I know so many of my posts these days are Silhouette tutorials. I hope that they are so helpful for those of you that are "making" with your machines.
This cute little box is created with an "envelope" folding flap. Here's how to put it together.
1. Cut out the silhouette files. The main body of the box I cut out in white and the flap in kraft paper. The accent papers are in pink.
2.This box is double enforced—that is, I created it so that the sides of the box are stronger by doubling up the paper. So you have to fold all the score lines on the box and then glue down the extra flaps. Do this to all four flaps.
3. Then put glue on the glue flaps and attach the sides of the box together to finish the box.
4. To create the flap, glue down the accent pieces to the main flap. Be sure to match up the small, half circle notches on the accent paper and the flap.
5. Fold the flap around the box and attach using the notch. You can use a clear sticker or use the notch to hold the flap together.
And that's it! There so many uses for this cute box from favor boxes, small gifts, or even as a card.
Happy creating!
