Quick 3 by 3 Box Tutorial

Hello! I decided to add this tutorial today, since I am sure I will be wanting to share a new project with you tomorrow. I made a new box so that I could show you how easy this box is to create.

Step 1: Cut a 7 1/2 inch square and score at 2 inches on all sides.



Step 2: Cut sections out from each corner to create tabs. Don't you love how funky the color came out? LOL!


Step:3 Add paper if desired. Cut pieces of sticky strip and add where shown. I also used some Tombow on the rest of the section which can be seen in the next photo.


Step 4: Fold tabs in and secure. Repeat until all sides have been folded.



Step 5: For the lid, cut a 5 5/8 inch square and score at 1 inch on all sides. Repeat steps for base to finish the lid.




Decorate and embellish as desired!!





I think I will be filling this box with candy instead of 3 by 3 cards, although coordinating cards would be fun to make! I hope this tutorial will help you! I really enjoy making 3-D projects!!!
Stay posted for BLOG CANDY this week!
