I created a tall box that could easily hold pens and pencils or an assortment of left over embellishments we all seem to collect.
Step 1: Cut cardstock 11 1/2" x 11 1/2" (I forgot to do this till step 2!).
Step 2: Score cardstock at 2 3/4", 7 3/4"
Step 3: Rotate once and score at 1/2", 3 1/4", 6", 8 3/4"
Step 4: Cut along the score lines as shown and trim the 1/2" edge from the top and bottom
Step 5: Cut coordinating panels of cardstock 2 1/2" x 4 3/4" (save scraps)
Cut pattern paper panels 2 1/4" x 4 1/2"
Ink edges with Clearsnap Mustard Dye Ink before assembling
Add Scor-Tape to the cardstock and adhere to the center panels of the box (it's easier to do this while the box is flap)
Step 6: Find the center of each top panel and cut to form triangles
Step 7: Add Scor-tape to the 1/2" panel and assemble box
Step 8: Remember the left over scraps from the cardstock panels? Adhere one to the bottom of the box to provide some additional support.
Step 9: Punch holes in the tops of each piece and run ribbon through and tie together.
Step 10: Add assorted flowers and leaves to the box with glue dots.
Thanks for stopping by today.
