boxes

[Leoni]

I'm looking to make a recipe box for a friend's shower party soon, but I can't find any suitable boxes. Any ideas?

Does it have to be acid free? If not, have you tried Internacionale? (previously Au Natural). W H Smiths may have some index card boxes that may do the trick!

there are some fab altered lunchboxes that people bought from Asda,have you looked in the gallery? welcome to UKS by the way

Basic Grey lunchboxes would work. They are toploading, and come with 6 dividers, cards and plastic pockets that fit the cards, so it would protect the recipes when they were being used. Provocraft ones are a similar shape I think, but don't come with bits in them.

Hi Leoni

I am sure some one will be able to point you in the right direction.

if you do not want to buy on of those boxes..look in woolworths and they have a tin with 2 chocolate oranges in..would make a fab altered recipe box.. I am making one just like it.

I keep looking at the boxes my washing tablets come in thinking 'that would alter nicely' but have nooo time to do anything at the moment

my friend ails has just done that very thing
she made a paper hinge..covered the box in blitzen.
hung a tasel on the front..sprayed the plastic silver and the rubbed gold paste onto it..
and a flowere to the top..it looks really lush..

Have you guys not seen my photo box from a Bold 2 in 1 tub?

Laura,
That Bold Box is fab! Well done. Very Original.
Amazing what us crafters can alter!
I must admit I now go through life and look at almost everything and wonder how I could alter/change it and what I could store in it or use it for!
