little boxes

modflowers: gift boxI’ve been thinking about the packaging for my pendants and brooches recently.

With thoughts of Christmas gifts, I decided to get some little boxes to put them in.

Finding the right size has been tricky.

The pendants’ fabric strings take up more space than a chain, and therefore don’t fit easily into a standard box.

Typical! Make life difficult for myself, why don’t I?!

But, at last, I’ve managed to find some suitably plain, suitably-sized, suitably-priced ones.

modflowers: apple pendant with gift boxIn keeping with my passion for recycling and upcycling, they’re made from 100% recycled material, 50% of it post-consumer (the most eco-friendly sort of recycled paper products).

I also have nice little round labels to put on them. So people know where they came from.

I’m not sure about the ribbon in the first photo, but it’s all I happened to have around. I’m going to experiment with other colours.

Or possibly vintage fabric scraps…

Anyway, it means that if you buy a pendant or brooch as a gift, I can make it extra special by supplying it in a nice box.

One that’s not all made out of ticky-tacky. ♥

    • That was my original intention Sarah, but I found it made the label hard to read and means it would get torn when the box was opened. Plus the box looked a bit plain with nothing on the top!
