Supplies:
Cardstock of Choice and/or Designer Paper

Transparency
Die Cut (in this case Spellbinder's Nestabilities)
Scor-Tape
Exacto knife
Ribbon
Large Brads

Step 1:
Cut base cardstock 8 1/2 x 9. Along the 9" side
score at 2" and 7". Along the 8 1/2" side score at
2".
*** You will need 2 pieces cut and scored - one
being the back of the box and the other being the
front***
Step 2: Cut along the bottom to create
your bottom folds (on both pieces)
Step 3: Glue the bottom flaps down. This
is the back half of the box. I didn't decorate
this section at all as nothing will be
showing except the back and I just left that
white.

Step 4: Cut a piece of designer paper that measures 6 1/4" x 4 3/4". This will leave you a slight border around
the paper.
Place this piece of paper on your die cut machine and then center your die cut where you want your window.
Step 5: Now place your designer paper with
the cut out window over the front of the front
half of the box. Center the next size smaller die
in the cut window.
***Fold the side flaps under so the whole thing
will fit through the machine. It won't matter
because you will have more designer paper on
the sides***
Step 6: Turn the front 1/2 of the box to the
inside and attach a piece of transparency to
the inside of the box.

Step 7: Glue the bottom flaps together and then slide the back half
into the front half and glue bottom and sides together.
*** this example does not have the window cut out***
Step 8: Cut a piece of cardstock 7 1/8" x 4 1/8" for the lid.
Score 1" on all 4 sides and cut on score marks on 2 opposite
sides.
Step 9: Cut designer paper to fit the top (4 7/8"
x 1 7/8"), front (4 7/8" x 7/8"), and the sides
(1 7/8" x 7/8")
Glue flaps on inside.

Step 10: Flip top over and cut a slit in the center of the lid. This
is where the ribbon will be inserted.
Step 11: Fold
ribbon in 1/2
and insert the
folded section
through the
slit and adjust
to desired
loop length.
Use the tails that are hanging on the inside to loosely tie the hanger from the ornament. It will stay in place
perfectly because the ornament weighs nothing.
Here is another picture of the box with top and ornament.
Handle for box:
4

Strip of cardstock 1" x 12"
Designer Paper 3/4" x 12"
Round the ends with a corner rounder.
Punch a hole in each handle. Mark
the placement on the sides of the
box. Make sure that placement is
done with the lid on. Mark with
some sort of marker.
You can use a paper piercer, but
be careful. Use a Cropadile Big
Bite because all the hand held
ones do not go deep enough.
Attach with large brads.
