I think you are awesome and the things you create are wonderful. I have enjoyed your life’s lessons as well as the projects and techniques you present. Dana
Just now finding you over the last couple months. This was so easy to make with your directions.
The BBW are now 10oz and a smidge talker. How would you suggest to adapt the height? Maybe I will look at the small we ones and see if I can figure it out. Thanks for your inspiration.
Do you have measurements for 10 Oz bottle? The Bath & Body shower gel I have is 10 oz.
Love this box, would it be possible for you to make one to fit the Bath and Body Works Shower gels (I think they are 10 ounces).
Thanks
Love all your 3d projects especially for BBW items… I made the big one, but as I scrolled down saw you had the mini’s now i wanna do that one too….I will post mine to FB. Thanks again for another fun box!! Love Impossible boxes..
I’m so happy I found your posts! You have some of the most unique ideas. I can’t make them fast enough. THANK YOU so much for sharing your talent with us. I just ‘happened’ upon you. Your projects are just amazing. I don’t know of any other demonstrator or anyone that has the amount of different boxes and containers that you have. WOO HOO…I’ve hit the jackpot!!
Thank you so much for your kind words, Bobbie! I am honored to inspire you! ❤️
Julie was so kind to make this same box with the travel size dimensions. I really appreciate that. I like giving gifts all year round, and this size will be perfect for what I need. Thank you Julie. Your boxes are the best. I have made lots of gifts using your boxes, and ideas. Keep up the good work.
Gorgeous! Thanks for sharing the dimensions. I’m horrible at box-making.
I loved your box so I had to make one last night. I can’t stop playing with it. I’m going to see if I can find the other box that is smaller and make one of those. I look forward to watching you on YouTube every week!
This is such a great box! Can’t wait to make it. Thanks for linking me to the foaming hand soap one, too!
Hello Julie: I just watched the video on U-tube and I left a comment there but I wanted to come here to your blog to thank you again for your generosity in making these videos and sharing them with us.
This box is just perfect for the upcoming Holidays so, I’m going to make a few of them give to my grandkids’ teachers and coaches.
Please, stay healthy and safe.

Maria.
Such a beautiful box
Thank you so much, Tanja! ❤️
