The one in the center is one that has the foam core cut to fit inside and the window cut out..
I have done a number of rooms in gift bags over the years, but this one is a little different.
Tessie is already complaining that they made the door too short...
These have a back wall printed on the interior. There are cellophane windows in the front, so you can see the interior. So no cutting of a window in the front. People are going to have to peek in the windows to see what is going on inside.
A friend sent me four different styles of these a few years ago. I know I will never do four of them, so I took them with me to Wednesday Witches, yesterday.
I talked three other witches into joining me in bag, room box making.
It has a slate floor at the bottom, and shelves with baskets of flowers. I think that I will turn it into an indoor garden room.
I have my work cut out for me... Or should I say, my work will be cutting out. I am going to cut out the pieces for the floors and walls for everyone. The floors will be ceiling tile and the walls foam core. Easy enough to do. I may as well since I have the material and tools.
So... Back to the saw and Exacto.
See you tomorrow.

I am so happy to see you working on the roombox/bag. I was given four Christmas
ones like that many years ago by my sister. They are beautifully illustrated inside
and out. I immediately filled them to make a scene in each. The four are:
- Toymaker which I filled with toys
- Candlesticks, which has two chest of drawers filled with candles
- Bakery with tall cabinet and a table with bakery goods
- Eatery, which I made a new sign for and called The Tea Shoppe. It has a
table, two chairs and a treat table.
The only change I made to the decorating was I gave them all a marble floor with
Contact paper.
