FLIP-TOP CHRISTMAS GIF BOX

 


Hello, fellow crafters

Christmas time is a time when we give gifts of love - small or large - it is all about the loving thoughts.

This cute flip-top box is perfect for gifts that are not too large, for example, hand lotion, hand soap, silk scarf, chocolates or even home-made cookies.

I used the beautiful Fabscraps C134 Christmas kisses paper pack. the poinsettias were heat-embossed, using the Fabscraps poinsettia stamp set - one of my all-time favourite poinsettia stamps.

The box has a flip-top lid.

The completed box is 15 x 15 x 5 cm

STEPS

1. Cut and score two pieces of smooth 240gsm cardstock as follows. The dotted lines indicate score lines.

 

Adhere the two pieces of cardstock to each other on the sides of the box, by overlapping the right-hand side of the smaller piece and the left-hand side of the larger piece.


1. Round the corners of the flip lid.

Cut 2 pieces of red cardstock 14,5 x 14,5 cm and 4 pieces of 4,5 x 14,5 cm.

Cut 2 pieces of printed paper 14 x 14cm and 4 pieces of 4 x 114cm

Adhere red cardstock and printed paper panels to the box, as shown in the pictures.




Assemble the sides and bottom of the box.

NOTE: You can use a ribbon to tie around the box. Make a tag from printed paper and embellish.

Happy crafting, until next time!
