1) Using Chipboard, an empty Cereal box, protective layer found in DSP paper packs or similar heavy weight cardboard, cut 2 pieces to measure 5” x 6 ¼” – these will be the front and back of the box. Cut 2 pieces 3” x 5” for the sides, and one piece 3” x 6 ¼” for the base of the box. NOTE: if you are using a lighter weight cardboard, you may choose to add an additional layer as I did in the video
2) Using one sheet 12” x 12” of Designer Series Paper, cut two pieces 6” x 7 ¾” and 2 pieces 4 ¼” x 6”. NOTE: if you cut the DSP at 6”, then turn and cut at 4 ¼” for both pieces you will only need the one piece of DSP.
3) With the larger two pieces of DSP, layer the larger piece of chipboard in the center of the back side and adhere with strong adhesive – either liquid glue or tear and tape. Add tear and tape to the 4 outer edges, and adhere 3 of the edges to the chipboard, leaving one long side undone as this will be used to assemble the box. If the Tear and Tape does not cover the entire ‘flap’, you may choose to add a line of liquid adhesive to the flap before adhering to the inside of the chipboard.
4) For the side pieces, add tear and tape to the inside of the short flaps, adhering only one to the chipboard. Add tear and tape to the outside of the longer edges – these will be used to assemble the box.
5) To assemble the box, begin with the front (back), stand up so that the flap is laying on your work surface, attach the base to the front flap. When you lay the front down you should have a slight gap between the front and the base – this ensures you can fold the pieces up when the box is complete. Repeat for the back (front).
6) To assemble the side pieces, stand up the side on the flap and adhere the base. Attach both sides before going to the next step.
7) To attach the sides to the box, remove the tear and tape backing, adhering the side flaps to the inside of the front and back pieces. When attaching all of the pieces, be sure to align the edges, and be sure to leave a small gap between all of the pieces for easier assembly.
8) The box is now complete and ready for any embellishment.
