Today’s project is a cute little cube box. It’s 2 3/4″ so perfect for a small treat or two. It would also be a cute last minute Valentine’s Day gift with the beautiful Marbled Elegance DSP that I just can’t get enough of.
Easy Cube Box – Top View
How It’s Made:
Paper with cutting measurement: Boho Blue CS 8 ½ X 11 short side at top-score 2 3/4, 5 ½, 8 ¼, cut the remaining ¼” off. Turn score 2 ¾, 5 ½, 8 ¼, remove ¼” from end, Thoughtful Journey DSP – Cut (6) 2 5/8 X 2 5/8 and (1) 2 3/8 X 2 3/8. Five squares will be used for the outside and inside under flap, one square will be cut to form your triangles, and the smaller piece will be used for the top of box.
Instructions:
Cut and Score
1. Score card stock using the above measurements. Next, fold and crease with Bone Folder. Cut the top (8 ½) two corners at a diagonal by lining up the score line, hold in place and move paper so the outer tip is in the trimmer track. Cut. This will be cutting the piece off into a triangle. Discard and repeat on the opposite top corner. Turn paper so the 11” side is at the top.
2. On the 11” side cut from top to first score line, move trimmer to bottom and cut up to score line. Repeat this for each section.
Assemble
3. Before adding adhesive fold your score lines to create your box. Add adhesive to the middle outside flaps. (see pic 3) Fold toward front to form the box. Add adhesive to the bottom flaps and fold up towards the center. This will keep your box with clean lines with the folds in the front and ends of cardstock facing back of box. (Look at picture 4 and see where I did this backwards).
Decorate
4. Attach your four DSP squares to the outside of your box using your liquid glue.
5. Cut one of the 2 5/8 squares from tip to tip to form a triangle. Add your triangle pieces to the top flaps using your adhesive.
6. On the last 2 5/8 square add a piece of Tear & Tape to the side that will be glued to the inside under the top of box. Next, take a piece of ribbon and adhere one end to the side with the Tear & Tape. Add additional adhesive and attach to inside underneath the top flap. This should leave you with a strip of ribbon sticking out from your DSP.
7. Create a loop upwards, which will be outside of the lid and add to top of outside box using Tear & Tape. This will be the leaver to open the box. Cover with the last piece of DSP.
8. Stamp sentiment in Mossy Meadow and stamp on Basic White CS and fussy cut. Wrap the Linen Thread around three fingers, twist and attach to back of sentiment with three Dimensionals.
9. Close and your box is now finished!
10. Open and fill with goodies, candy, jewelry or anything else that fits.
