You will need to decide on the size of opening you desire, that will be your cardboard and batting size. If you will be keeping needles, make sure they will fit inside the lid. I will be selling templates for this project when I get the sizes that I like confirmed. They will be in my Etsy shop in February 2015.Colleen MacKinnon; Penny Rugs and Morehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01823396382633982306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8713302929074247099.post-19770807134648512392015-01-12T13:15:23.653-08:002015-01-12T13:15:23.653-08:00I am interested in what measurement you found to w...I am interested in what measurement you found to work for a side of the template?Melvahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00199402156032442660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8713302929074247099.post-34146993315949262202015-01-05T13:12:03.013-08:002015-01-05T13:12:03.013-08:00I have made these little boxes but it was several ...I have made these little boxes but it was several years ago.
