Re: Jennbaby -Cake Box
I saved this from another postI went to Michaels and bought plain round boxes. (they are brown) 3 sizes. Each one smaller than the next. I cut the bottom off the smallest and middle size. I placed the small one on top of the middle one and traced around. Then cut a whole in the top of the middle one. As close to the circle you drew as possible but not right on it. Do the same with the middle box on top of the bottom. This allows the cards to fall to the bottm box. I painted them all white. Then glued the small box to the middle one and the middle to the bottom one. (you can glue the tops on the boxes for extra 'security' if you want. Then I glued flowers and ribbon on it to decorate it.
Sounds complicated but was actually easy.
You actually may want to cut a little bit insides the circle. You want the boxes to cover the holes you cut out. So you need to leave enough room to glue the box on top of the hole. Does that make sense?
God I wish we had drawing tools.
Picture that to be the bottom (biggest box) and the 'mouth is the hole you cut. The middle bos (which is smaller than the bottom) should cove the entire hole.
I think I am over explaining. Let me know if this helps. It didn't take me that long to do and I think it cost me under $10.
