Fabric Boxes for Bazaar Fundraiser
 

[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.

very interesting boxes, well done.

great boxes, well done.

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.

Really nice boxes!

nicely done!!!!

Sew, are you addicted to making them yet? Great fabrics.

Great idea! People forget about gifts for us sewers.

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.

Very cute! I wish you lots of luck & hope you sell out at your bazaar!

Very cute. Thanks jbud2 for the idea of the tissues. BrendaK

Very nice boxes!

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.
