I was looking through photos from Japanese craft books when I knew I had to make this:
Cute, no? The flower and chocolate eggs are courtesy Cally — what better use of a mini drawer than a secret stash for chocolate eggs?
This was a terrifically fun project. I built the drawer out of heavy watercolour paper; I love making 3D objects from paper (like my little Tudor house) — all the measuring and scoring and folding of tabs is very soothing. I covered the shell and drawer with Kaffe Fassett prints (Rowan textiles are my new obsession, temporarily taking the focus off Liberty), and the drawer is lined with red wool felt.
I can see more of these in my future — I actually remembered to make a pattern before assembling this time!
Lovely! By the way, I posted your GTAS parcel this lunchtime… hope it arrives safely soon.
Oh, so sweet! At first I thought it was made from a matchbox. The fabrics are beautiful!
If you fuse your fabric to a piece of thai rice paper, you’ll end up with fabric that can be cut with a lot less fraying (almost none if you treat the cut eges with fray glue) and it’s then foldable. I do it all the time to use in my bookbinding.
Oh it’s beautiful, but how on earth can you make chocolate eggs last for more than a day, you must be some sort of ‘miracle child’!
I love that almost little too much!
The box is certainly darling! I would have had those chocolates downed before they ever reached the box!! I would use the box for stamps…something I use less often.
