So it was her birthday last week.

But she said it would be next month. So I didn’t buy her anything. Not even a birthday card. She didn’t say anything or I would have bought her chocolate or something.

So I just made her a box. A box made of paper. A box made by myself.

It wasn’t hard making the box but it was tiring. It took a long time to finish. The measurements. Preparation of the materials. But it was fun making it. It was an incredible experience. Even for making a paper box. At least I now know how to make one.

It was my first time making a box. Much less from paper. But it was made easier since I have a book on how to make it.

Can you believe it? I had the book on how to make paper boxes for more than five years and I haven’t even made one until now? Unbelievable right? What’s the use of having the book and not use it? At least now...I can make one just for her. And for the rest of my friends of course.

No need to buy gifts anymore. Yoohoo! Hehe see how cheap I am? Oh well.

Anyway here’s a couple of pics of the so-called “hard-work-made-by-myself box”.

Originally the box was just a plain one. But since it was for a girl so I added a flower on top of the box. Sweet isn’t it? XP

But it was hard. Figuring how to put the flower on top. I had to punch a hole on the lid of the box and glued the flower on it.

It took me almost…five hours…minimum to complete the box, flower plus a couple of “secret things” to put inside the box. I would have finish earlier if I wasn’t making a birthday present for my other close friend. If I had known her birthday sooner, I would have done it earlier and a much better job than this "rushed" version. But I guess it's ok for a first try, right?

Anyway I hope you like the box and the stuffs inside it, even though it’s a lil on the boring side. What can I say? I’m a boring guy. Man…I’m selling myself short. LOL :P

So anyway, I also bought her a nice plushie doll too. I hope she likes it. I hope so.

Well, I guess that’s all for now. Till next time. See ya :D
