Hybrid humpday!

Hi all, Donna here for this week's hybrid humpday...

Would like to share this recent project I made using Jennifer Fox Designs'

IN MY LIFE (a collab with The Design Girl)

To start with, I chose this template by Kelleigh Ratzlaff available at The Digichick as well.

Follow the instructions on how to use the template.

I like to maximize the space whenever I print, so I squeeze in as many elements as possible...

 as you can see here, there were elements that I will not be using later on coz when I cut them out I didn't quite liked how it looked while I was assembling the box :D

To continue.... once you have cut them all up.. time to layer the flowers

Instead of using the biggest flower (the pink one), I just used green flower in it's center...

don't worry about cutting it perfectly, doesn't matter in my opinion..

as long as it resembles a flower afterwards :D

then build your flower by layering them up...accent with a button or brad...

Since the box I used doesn't have a handle...I made this instead....

3 pcs of 6 inches twine..notice the masking tape at one end?

I like to tape it temporarily so the twine stays in place while....

I am braiding...

 insert the braided twine as seen in the image..

Finish assembling your box...

Hope you liked it!

Thanks and happy crafting! :)
