Howdy Jader-roo’s! I hope you enjoy this craft because I think this will save you lot’s and lot’s of MOOLAHHH!! These boxes are so pretty, but they take some patience to create.
I will explain the directions I used and I will also put at the bottom the way to do it if you DON’T have a Martha Stewart scoring board. (which btw is a MUST if you love to craft). I swear, I didn’t realize how much I “needed” one of these babies until I got one!
All you will need is a scoring board, paper trimmer, double stick tape and lot’s of love! If you don’t have a scoring board you can follow these directions.
OH! Here is my friend FIGGY! He made a video on how to make this. Sometimes two is better than one! Figgy works for Martha and he is something else ((all good though))
I start off with a 7 x 7 sheet of paper.
As you can see on the scoring board they have a “cheat sheet” for you to follow! Lemme tell you this baby is handy!
After you score you paper to the correct measurements they you will fold the middle flap down like so…
Next you will take your double stick tape and start folding the outside flaps inward. Kinda like we did when we made the envelopes!
Tadahhhhh!!! It’s my very own gift box! I am so excited that for Christmas I can use paper I already have and make boxes with my own two hands! {{I wish I had 8 hands}}
