This Box is for Kay Mespelt

Kay, I hope this is the box you were referring to. If not, just let me know.
















All Occasion Box:Supplies:
1 Sheet Designer Series Paper (double sided)
Sticky Strip
Eyelets (8) to coordinate with your paper
Brads (2) for your handle
Ribbon (Read instructions for ribbon in step #7)
Scor Pal with Scor tool
Crop-A-Dile
1/16” Handheld punch or paper piercing tool
























Step #1
Cut your designer series paper 10.5” X 4.5” (you will need two at this size. You can get them both from the same sheet of Designer Series Paper.

Step #2
Place your paper on the Scor Pal with the 10.5” side at the top
Score each piece at 3/4”, 3” , 7-1/2” and 9-3/4”














Step #3Crease all score lines. On Both ends, fold your ends (3/4”) down so the reverse side of the paper shows.





















Step #4
You will now punch your holes to thread your ribbon through.
I set both pieces on top of each other and punched both at the same time. Set your Crop-A-Dial to measure in about ½” and punch your all the corners.

Step #5 Set your eyelets









Step #6
Place your pieces on top of each other with one facing North-South the other facing East West. Place your sticky strip on the box bottom as shown. Tape down the bottom of one onto the other. This is your box shape.














Step #7
Lace your ribbon through the eyelets and tie either a knot or a bow.
If tying a knot your will need 4 to 5 “ per corner depending on your ribbon. .
If tying a bow you will need 8 to 10” per corner depending on your ribbon.







Step #8
With your leftover Designer Series Paper. Cut a 1” strip to use as your handle. ( The reason I use brads to attach the handle is so you can remove them and the ribbons to store your box flat when not in use. ) Place the strip inside your box so you can tell where you wish to punch your holes for your brads. Punch your holes using a 1/16” handheld punch or use a paper piercing tool.







I have used raffia, shreddies, tissue paper crumpled up etc. inside my boxes. Use what ever you like. If you use something that would leave oil spots (cookies) line with waxed paper or saran wrap first.



These boxes can be made for any occasion just by changing your Designer Series Paper.





Now Kay and any others that make this box, I would love to see what you make so please either link or e-mail or whatever so everyone can share.



Thanks for stopping by. Until we stamp again !
