I did a double-take when I passed by the coat-rack and saw all these big eyes staring back. How cute are these, I ask you? Grace whipped them up. She's actually been making and experimenting with these folded paper boxes since she was about seven. Yes, they are that simple. You can use almost any sturdy paper; these were made from a wall calendar from last year--great way to recycle, no? Think: cute boxes for gifting. A fun rainy day project for sure--and rainy days are here again.

Those are great...What fun that she not only made them, but then displayed them for you to discover. I sure hope my girls continue to create as they grow...

Oh! Those are amazingly cute! Must go find my stash of calendars. You know, those ones I save for some reason I can never remember.

What a great tutorial, and I love the boxes Grace made. :) I think I'll make use of that tutorial this holiday season!

I taught my 7 year old to embroider today, (she has not been interested until today) and a vintage pattern none-the-less. Thank you for the box tutorial, I think she will love it!

Very cute indeed. And I love the placing, just the spot for little bits and pieces.

Grace is a very talented young lady ! I feel a box-making session coming on . But I doubt they'll be this perfect .

Love Grace's boxes. And thanks for the tutorials. Just what I need w/holidays coming on.

Grace is quite talented; my daughter loved the tiny bakery treats we purchased a few years ago. Can't wait for your caramel corn recipe; my husband loves it and we were just talking about learning how to make it the other day.

Love these! Thank Grace for me.
