I saw an box similar to this that someone else made and thought it was such a good idea. Regular tennis shoe box - Ran paper through Xyron and attached to box - I put in smaller eyelets for grossgrain type ribbon and larger ones for organdy (an electric drill works good to make the holes) - I also added two dowels to hold the rolls in place. Thought I should pass on the idea.

That's the prettiest shoebox I've ever seen! I love this idea and I think you just gave me the inspiration I need to get off my duff and DO IT! Love the butterflies! Very nice work!

For anyone who wants to know - I purchased both sizes of the eyelets in the fabric dept at my local craft store (Hobby Lobby), but I'm sure you can get them at any fabric store. These are nice because they come with their own setter which is short and that way you can fit it inside the box and still have room to hammer.

I love this! I just made one! I was very easy to do I had all the supplies here at home but a wooden dowel. It cost me a whole .49 cents to make. Gee....... I wonder if anyone would like to do a workshop on making one of these??
