Today I am hosting Tutorial Monday over at Digital Delights To make my cute little box just follow these easy directions! I used Graphic 45 Oriental Cardstock. It took about a half a sheet of 12x12 cardstock. I put tea bags in mine, but candy also makes a nice treat and Giradelli Chocolates fit in perfectly! I colored and shaded my flower image with Tim Heltz Distressed Markers. Super Easy and loads of fun!
one 31/2" x 7 3/4" piece of cardstock
one 6 1/2" x 7" piece of cardstock (coordinating)
Martha Stewart or any other scoring tool
Strong adhesive tape or glue (I use fabric tac by Beacon)
25 " piece of ribbon
1 1/4 circle or tag punch
Stamps (I used Flower Set by Digital Delights)
Additional cardstock and embellishements to decorate the front.
Step by Step
Step one:
Place 3 1/2 x 7 3/4" piece of cardstock in your scorer.
Score at 3 1/2"
Step two:
Score at 4 1/4
Step three:
Prefold both score lines.
Step four:
Line the 6 1/2" side of the coordinating cardstock piece up with the top of the scorer
Score at 1/2"
Step five:
Score same coordinating cardstock at 3 1/2"
Step six:
Prefold your score lines. Apply fabric tac (glue) or strong tape to inside of 1/2" strip
Step seven:
Fold over top flap (with glue) and adhere to folded edge
Step eight:
Score sleeve at 3 5/8"
Step nine:
Turn sleeve 180 degrees, score again at 3 5/8"
Step ten:
Prefold fold lines
Step eleven:
Slide your cardstock partially into the 1 1/4" punch. Center and punch
This will make it easier to take the tea\bag or candy out of the holder later.
Punch both ends of cardstock sleeve
Step twelve:
Glue edge of cardstock sleeve
Step thirteen:
Glue edge down to outside coordinating piece(piece that was finished first and set aside)
Insert tea bags or Giradelli chocolates
Step fourteen:
Glue down ribbon on edge of cover
Step fifteen:
Decorate the front as desired and tie ribbon
Just beautiful Denise!
