You've made your fabulous wallet.
Now you might want to make a pretty gift box for it.
Using the directions that follow, you will be scoring a scrapbook size piece of cardstock. Then trimming, folding, and securing with glue or tape. |
Using your scoring tool, firmly press along edge of the ruler making sure that the ruler does not move. |
Now, carefully slide your ruler over to the right 3-5/8" from the imaginary center line. Score. Now repeat these same 2 scores on the opposite side. Turn your cardstock 90 degrees to do the wider scores. Place the edge of your ruler 4-1/8" from the center. Score Move ruler to the right 5-5/8" from the center line. Score Repeat these 2 scores on the other side. |
I have penciled in where my scores are so you can see better About the center of each of your 4 sides, you will notice 2 little triangles. |
With a small pair of scissors, cut out the 2 triangles on all 4 sides. 8 triangles in total.. |
To the flaps: On the short ends, cut in from one of the triangles to the score mark. Do this on both short ends. |
Carefully, crease all your folds. |
Fold up each short end and you will put a bit of glue on each flap. Then fold up the other sides and clip or hold until the glue dries. |
I am holding the flap for 10-15 second while the glue takes. Do this for all 4 flaps. (or better yet, use double sided tape) |
I had not glued all 4 flaps in this picture, but please imagine that they are glued. Fold the top of the box in place. You will notice it's a tad bit longer that it needs to be. |
With a small pair of scissors, round or square off all four corners about a half an inch. |
-------------------------------------------------------
You can orient your box like this by securing two small bottom tabs and securing the lower flap to the sides. |
You can orient your gift box like this by securing all 4 small tabs. |
