The Spiral Sprout Boxes

Here is a peek into the process of making your custom spiral sprout boxes. The finish is now underway so they’ll be ready for pick up soon! Each photo enlarges when you click on it and includes a brief description of what was going on in the moment. I’ve had a wonderful time bringing these boxes to life. Thank you again for giving me the chance to make them. I hope they’ll be a welcome addition to your collection.
