OHHHHH my yep 2 days in a row and l am blogging again hahahaha dont expect to much after this ;) well like promised this post is really just to show you my Trash to Treasure challenge item l put in and to show you how l made it, now to be honest l saw pics of this somewhere and cant find it so l cant take the credit for it :) But here is a few pointers on how l made it ......

 

 Starting with a magazine....

Fold page in half and half again make sure you make good lines. Cut each page into the 4 pieces.

 

Score each piece in half so you know where the middle is.

 

Fold each outer side of page into the middle.

 

Fold it again (can get hard on the fingers!)

 

Then you fold it in half one edge to the other so only one opening.

 

Roll it up in a ball and place some glue on the edge to make it stay.

 

A bit og glue l used PVA.

 

Keep folding paer and adding it to the first and when going round do it on the base of the last round so it is forming a dome (lid).

 

Keep going....

 

till you get the height you desire.

 

Start folding and curling up but keep it flat this time!

 

Do this till its the same size as the bottom of the lid you created.

 

Then you fold paper up but not as small as the last lot and you glue each bit on at the top of each piece and keep going till you get as high as you like.  L glued on the inside of each piece so it didn't get bigger and lid would fit right.

 

When your done your lid should fit on nicely.

 

Then l used some adhesive ribbon/washi tape and flowers to decorate :)

 

You get a great little box like this :)

Its fun easy and cheap!
