Matispa Gift Box Video

Uncategorized

14 Dec

Hello, Crafters.

This
morning I uploaded my video called Matispa Gift Box. 

I was asked by
Sharon, my friend who looks after my finger nails, if I could make gift
boxes for two of the Matis products she sells in her beauty salon. 

When I
made the box, I was thrilled to find it also fits a bottle of Stampin’ Up!
Spray Mist, too! 

What an added bonus!

The
Matis products that this box is for, are in glass bottles and are therefore, quite heavy!

When
I designed the box, I added a base inside that’s half an inch tall with a hole
punched in it for the bottle to stand in. 

I also included a neck
support, which has two purposes. 

Firstly, I designed it to hold the
bottle upright and to stop it moving around. 

Without the neck support, when I picked up the box with
the bottle inside, I found I clutched the box so tightly, it made the
box cave in, to a certain extent, under the pressure. 

Therefore, I designed the neck support to help  prevent this from
happening!

Sharon
wanted mauve which meant Elegant Eggplant was the ideal choice. 
 
She
also wanted something quite plain. 

I recommended that I did a tone on
tone pattern which she was happy to accept, but as long as it wasn’t anything flowery!

The
boxes had to match the quiet sophistication of the Matis products –
nothing garish or overly fancy. 

I added the silver ribbon which I think will be alright but I wouldn’t be too surprised if Sharon says she’d rather have Elegant Eggplant ribbon instead.  

As you will have guessed, you’re seeing the boxes before Sharon
has seen them!

I’m so pleased to say that hubby is making progress, albeit quite slow, and felt ready to go back to work today! 

Fortunately he listened to common sense i.e. me, and has stayed at home! I doubt if I’ll have the same success tomorrow.
 
I’m off to the hairdresser now, so I’ll be gone for the rest of the morning! 

Until tomorrow, happy crafting. 

JanB.
