Hello! Does your recipe box look worn out? Does it show wear and tear? Maybe you should re-decorate it and rejuvenate it! I made this recipe box for someone, but if they don't want it, I am DEFINITELY going to use it myself!
I got the box at my local office supply store, and it's really just an accordian file.
Here's an overall view of the box front.
Next we have a close up of the front of the box. I scored diagonal lines in my Core'dinations cardstock to make this design, and then stamped a flower in each center to make my own designer paper.
Here's the inside of the box, view 1. I made little tabs to help keep everything organized.
This is a close up of some of the tabs.
These are all the tabs. Since there are so many slots, I doubled up on the subjects.
This is the top of the box, and a close up of my "homemade" cherries! Aren't they cute?!
This the top of the box. On the opposite side of the cherries, I have cut out an apron and stamped "Favorite Recipes" on it.
Here's a close up of one of the tabs for Poultry.
And the back of the tab. See, it's just a library clip found at Michael's.
And that's it! Now, this box did take me 3 days to finish, BUT, I have only had limited time to work on it, so this CAN be done in one day! I had a lot of fun making this! I might just have to make one for myself!
