Handmade Gift Box & Jewellery

Hi everyone! I'm so glad it's half-term, yay! This term has gone so fast, as it's only been four weeks long!
The other day, I made a pair of earrings and a little gift box for my grandma's birthday, but I was in a bit of a rush to make it, so that I could take it to her, so I didn't really have time to take a picture of it, but I made another pair tonight and a gift box to give to my other grandma for her birthday in July.
I had lots of jewellery making equipment for Christmas, and earrings are so easy to make and I think they make a nice handmade gift for someone. Plus, you can personalise it and make it suit the person you're giving it to with different colours and beads.

Materials:
Cardstock: Crafters Companion
Papers: Basic Grey - Pyrus
Flowers: From My Stash
Leaf Punch: Woodware
Sentiment: Borrowed From My Mum
Distress Ink: Tim Holtz - Brushed Corduroy
Pearls: Bunny-Zoe's Crafts
Flower Centre: Assorted Gems



I am also entering the box into these challenges:
- Colour Create Challenge - White, Cream & Brown (Optional - One Extra Colour - Blue)
- Creative Card Crew - Anything Goes
- Papertake Weekly Challenge - Pale, Pretty Pastels
- Stamp Something - Something Sentimental

The box was really easy to make - it's just a really simple cut and fold process that I learnt at an arts and crafts workshop years ago and you can make it any size you want, which is good, depending on what size card or paper you have.













Thank you for looking and have a great weekend!
Bye for now!

Love, Georgia xx

Hi Georgia, Gorgeous earrings and how lovely to receive them in a pretty giftbox :-) I am sure your grandma is going to love them!

Not long now until the summer holidays. In September Chloe is going up to High School and Jamie to Junior School so it will be all change in our house.

Hope you enjoy the half-term holiday :-)
