Hello again everyone,
It's Joann here again and I am delighted to show you another fun little box to make. I got the idea from a candy box that I was given that had sides that opened up so you could almost fold the box flat. Well, I got out my trusty little craft knife and took it apart to see how it was put together : )
and here it is open
To make this fun little box follow these simple steps:
Step 1
Score at 2 ¼, 4 ¼, 7 ¾, 9 ¾ , and 11 ¾
Step 2
Flip to the other edge and score at 2 ¾, 4 ¾, 7 ¼, and 9 ¼
Step 3
Trim off the extra pieces to leave the final shape as shown
Step 4
To round the flaps so the box will open and close I simply took an oval die and traced the shape and fussy cut the flap.
Step 5
To make the flaps on the top of the box a little nicer I took my Spellbinders die and placed the flap through as shown and then run this part through your machine far enough to cut the die.
Step 6
Finish the inside by adding DP before you assemble the box
Step 7
I distressed the edges of the outside of the box before decorating with more pretty DP
Here's a list of the products I used for this project:
