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!
