SpringWatch Giveaway for today – Love Sparkles Stamp Set – details on how to enter at the bottom
Oooooo today I have a box for my chandler friends, but also for those of you who are a bit like me with the ‘sharing’ of their goodies. I work to the ‘one for me, one for you, one for me. One for me, one for you, one for me’ method…. OK, that’s not strictly true, but I’m a huge fan of Yankee Candles and when I picked up a couple of boxes of the tea lights in the post Christmas sales, I knew I wanted to show you how you could gift them and keep them. But as I said before, my chandler friends who make tea lights were in the front of my mind also. And I know that they use tea light cups that are the same size as the Yankee ones. So it’s a win win for everyone!
The box is a bit more fiddly than I usually make, but the peephole cut out is so adorable! And again, with those friends of mine that make candles, I know that they struggle at events where people insist on opening boxes to smell the contents, despite a Sample-To-Sniff being visible. Hopefully this will neutralise that too!
I hope the video is useful and that I hovered and paused enough for you to see what I was doing.
The measurements below will help you if you press play and pause as you go!

This is perfect to share nice candles. I am a long time admirer of your boxes! I have followed your really practical instructions to success many times, thank you Sam.

Beautiful, you have a real knack for making great boxes!
