Hi there Ribbons Unlimited friends. Today I’d like to share a project
that can easily be mass produced and could hold your favorite Holiday handmade
gift or like me, just fill it up with candy and you are good to go.
Instructions:
1. Using a full 12x12 sheet of paper, Score at 1”, 4”, 8” and 11”. Turn
the paper 90 degrees and repeat the scoring process. Fold on the scored marks.
2. Cut at the 4” and 8” marks leaving a 4” square box in the center. If
you desire, you can cut away 2x4” on each corner of the template. I did this
for the first one to trim down the excess paper and the layers of paper won’t
be too bulky but I found that it lost some important structure so I opted not
to trim the corners on the second box.
Punch out a border on each edge of the box. Grabbing the two 2x4”
pieces towards the center, adhere them together and then adhere one side of the
box over them. Fold the edge over the front.
3. To reinforce the structure of the first box, I adhered a strip of
the red checkered ribbon around the box.
4. Adhere the ends over each other using some glue dots.
5. Punch out a hole on two adjacent sides of the box. Adhere the
checkered ribbon over the gold trim.
6. Thread
both ribbons through your holes, and adhere the ends inside the box using some
tape.
7. Create two bows from the gold ribbon and adhere on the sides of the
box, covering the holes you’ve created for the handle.
8. Add a sentiment block using paper and stickers. Repeat the process
for how many boxes you need to make.
Here’s some more close ups…
Thank you for joining me today and I hope this helped you find ways to
incorporate your ribbons and papercrafting supplies in your gift giving this
season.
Happy
Creating,
Grace
