Hi All , here is some information on the boxes that Jeannine makes to put her pendants in.
Made of card material, comes in many colours and is quite stiff . Once folded , holds it's shape. No glue involved.

Jeannine drew a diagram

She traces the foldlines and cutlines with a sharp tool.

She makes to boxes and the bigger one fits over the smaller one to act as lid.
The card material was purchased online at an office supplier here in NZ.
In America I think there is a store called "Michael" from memory, when we were in Salem OR. a few years ago.
