Amendment to earlier post

Hi

Thought I would do this an extra post because you probably won't revisit my previous post and I wanted to point out a few things that  I didn't make clear.

I forgot to say that I glued the box to an extra piece of card  which was 1 cm larger all round than the actual box. And I also made the easel card 1 cm larger all round than the box so that there was an overhang and it looks a little bit neater, as well being a little sturdier.

For that same reason  I cut the length of my drawer (front to back) a  little longer and folded it back on itself to make the front of the box double thickness which I felt would be a bit stronger when pulling it in and out.

I hope you decide to make one because I am really pleased with it. Can't wait to make some more now!

Enjoy the rest of your day!

love from Christine
