Love Letter box- image heavy ...now with link to online tut...

[Babyangel]

I hope Ive put this in an appropriate place ....

A while back I made this "Love Letter" Box Its quite possibly my favorite thing Ive ever made, I moved around a lot and it got left in boxes in storage due to lack of room ... I found it looking for more crafting stuff!
The second I saw it I knew I had to share it with everyone here....
so without further adieu:








I adore this thing and plan on making more, I need to find someone whos good at faux finish painting so they can paint me some vintage envelopes.

Id love to know what everyone thinks!

This is fabulous! I've never known anyone who has made this - looks way better than mine!  I was trying to do the one from Carol Duvall show, but couldn't get it to look anywhere near as good as your  :\

      I rocked it, too!  Here is a link for instructions: http://www.hgtv.com/hgtv/cr_paper_crafts_boxes/article/0,,HGTV_3289_1399648,00.html

That is one of the cutest things I have ever seen!

Thanks guys!  Its really easy to make too. I could probably make a written tut if anyone is interested, then add pics when I make another with progression shots

wow!  That is so unique and pretty! If you ever chose to do a tut, i'd love to see it!  Have you thought of the tea method for making "antiqued" envelopes?

I never thought about that! The tea wouldn't make the paper fragile would it? I might just have to do some experimenting! Thanks Doll!

well good lord, i've never seen anything that amazingly awesome.

i've stared at it forever, and i still a) barely believe it's a box and b)dont know how in the world you did it...if it is.

i think im in love...

I think that's so unique! You did an awesome job and It would look very cool with old envies. I say go to second hand shops and pick up so old ones.
