DIRECTIONS:
- Glue the base paper inside on the bottom using the Tombow glue. For the sides, one piece of 12"x 12" paper won't cover from the base inside up to the top edge of the inside of the box, so you'll have to choose how you want to finish the sides. The inside bottom edges can be covered with yarn or trim.
- To create a paper border around the bottom, use your X-Acto knife on the backside of the paper to make a score line 1" in on the side. Fold this paper on the score line to make a clean fold. Glue this in the box with the fold in the seam to help make a frame look on the bottom inside of the box. Do this for all 4 sides. Where the paper ends, which is about 3" from the top, cover that edge with the Washi tape or trim. Leave the rest of the natural craft paper of the box exposed.
- Cut your verbiage and images from the white cardstock and glue onto the red flaps.
- Cut paper details by hand or use the Cricut machine. Glue shapes to the paper bottom using the Tombow glue.
- Use a hot glue gun to apply trim and yarn details.
- Cut letters from the Cricut Vinyl using a Cricut Machine or use letter stickers to add text to the box.
