Chinese Take out carton ideas...

I had to make party favours for my niece's 1st birthday party this year... So I decided to use a chinese take out carton boxes as the base and spruce it up...

After many many hours of effort, I finally have 20 boxes.

 Went with a yellow and orange theme to match the birthday cake...

 Top it off with a personalised tag...

 All these goodies in one little box..

 There is so many options of how you can spruce a plain white take out carton...  You could add stripes or just about anything else the mind can think of...

 It opens exactly like a take out carton...

 Lid is slightly different just to let it have a neater look.

Weave anyone?

Was cutting coloured strips of paper for a different project but an idea popped into my mind...

Why not weave a box? and this was what I came up with... Didn't want to overdo it so I made a plain top...

 Surprisingly sturdy although it's just strips of paper.. :)
