Here's a quick tutorial I put together today showing how to make a simple "wobbler" from wire.

A Pretty Cylindrical Box

My aunt gave me a wooden cylindrical box to decorate a couple weeks ago and I had a lot of fun with it.  I really like the horizontal orientation and the flap opening.
These are great for storing all kinds of little things like pencils, quilling tools and sewing supplies.  You could also use one for jewelry or as a gift box.
The construction wasn't very complicated, so I decided to try making one out of card stock.  Now I'm hooked. They aren't difficult to make, they are fairly sturdy and they are so fun to decorate!

Here's a tutorial if you'd like to make one.

Materials List:

• Paper board (a cereal box is perfect)
• 1 sheet of card stock for the liner
• Scraps of coordinating cardstock for the roses and other embellishments

• Round elastic
• Sequins, rainbow drops, etc. for embellishments
• 2 1/4" Round cutting die (The middle die from the Journey Circles Die set *)

Measurements and Cutting:
Cut Ten 2 1/4" circles cut from paper board
