boxes..

Well.. can't  avoid the box/display issues anymore.  Need to make a decision as I had to deliver three soaps  this week .. but more of this later...

Made paper box first before trying out a one piece box I'd seen on Youtube .. they card was too thick so the corners didn't meet up so gave up- tho' the size at least was ok. 
Cut out another  set of sides and base and ( another Youtube tip)  tried uhu non-string gel (they fibbed) ... looked horrible and abandoned that too... It rarely, if ever, pays to take short cuts.

So many options for boxes but chose  to make a divided clamshell box in red and brown; the colours of the Foundling Hospital uniform.((brown = humility). The soap looks strangely torso like and seemed unprotected loose in the box.

I played with the Hospital's emblem of the lamb  creating stamps for the tissue paper but decided that neither box nor tissue work particularly well as they look a bit 'gift shop'. Back to the drawing board.
