Hi friends! π
Today I'm sharing one of my NEW favourite paper projects... this beautiful Victorian Twist Box!
At first glance, it looks like a lovely little decorative shadow box, but with one simple twist, it magically opens to reveal a hidden scene inside! It's easier to make than you might think, and once I figured out a few little tricks, I couldn't stop making them.
In this tutorial, I'll walk you through the entire process step-by-step, share the shortcuts I discovered along the way, and even show you one of my favourite hacks for organising and storing paper ephemera.
Whether you enjoy card making, junk journaling, scrapbook projects, or simply creating beautiful handmade paper crafts, I hope this inspires you to give this unique project a try.

If you enjoy this tutorial, I'd love it if you'd give it a π, subscribe, and let me know in the comments what theme you'd create inside your Victorian Twist Box!
Have fun with this and THANKS for watching!
~ Tina
