I have a new-found respect for those of you who stitch the same design multiple times. I finished up my four little boxes last week, and can I just say....NEVER doing that again!
Here they are, from the top:
The second shot shows the paper I attached to the inside with Modge Podge and then covered with a clear varnish.
And here are the insides. The fabrics weren't all exact matches, but they were as close as I could get! And what doesn't show in the any of the pictures very well is the felt I put on the bottom of each box. Again, coordinating with the cording/bird/inside fabric.
I think my husband's grandmother would be pleased...the bird beads were from her jewelry stash! I've recycled them into more than a few projects over the years. The little boxes are for my stitchy friends, and will be delivered this weekend.

Erin your little boxes look lovely! Well done!
Those are adorable! Good work!
Beautiful finishes. It's the reason I will never really sell anything because I can't stomach the thought of repeating a project again and again.
