Step-by-Step How-to’s

Step 1

Score sheet of cardstock on the short side at 2 1/2" and 6".

Step 2

Turn sheet of cardstock and score the long side at 4 1/2" and 6 1/2".

Step 3

Prefold along score lines several times both ways, or step four will be difficult.

Step 4

Bring horizontal fold to vertical fold to create a diagonal crease.

Step 5

Use a bone folder to really make the diagonal folds "sharp" and easier to fold the sheet into a box.

Step 6

Repeat steps four and five on the three remaining corners.

Step 7

Stamp your cardstock. Here, only the front, back and short middle sides were stamped. The other parts of the cardstock will be folded in not seen.

Step 8

Prefold the box by bringing the diagonal folds towards the box center.

Step 9

Stamp center image and accent.

Step 10

Adhere center image and accent to box front.

Step 11

Prefold the box by bringing the diagonal folds towards the box center.

Step 12

Punch two snall holes in the back center of the top of the box

Step 13

Thread ribbon through both holes.

 

Never leave your chocolate at Doggy Sniff level!


Step 14

Tie the ribbon in front and the box is complete.
