I was cutting up some packaging from a couple of blinds this afternoon and the crafter angel on my shoulder pointed out another use for it which saved it going in the bin.
- cut into sections, this makes several rectangular tubes
- make a cardboard base and lid, although for a gift that may not be necessary.
- Put a personalised printed card/label either on/in the box
- ta-da! Ready-made fairly sturdy packaging for crafts you are going to sell or give away.
I thought this might be particularly useful for smallish fabric crafts...it would make them less squishy. Sister Jean might have a harder time guessing what was in her birthday present if it was packaged this way. :o)
I would say though, be careful it is not sharp. Mine wasn't but I know some similar packaging I have cut up in the past has been.
Doxie ( who doesn't actually have a sister Jean, hey ho )
