Origami = fun!

For a while I've been trying to figure out what type of packaging I wanted for my jewellery. I've been looking at different websites to see if I could buy ready made boxes, and I've previously been making little jewellery boxes myself.

Two problems.

1. If I want to buy ready made boxes, I'd basically have to order them from the US, if I want some different types to choose from. This would become very expensive, and it feels silly to have boxes shipped halfway across the globe, just for me to send them back out again.

2. The method I used for making boxes myself wasn't very efficient. A lot of cutting, folding and gluing, which was all very time consuming. I was also having a trouble getting the boxes equal in size, so this wasn't a good option either.

The other day I was doing some research, and realized that origami would be an option - I tried out a simple style, and the result is some really cute boxes! Only one problem... I can see this becoming quite addictive, and I'm not really sure I need another thing taking up my time at the moment!

Here they are:



Wishing everyone a great weekend!
