Thanks! I used satin from a local fabric store, and bought spray adhesive to keep the fabric from moving

Re: DIY Cardbox

I cut a hole in mine so the cards fall to the bottom, not sure if I was really supposed to though ...

I bought stick on crystals and decals at Michaels, and I bought that ribbon you see around the 'mouth' of the middle tier.

you lift the top off of the bottom box everything else is glue on top of that and you're just left with the bottom box opened.

eta: Here's one I made

nice job...you can do this as a side job
