Use your stash!




With taking a rest from crafting my mind was full of ideas
to use up what stash I have and this is one of them.
I designed a little box to hold my metal candle holders
which I picked up (quite a lot) from Ikea.
They were greatly reduced and I thought I'd use them for something
but they just lay in the bottom drawer!

So here is what I made.
The candle holder has been stamped in  stazon
and the boxes have been made using my retired paper stash.

You can watch my video here

This size of box also fits the 2 1/4" candles.

Measurements needed to follow along
Paper - 8 1/2" x 3 3/4"
Score long side - 2 3/4", 3 1/2", 6 1/4", 7"
Score short side - 3/4" both sides

I would like to enter these into

Welcome to my newest follower PAT CLAYTON!
Thanks so much for following my wee blog.
