    Default My fabric boxes

    I started some of these the first day the link was posted. I'm just slow in getting them posted. The dark green fabric has a silver and gold metallic pattern on it. So I used my gold embroidery thread to quilt it and added silver buttons. The blue ones still need buttons. I'll be doing that when I man the raffle ticket booth this Friday. All the pictures are a little washed out from the sun... fabrics are much brighter.

    Love them. I would leave some of the blue ones without buttons. I think they look kinda cool with the 'ears' standing up.

    Mighty cute! They do look sweet with their "ears" up. Add a nice napkin inside and put your rolls in for Thanksgiving dinner.

    These are cute-I need to jump on this bandwagon quickly. Seeing the boxes with the corners up made me wonder--rather than folding them to the sides, has anyone thought of a clever way to fold them to the top whereby creating a box you could put a gift in? I was thinking maybe sewing some ribbon to the corners and tying at the top center. I am making some dishtowel sets for Christmas gifts and thought these would be nice to pack them in. No wrapping paper needed!
