Every year I make something for my children ( who are all grown ups I hasten to add)
That is sweet based this year I found a tutorial by another crafter Sam Callcott
And decided to CASE it and these are the boxes I came up with the tutorial is super easy to follow with amazing results
Aren’t they amazing !
I made 3 for my children and 1 for a friend and love each of them
To begin you will need a several pieces of card stock
Piece 1
8 1/4” x 11”
scoring the long side at 1/2, 11/2”,10”
And the short side at 1”,71/4”
You will need to cut out the center of the card leaving a 1” border
Piece 2
81/4” x 91/2”
Scoring the long side at 81/2”
And the short side at 1”,71/4”
Piece 3
71/4” x 81/2”
Score short side at 1”
You will need a piece of acetate cut to 51/2”x 71/2”
A piece of gold card cut to 53/4” x 8” with the center cut out leaving a 7/8” border
And a piece of cardstock or DSP cut to 71/2” x 51/4” with the center cut out leaving a 5/8” border
You will also needed
X2 pieces of gold cardstock cut to 81/4” x 6”
X2 DSP cut to 8”x 53/4”
To construct the box layer up the acetate and the 2 cut out pieces of gold and DSP /cardstock pieces add them to piece 1 on the outside next add piece 2 to piece one making sure the bottom lines up glue the end without the 1/2 “ flap down
Add the gold sands DSP layers to both sides of piece 3 before adding to the main box
I found it easier to load my box before adding the lid as it helped the box maintain its shape.
For box 4 I added a piece of silver paper to create a pocket for a gift card or money to be added which is optional
