Well today’s project is a happy accident! I was working on a variation on my Twist & Close boxes, there’s still a 4th to come next week (squeee!) but while working on changing the top a little, this came about. I was aiming for something different, but this one is so much better than the one that was rattling about in my head!
I love the look of it when it’s closed, I love that it’s crazy easy to make, I love that the effect is stunning but simple!
Yes, you can tell that I love it!
It’s a good sized box when finished too, measuring 4-1/8″ (10.2cm) tall and 2″ (5cm) around. So yes, loads could be popped inside!
Oh and how gorgeous is this Festive Birthday paper on it? Definitely a lot of fun for a fun box!
Do take note when you’re scoring though, where I usually start on the long side on this project I start on the short side. Don’t get caught out!
Have a fantastic Wednesday everyone!

Another great idea. I’m going to try (using the word try strongly here!) to adapt to make a square version.

Oh, I love this box, very cute. CONGRATULATIONS 🙂 You deserve it!
I would like to see the twist and close at both ends to make it look like a Christmas cracker.
This is so darn cute! I made several of the twist and close boxes for Valentines goodies and they turned out so cute, everyone loved them. Here is a link to my blog post showing them. I even figured out a 5 sided one. Pop over and have a look. Thanks for another fabulous project. http://kristiekreates.blogspot.com/2017/02/valentine-treat-boxes.html
