Strip Quilting (also known as string quilting) is the perfect way to use up narrow strips of fabric. I have lots of strips of card stock and designer paper beside my paper trimmer after I've cut all of the layers for cards and scrapbook pages, so I decided to do a different pattern of "quilt". The strips are layed in a random pattern in parallel and perpendicular lines onto the adhesive-covered base, then cut out with the Big Shot and the Top Note Die.
Added into the mix is a layer of lightweight chipboard. The Big Shot cuts through mulitiple layers with ease. This is a sweet little box, which turned out to be very sturdy as well as pretty.
The flap shown here slides inside the box, allowing it to open and close many times and keeps the box closed securely.
It'll be fun to give a little gift in a box that will be kept and used as much as the gift inside.
Absolutely! I'd love to know how to make that box too, pretty please! :)
