Apple Box Tutorial

Hello! As promised, I am back with a quick picture tutorial on how to create the little apple treat box. It's easy! Let's go--

What you will need (what I used in parenthesis):
Patterned paper of your choice (Little Yellow Bicycle "Head of the Class")
Scoring device (Scor-Pal)
Double sided tape (Scor-Tape)
foam tape (Scotch)
scissors (Tim Holtz)
Optional--
Accessories to decorate it. (SRM stickers, Cricut cartridge-Plantin Schoolbook, Twinery ribbon-Cappuccino)
Step 1: Start with a piece of patterned paper that is 6" by 6" and score at the 2" and 4" marks. Turn paper once and score again at same measurements:

Your paper should look like this:

Step 2: Cut the flaps on opposite sides like shown. Note- You should be making four cuts, that's it!

Step 3: Apply double sided tape to the flaps as shown:

Step 4: Remove adhesive liner and fold up one side to adhere over the middle section and press:

Step 5: Do the same with the other side:

Step 6: Repeat on the other side so that you end up with this:

Step 7: Cut a strip for the handle whatever thickness you would like. I made mine .5":

Step 8: Apply double stick tape to the ends of the handle and adhere to the inside of box:

The box is finished. Decorate as you wish! I am including the directions to decorate it with the same design I posted on Monday for those who asked for it.

Using the Plantin Schoolbook cartridge (Cricut), I cut two apple designs (3") and one shadow for the apple. I used the red for the top part on this example, stitching it over the blue base. I used a chipboard pencil (Little Yellow Bicycle) and added an SRM sticker "thanks" over it.

I tied the pencil to the apple using some Twinery ribbon (Cappuccino).

I used some foam mounting tape to attach the apple to the front of the box and then I used some dimensional stickers (Little Yellow Bicycle) to place over the handle edges:

Here is the finished product:

Hope this explained it!
