It can be a challenge sometimes to make masculine projects so today I have a couple of masculine pencils holders for you. I made these a while ago with a Birthday theme but if you stamp some snowflakes, elves etc. on the boxes and add a Christmas sentiment they would make great stocking fillers. You could even make some for craft fairs.
I thought about using Night of Navy cardstock but I always use that for masculine projects so this time I went with Blueberry Bushell. I only had an A4 sheet of cardstock left and I managed to make both boxes with it and have some left over.
These are the products I used to make the boxes. Click on an image for more information or to visit my online store.

I really enjoyed making these and I have totally fallen in love with Blueberry Bushell. When Dapper Denim retired I admit I missed it A LOT but now Blueberry Bushell is my other go to colour instead for my masculine projects. Night of Navy has a fight on it’s hands.
Have yourself some crafting fun.

When making any project I recommend you make it with cheap cardstock first because when someone is typing up lots of measurements mistakes can be made, we are human after all. I do double check my measurements but I have Dyscalculia.
