Alter a box

Time is going so quickly these days, we are already back to our Altering week at Try It On Tuesday which, of course if your the lucky winner of our challenge, which is to alter a box, you could be spending your prize of £15 at our sponsor's The Craft Barn.  I made this oragami box with T. H Vintage Shabby paper stash papers. I altered it later by adding an additional sheet on the lid of the box, punched a pretty pattern mid way  down on the lid, which doesn't show here. I then secured some white ribbon. From the same paper stash, I drew around the outside of a masking tape roll, for one flower, then on the inside of the same roll for the two smaller flowers. I then completed them using the spiral method, which you will find in my Papercraft Tutorial blog.  I then completed the box, ready waiting for me to add a gift, with a punched out round label, stamped 'With Love' and added a few swirls. I look forward to seeing your altered boxes, I'm sure there will be some amazing ideas.
