Happy Monday!
I'm sharing a needle felted lookalike figure and box
I made for my son Milo's 40th last year.
I did do a video of the box but stupidly didn't have
my sound turned on lol but the measurements
are all there and you can watch what I did
if you need a bigger box.
This one is about 7" tall, 5" wide and 3" deep.
I added an acetate window so you could
see the figure inside.
Not a bad likeness for a beginner!
He has a right wee tan on him lol.
This was the only skin colour I had enough of.
This is what he wears while working and he uses
his phone and laptop to do car mapping etc.
I even added his business logo to his jumper
and knit him a beanie which he always wears.
You can watch the video if you need a big box here

A wonderful needle felted figure of your son and brilliant box
A great idea and I'm sure Milo just loved it. Super box as well
What a lovely idea to personalise it for your Son Mile and yes, not a bad likeness at all, sure it made him smile.
