Tutorial for Yesterday's Gift Box

Hi, a few people were asking bout how to make this gift box so I have done a quick tutorial. I have never done it before and and it is not very good, but at least it will give you an idea of how to make the box. My blog friend Elaine, and also Rita, told me that it is actually called a Gable Treat Box - I guess because it resembles the gable end  of the roof. Thanks so much. I checked out the internet and found a couple of You Tube videos and also a tutorial on Split Coast Stampers which were different sizes to mine so here is the link to SCS  http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/resources/tutorials/gablebox/  

Instructions

 All you need is one piece of A4 card stock,  some means of scoring it, double sided tape, ribbon and embellishments. As you can see I used  my Hougie because this is in centimetres.  I much prefer my Martha Stewart Score Board but it is in inches.

Along the long edge score at 7cms, 14 cms, 21 cms and 28 cm
Turn the card and score at 7cms and 14 cms.

Cut away the outer two flaps on the 28 cm score line.
Cut along each of the score lines on the long edges to the next score line.
Use corner rounder to shape the corners of the top flaps

It's easier to decorate the sides while it is still flat - although this one is extremely simple. I just die cut some Spellbinders Lacy Circles and added some flowers so that I could get this done quickly.

Add double sided tape to the tab and stick it together. This just shows how it fits together. You can then fasten the base flaps together  with wet glue or double sided tape.

Fold two of the top flaps in and punch two holes in the remaining top flaps and thread some ribbon in to fasten it together.

Well that's my tutorial finished. I only hope it makes sense to you!! You can fit three or four Cadbury's cream eggs in, or quite a few choccies, and I think it would probably fit a cupcake too.

I like this so much that I might use it for my table gifts next Christmas. Nothing  like thinking ahead!! Although there is  plenty of time to find something else!

Have fun! Love and hugs from Christine xx

PS Note for Desiree - hope this works out okay for your Brownies Pack to make!!
