I hope I saved the best until last Advent Bonus Project – #240

14 November, 2017 by lizyuille Leave a Comment

14 Nov

I know that Advent really only has 24 Days, but I need to share this project with you, so I hope you will forgive me. I admit that the numbers I used are Contraband, but to get the right size, there was no choice, so please forgive me for that too.

This is really not a complicated project. It is one that takes a little time as you do need to make 24 boxes, but they are fairly simple boxes, so it is just the repetition that you have to address.

Remember the layers are three, six, five, four, three, two and one. I stuck each layer together individually and made sure they were fully dry before I then stuck the layers together. I encourage you to use a wet glue (obviously my recommendation would be TomBow Multipurpose Glue) if you want this project to become a Christmas Tradition; it will withstand the variations of temperature that stored Christmas decorations are likely to have to put up with.

I am being realistic and we have reset my Personal Bests for during this time in my life. But each week back at the gym is increasing those Personal Bests, which is great for the ego. It's all about being realistic.
