I made this paper pieced gift box at Christmas but just got around to getting a picture of it. I had intended to make some with Christmas fabric but you know how things are rushed during the holidays! It was time consuming but pretty easy to make. The two sides go up through a buttonhole in the other two sides to close it up. When it is open, it can be a table topper....maybe for under a candle or some decoration. Anyway, here it is.

Closed up it is about 6.5" square x 3.5" high

Open it is about 16" x 16"
