Anyone making their own card box?

I am not too crazy about the card box options out there.

I never thought I'd be this anal. I was always a laid back person...I swear!

I made my own card box in the shape of a wedding cake using hat boxes. I'll give you directions if you're interested.

You ladies are so crafty!

My idea of DIY card box was to get a big box and wrap it with pretty wrapping paper.

I think we got them at Michael's.

Honestly, I really have no use for it now and I can't bring myself to take it apart and throw it away. I'd be more than happy to let you use it!!

I have some old hat boxes i got years ago that i store comic book in... they have white flowers all over it so it matches so i am glueing them together and putting a hole on the top and using some white or ivory satin to cover the hole up and pinning it to the box.

Something like the above hat box but the pattern is showing. Post pics when its done in a few weeks.

Hat boxes are cheap so you can pick them up on ebay!

I'm glad I can buy the hat box.
