"Ultimate" Box Tutorial

After posting the "Ultimate" Card Gift Set, I received many requests for the template and/or tutorial of the mini boxes that I made in that set. I wrote to some of you that I would eventually post a tutorial -- well I finally had a little bit of time this morning, so here it is. It's very easy, really, it is!

If you are not able to see the dimensions in this picture, here they are:

Cut a piece of card stock 4-1/2" x 4-1/2" for the bottom box and score every 1-1/2" across, horizontally and vertically as shown in the diagram. Cut where indicated on solid lines.

For the top of the box, cut a piece of card stock 2-5/8" x 2-5/8" and score every 1/2" in from all four sides as shown in the diagram. Cut where indicated on the solid lines. Note: no matter what your box measurement is, the top cover should always be about 1/8th" larger than the bottom to accommodate a better fit.

After gluing the side flaps together, you're done! See how easy that was? Here is a picture of one of the boxes I made for the "Ultimate" Card Gift Set. You can choose any color you want for the box and decorate it simply or elaborately.

If any of you decide to make this project, I would love to see what you come up with, so please email me a picture and maybe if I get enough pictures, I can post them right here!

Thanks for stopping by!
