*I've had lots of requests on how to make these boxes. I am working on a video tutorial on how to make them and will post it in the next day or two. Thanks!

We're getting a significant amount of snow today in Minnesota. Not the 2 feet that Washington D.C. got but enough to make it a pain to get around. We are so done with the cold and snow here. Unfortunately, the cold and snow are not done with us! We better have a great Spring to make up for all of this! Oh well. It might be a good day to make some more video tutorials. What do you think?
My youngest, Sam, had a birthday party to go to this weekend. He asked his friend what he wanted and he named a video game that was a wee bit out of our price range. We decided to give him money towards the game instead. I've never been a big fan of giving money for presents. It takes no thought or imagination. I know kids and adults like getting money for gifts but it's just not very memorable. That's why I always like to jazz up gift cards or money with interesting packaging. For his gift we made him an Origami box. It's made with one piece of 12 x 12 cardstock. There's a lot of cutting and scoring but it's really not that difficult. The results are pretty wow though. We filled the box with candy surrounding his money. Candy always makes things more interesting!
We made these Origami boxes in stamp club this month. Here's a few more samples:
You can make the box match the recipient!
Thanks for stopping by today! Have a great day!
