Welcome to the July Waltzingmouse Blog Hop! The theme this month is Birthday Party. I made this cute three kings box for take home treats, but it could easily double as a box for a gift. Sometimes the best things come in small packages!!! I got the pattern off the Waltzingmouse web page - its a freebie. You'll find it at the WMS store under digital products/templates. It took a couple of trys cutting it out - but the time spent was well worth it and I know next time it will be easier!
One tip that helped me with this pattern is to score and fold on the lines before you do the zig zag cutouts. The pattern lines up better when assembled if each cut is exactly the same - which you will achieve if you cut them out while folded.
I decked it out with silver accents and did some serious sanding for a distressed look. I think this would be perfect for a party for a princess or even a queen who like likes a little bling. Thanks for stopping by!
