you decide to adjust the compartments to fit something else, though, you are going to need more card stock. In addition to the base of the box and the compartments you are also going to need some decorative paper to make the box-topper from.
I have varied my decoration greatly, but essentially I have used die-cuts and layered them, embellished with some pearls/gems, and finished it off with a small bow.
