Paint Swatch Boxes

I saw this project involving paint swatch boxes and immediately wanted to try it. The materials I used were paint swatches, an x-acto knife, a pencil, ruler, and glue. The process involved first marking measurements with a ruler. Then I used my x-acto to cut the sides, I folded them and hot glued them in place. They didn't look great at first but I went back in with a liquid glue and cleaned up the sides a bit.


In the end they look very cute but are not the most sturdy containers. It was a nice project but I can create stronger boxes with different material that are easier to work with.

Paper Weaving

Papermatrix is my favorite downloadable design website. I especially love this paper jar. The instructions aren't great but you can figure it out based on the photos of the process. The materials required are colored paper, glue, and scissors.


They're a great decoration piece and look pretty impressive too.
