Stuffed Fabric Boxes
Dh and I belong to a Model "A" car club and last night we had a silent auction. I made 3 fabric boxes and stuffed 2 with homemade biscotti and the other box with homemade sunflower seed bread. I put a reserve on each one and they sold for much higher. Great for using up scraps. The buttons make the box (they cost more than the scraps). I also made about 5 lbs. of biscotti for refreshments which were gone in about 5 minutes. I painted the paper mache box about 20 yrs ago. These boxes are so much fun to make and they are a hit no matter what you stuff them with. I'll be making lots for the holidays. They make great hostess gifts when you drop in to visit friends. I taught my quilting group how to make them today.
