Dragon Eye Wand


Harry Potter ain't got anything to touch this baby!

Walnut, Iroko, Cherry, Oak, Beech and Birch were used in this project all chosen for their magical properties to make this wand a general all rounder for the most popular spells. The Dragon's eye is made from an 18mm glass cabochon and painted on the reverse with various shimmering nail varnishes.

Grateful thanks to Pam Harris at Highland Boxes for agreeing to be part of my stupid humour in the video, I hope it does not damage her reputation too much.

Presentation Boxes

Any Size Presentation Boxes

Easy fold-along how to tutorial. These boxes have a square base and can be made with any width to height ratio. Suitable as a presentation box or as a custom sized storage box they have a 1001 uses.

This video demonstrates how to calculate and fold the size of box you desire in two or four colours and is from my companion YouTube channel 'Stephen's Origami Workshop'.




Pen Presentation Box


This rectangular box makes an ideal presentation box for a pen, necklace or any other rectangular item.

It is easily folded from two sheets of A4 or letter size paper cut into a square. This will give the right size for the average pen. You can of course make these rectangular boxes any size.

The instructions in this how to tutorial are clear, concise and set at a comfortable pace to fold along to if you wish. This video presentation is from my companion YouTube channel 'Stephen's Origami Workshop'.




Small Part Storage Boxes


Ideal for Crafting and Card Makers who need to store lots of tiny components.

I use this type of box to organise my electronic components for easy access. It can be made from 160gsm card and sized to combine with the square presentation boxes above so they all fit neatly into drawers wasting very little space.

This box can save you a fortune in shop bought storage solutions. Once you have made a few and got the hang of it you can turn these boxes out in minutes with your eyes closed!
