    Our Artist in Residence answers your questions
    Q: Rebecca asks: "Can the Diamond Shaped Ornament be made into a gift box that also hangs on the tree?"
    A: It can! After you've attached two tabs, you can tuck a treat inside before adhering the last side - you might even want to add a little 'pull' tag to the adhesive on one of those last tabs. Unfortunately since it needs strong adhesive to keep it closed and hold the extra weight, it can't be used as an ornament after it's been opened.
