Puffy boxes are a fun gift box, you can make them using standard card stock or even 12″ x 12″ or 30 cm patterned paper. I shared them in this weeks Craft and Chat. I recommend you make a template from a thin piece of paper, so you will need to grab a pencil and a plate.
If you are using A4 or 8 1/2″ x 11″ card, you will need a maximum of a 6 1/4″ or 16cm plate.
If you are making the big box from 2 sheets of 12″ x 12″ or 30 cm x 30cm, you will need a maximum of a 10 3/4″ or 27cm plate.

I have a few more pictures for you to see the boxes, they are so much fun!
Here is a picture of the side of the box, they are surprisingly deep.
I hope you have a go making them they are so easy and a fun way of q wrapping a gift.
We are going sofa shopping this weekend. Its for my office, so I’m hoping for a blue one…… Ha, no surprise there, but we will have to see what is available.
And randomly we are shopping for crisps too. Have you ever watched ‘Inside the Factory”? Its a UK BBC program and takes you on a tour or all sorts of factories, I love the behind the scenes stuff. Last week it was all about Tortilla chips, but within the program they showcased Plastic Free Crisp packets. I’ve tracked down the company, they are called Two Farmers, and my local Garden Centre apparently sells them. I shall get some and report back.
Along with weeding and grass cutting I think we have a full weekend planned.
I hope you have a wonderful time what ever you have got planned. See you next week.
