yanaazul said:fussykiki, thank you so much for sharing your hard work in reverse-engineering these boxes!
So, like everyone else, I ran out to my local fabric store and nope, no velvet ribbon. The store associate says velvet ribbon is seasonal -- fall/winter. I think a field trip up to Britex is in order, if I can get over my absolute irritation at parking in that part of San Francisco. (Oh, but then I could do a side trip to Lang's Antiques!)
But... I had grosgrain ribbon from another project, and I had fabric scraps. So I give you: Denim Ring Box!
I'm thrilled, it's so cute, and I'm a jeans and hoodie kind of girl so perhaps denim is more appropriate for me than velvet, ha. The only part I'm not completely satisfied with is the sponge; I used the inner of a kitchen sponge and it was too soft to wrap the ribbon neatly. So I think I'm going to look for a firmer craft foam.
Thanks again, fussykiki! Happy crafting, everyone else!
Beautiful yanaazul! Love your denim version. I am going to make the correct Mrs. Box size too now...just had to get the experimentation out of the way for a slightly larger box and a lid that stays on. Have a fun trip adventure if you go to Britex and Lang's! I would have to fly there to do something like that.
