Hello everyone! Welcome to DAY 13 of the annual La - La Land Crafts 14 Days of Christmas!
Sandra here with you today to share a tutorial with you!
Today's tutorial is: STAR FOLDED GIFT BOX
I want to show you a gorgeous star folded gift box you can perfectly use for wrapping up some of your Christmas gifts
COPIC COLORS:
Snowman - BG0000, 10, 70
MATERIALS NEEDED:
White cardstock:
(2) 8 1/4" x 5 3/4"
Score on 5 3/4 side at 2 1/2 and 5
Score on 8 1/4 side at 2, 4, 6, and 8
see direction below for other scoring
(2) 2 1/4 circles
scraps for dies
Home For Christmas Paper Pack:
(8) 2 1/4 " x 1 3/4" - Red ginger bread pattern
(8) 2 1/4 " x 1 3/4" Red snowflake patter
~ now for the tutorial you have been waiting for ~
This is a sketch you can use as an overview
Score on the long side at 2" / 4" / 6" / 8"
Turn paper and score on the short side at 2 1/2" and 5"
Score a diagonal line as shown above
Score another diagonal line as shown
Score a straight line from the top of your cardstock to the point where the other 2 scored lines you did before cross
Cut the cardstock at the bottom and cut off the marked paper as shown in the pic
It should look like this
Fold all straight scored lines
Fold all diagonal scored lines
Fold the straight line above the 2 diagonal folds, it should look like a roof with an antenna
Do all the steps for the remaining 8 1/4" x 5 3/4" piece of cardstock again
You´ll have 2 identical pieces of folded cardstock now
Glue the flaps of one piece of cardstock and stick it to the second piece of cardstock
After that it looks like this
Now it is time to add the design paper
Cut 8 pieces in 2 1/4 " x 1 3/4" and glue them to your box
Cut again 8 pieces in 2 1/4" x 1 3/4" from your Design Paper
Draw diagonal lines on the back of the paper pieces as shown in the pic
You'll get 4 pieces out of 1
You need 8 small triangles and 16 larger triangles
Glue them to the box
Put glue to the remaining flap of your box and close it by putting one side above the other side
Your box will look like that
Top of the box
Bottom of your box
You need to punch holes in the top flaps of your box so you can pull some ribbon to close it through
Punch a hole in the middle of your flap as shown in the pic
I use my Crop - a - dile to punch all holes
Now it is time to add a bottom (inside/outside) to your box.
Diecut 2 circles.
Glue one to the bottom (outside) of your box
And the second to the bottom of the inside of your box
Pull ribbon of your choice through the punched holes, tighten the ribbon and close your box
This is the tag I added to my box
If you like add some embellishments or just a ribbon bow for decoration to your box and you`re done!
