Unique Crafters Challenge #3: Ribbons and Fibers

Welcome back to Unique Crafters Challenge sponsored by Scrapbooking Unique!  This month's challenge is to use ribbons and/or fibers somewhere in your paper crafted creation.  Challenge #3: Ribbons and Fibers,  begins on May 1 and ends at midnight (CST) on May 31.  You can link up three different projects for your chance to win a fantastic prize package!  A winner and two runners up will be announced on June 5.  Be sure to read all of the fine print on the Unique Crafters Challenge blog homepage.

Lately I have been into making paper boxes.  Nothing too out of the ordinary, but there is something fun about making your own gift box.  For this challenge, I made a trio of small gift boxes and decorated them with a variety of ribbons, twine, and other embellishments.  I plan to fill these with small gifts and/or goodies for Mother's Day! 

The size of the boxes from L to R are 2"x2", 2"x4", and 2"x3". 

Making a square or rectangular box is pretty easy.  All you need is a score board, a craft knife, and some adhesive.   Check out my very first video tutorial showing you how to make a square box HERE or click on the video below!
