I didn't think I'd be able to get this posted so early today, but we had a bit of excitement in our house late last night. When I went to let my dogs out for the last potty break of the night, a bird flew right in the front door! I have lots of baskets hanging from the beams on my family room ceiling, and he was apparently hiding in one of them while I searched high and low throughout the house for him. I finally gave up and went to bed, only to hear a huge "crash" when he knocked a brass "basket" from the ceiling and it hit the hardwood floor. My son and I spent about 20 minutes trying to herd him toward one of 2 open doors while the temperature in the house dropped to about 30 degrees, but we finally got him out around 1:30 am, and I went to bed. Unfortunately, the adrenaline was pumping and I was wide awake, soooo....
I finished this little box, wrote a post for it and went to bed. Note to self: when you write at 2AM, you make a LOT of mistakes, including not adding any links to the files! I won't do that again. I had to totally rewrite this one this morning.
Anyway, I'm thrilled with the outcome, and I hope you will be, too. It was a difficult box to get a good photo of, but I think you can get the general idea from this one, though it looks a bit distorted. It's much prettier in person.
Note: The lid of this box fits tightly, but it does fit. When you're putting it together, go a little tight on the bottom of the box, and not so tight on the lid. You'll also notice that there are tabs on the 6 top pieces. Those of you who have made my boxes before know that I hate raw edges on them, so these tabs are to reinforce the top edge. Put the 6 sides together first, then fold the tabs in to the inside and burnish well to make sure the adhesive sticks.
As always, I love comments, so please leave me one below if you download the file. And if you haven't noticed yet, I've added a Gallery where I'm posting all of my project photos in one place, along with links to the original posts - and files. If you send me a photo of a project you made with one of my files, you just might find it featured in my Gallery!
Enjoy the new box, and have a SAFE and HAPPY NEW YEAR!
