Fabric Boxes for Bazaar Fundraiser
2 Attachment(s)
[ATTACH=CONFIG]446484[/ATTACH]
I am always looking for quick, inexpensive ideas for presents or bazaar items. These seem to fit the bill. And I think filled with some homemade cookies, a variety of candies, or jams, or whatever, even napkins would make a really cute gift. So I used 12-inch squares to start with and then added the buttons to the flaps. Thank you for the ideas and the site reference and so many postings. Here is my version. |
love them - great job. But don't forget your quilting friends and put some fat 8 in there with some thread or other goodies!!
|
nicely done
|
They look great.
|
They are so fun to make and yours are so cute. I need to start on some Christmas ones.
|
hope they make lots of money at the fundraiser ...
nice |
Your fabric selections are great! I made several out of the 14 inch square of fabric, and they hold a square box of tissues. I am going to make more for a Church group to fill with snacks, books, lotion, etc - to give to our shut-ins as a sunshine gift. I figured they could use them after they are empty to hold odds-and-ends in or on their dressers, or a box of tissues, or to re-gift.

Love those boxes.
|
Lovely boxes and sure to be a hit!
|
Very nice boxes.

|

|
So nice. I love fabric boxes.
|
I am making some fabric boxes for our Women's Club to sell at their Christmas sale. What are you charging for yours? What does everyone think would be a fair price. Mine are made from a 15" square. Thanks for your input.
|
Love the boxes. I want to try them soon.
|
Looks good.
|

|
nicely done!!!!
|

I had a dozen fabric boxes (price of $7 for 15 inch sq) at a recent craft fair. Got lots of compliments and the boxes were touched by just about everyone who stopped at the table. Unfortunately not a single sale. I wondering sales might happen if the boxes were part of a "gift" set with soaps or cookies or fancy napkins. People commented that is what they would use the box for as they wandered off to another display.
|
I know that QuiltNan had posted that none had sold at their booth. BUT, I have a backup plan and if none sell, then I will put them to good use and it will save me from having to make more. We'll see how it goes. I thought about putting something in them for display purposes possibly.

Where is the original thread for these? They are really adorable!
|
Justflyingin, the instructions are found on: http://seaside-stitches.blogspot.com...-tutorial.html. There are haveen several different fabric box postings. Glad you like them.
|
Very nice fabric boxes!
|
Those would be perfect filled fundraisers! Hope you makes lots of monies!
|
Love 'em. These are sure hot right now!
|
Very nice -- love your selection of colours. I think $7.00 is a perfect price for them. Pity that they didn't sell. But now you have Christmas gifts already made.

those are adorable! i followed the same tute only used a 10" square. i have filled mine up with candy to sell for the Christmas craft faires. i love the idea of cookies! i left one open so everyone could see what was inside and how it was made, and the rest i wrapped in cellophane and tied with raffia.

I have made a dozen of them so far to use as small gifts. I just love them. Yours are so cute. How much are you going to sell them for?

I have to get crackin' after seeing these. Christmas is only 6 months away, right? Oh wait....

They are wonderful and with the additions you mentioned they are sure to be a hit!

I just have to try my hand at making some of these. Yours are so wonderful looking. Thanks for sharing.
