Hi everyone, yesterday I shared these fun and very clever Impossible Boxes!

I made the blue and yellow sizes first during one of my Facebook Live Craft Along’s and the green version is a new size.

These clever self-closing boxes and surprisingly easy to make and pretty quick too!

Simply push the lid down to close them.

I used Horace & Geri to decorate these taller versions.

These smaller styles are perfect for gifting those smaller presents and even 1 Tunnocks Teacake!
