Much of my crafting time lately has gone towards wedding preparations. There's a lot of stuff that we have decided to do ourselves. Not because it's cheaper necessarily, but because we are overly ambitious and like making crap.
We decided fairly early on that we wanted to give favors, and we
wanted them to be local to San Francisco, and ideally chocolate. Then
came the ideas for what to put said chocolates in. Originally we were
going to fold fabric into origami boxes, but that quickly was ruled out
to the amount of work. We're still going with the origami box idea, but
now we are doing them in paper.
Finding the right paper has turned out to be a lot more difficult than originally thought. We've spent a lot of time at Flax, going through their paper books. We tried all different sizes to figure out how much and how many.
We finally ended up going with a paper we found online at PaperMojo.
One of the things we loved about them is that they will cut the paper
for us. We still have to cut the 336 pieces for the little liner boxes,
but that's better than having to do all the cutting. We also have to
find a ribbon that we like to make the bow on the box.
Now the fun starts: the folding! I have a feeling we are going to become experts in peak folds.
Very creative. I think it makes your wedding more personal when you create the favors and or arrangements and stuff. I love the boxes and think its a great idea. I can't wait to see some of your other projects!! I'm adding you to my blog roll.
