John Next Door - Deco Butterflies Day 3

 Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

How was your weekend? We managed to get out for some walks and get a few jobs in the garden done. 

This is my last post for the Deco Butterfly dies from the John Next Door range. This project deserves its own blog post. 


I made a box and decorated it with the butterflies and lots of other dies. I used my scoring board to make the box. 


Here is the top of the box. I used some lattice corner dies. Also the Small Flower die and the Small Leaves die. All the dies are used are from the John Next Door range. 


This is what I put in the box. They are felted soaps. The wool fibres sink to fit the soap. The soap is used as normal and the lather comes through the wool. The felt works a mild exfoliator. I made bands for the soap using the Deco word dies. I have wanted to try felting soaps for a while now. 


I also made divisions for the box so that the soaps fitted. This was all inspired by a gift I received. 


On Hochanda you could see this box on the counter. On Wednesday this week we are getting our first vaccine. I do hope this all helps. 

I would like to enter the following challenges:

Have a good week. 

Happy Crafting
