Box for beaded pens



 I have been making beaded pens for a couple of years now.  I personalize them and give them as a reward to my outstanding students.  I also make a box to go with the pen.  I have  made the boxes with acetate but  it is time consuming and hard to glue.  I've also used cardstock, but the pen can't be seen.  So I combined the two and made a with a window using acetate to cover the opening.  I used a CM square punch to cut it.  I liked the result.  The last week I made 28 personalized pens and boxes!  It was lots of work but my wonderful students deserved them!  it was so rewarding to hand them out as gifts!
