TA's New Year's Box
Nov. 27th, 2017 08:51 pmTA is a young colleague of mine whom I love very much and who appreciates handmade gifts like few other people on this planet. I already made her the most elaborate wedding album, a bride plushie, a decorated candle and other stuff, and she loved them all.
Now, since her family is Jewish and they don't really do the whole Christmas hooppla, I decided to make her a New Year themed explosion box. I'm quite content with it and hope that she'll like this one, too.
The finished box, closed, with lid:
The lid, seen from above. The letters on top are an abbreviation of Boldog Új Évet Kívánok, the Hungarian version of Happy New Year.
The outer layer with funny signs:
The middle layer; I decided to keep it simple because TA likes such geometric patterns, with lots of black and white:
And finally the inner layer. The sign behind the gate-folded window says: She needed a HERO, so that is what she became. I like that a lot:
Now I'm going to make another box for a colleague of my age who's often done me small favours, like giving me a lift home, so she deserves something special.
I also brought the kiddies into the box-making home industry; they are eagerly making their own boxes for the parents as Christmas gifts. When those are done, I'll post some pics here. They are very creative and talented for 10-11-year-olds.
