TUTORIAL FOR 3x3 BOX



Here is the tutorial I promised! Sorry it took me so long!
Cut your cardstock for the BOX at 4 3/4" x 7 1/4" Score at 3/4" and 4" going lengthwise and 3 1/4" and 4" in the other direction. (See photograph)
Cut slits on the side portion of the box that folds in.

Cut the cardstock for your LID at 5 1/2" x 3"
Then score lengthwise on the 3 inch side - at 1/2", 1", 2" and 2 1/2". Turn and score in the other direction at 1/2", 1" 4 1/2" and 5".
Trim each side as shown on the right hand side of the photograph.

It will look like this when you are done trimming the sides.
Fold inward on each scored line on the long side. Adhere with Red Sticky Tape.


Sorry for the crumpled cardstock now. This is thanks to my little helpers! :)
Once the sides are folded inward - fold ends inward too. Adhere with Red Sticky Tape.




This is what the lid will look like completed.






Please let me know if this is helpful! Thank you for stopping by and have a FABULOUS evening!
Happy Stamping!
