Christmas Kleenex Box

Supplies:

Cube box of tissue

2 -  pieces of card stock the same color (bottom)

2 – pieces of Christmas Designer Paper

1 -  piece of different color card stock

Scoring tool

Adhesive

Scissors

Ink

Stamps

Die cuts

Embossing Folders (Christmas or Winter)

Bone Folder

Paper Trimmer

Pencil (not pictured)

Big Shot (not pictured)

Embellishments (not pictured)

Step One:

Cut your two pieces of card stock for your base 5 1/8 x 9 ½. Be sure to save your scraps to use later.  (you may want to verify the measurements of your box of Kleenex)

Step Two:

Put your two pieces of card stock horizontally on your scoring tool and scor at ½” and 5”.  (you may want to verify the measurements of your box of Kleenex)

Step Three:

Fold your card stock on the score lines and then attach the two pieces together. This will create the bottom of your box.

 Step Four: 

Take your second colored card stock and cut it 6 9/16 x 6 9/16. This should be a perfect square. Keep your scraps from this card stock for later.

Step Five:

Score your square piece of card stock 1” on all the sides. This will give you squares in all four corners.

Step Six:

Cut one side of each corner down to the score line, see below.

Step Seven:

Fold your score lines and tabs up like the picture.

Step Eight:

Trace an oval shape from one of your Nestibilities onto the center of the square card stock that is your top.

Step Nine:

Attach all the tabs together to make the top of your box.

Step Ten:

Put adhesive on the inside of the cover and attach it to the bottom. Red tacky tape works well here but regular adhesive is fine too. 

Step Eleven:

Cut a piece of 4 ¼ x 4 ¼  from your scrap card stock from the top.

Step Twelve:

Take a die cut of your choice and cut an opening in your square piece smaller than the one on your top.

Step Thirteen:

Take your designer paper and cut two pieces 4 ¼ x 4 and adhere to two sides of your bottom.

Step Fourteen:

Take an embossing folder (Christmas or Winter) and emboss the top piece of the card stock then attach to the lid.

Step Fifteen:

Take two pieces of your base card stock and 2 pieces of your designer paper and cut them 4 ½ x ¾.

Step Sixteen:

Emboss the two sold colored card stock pieces then adhere them to the top alternating the designer paper.

 Step Seventeen: (optional)

Take your sponge and chalk and color the embossed image.

Step Eighteen:

Cut 2 pieces of white cardstock 4 ¼ x 4 to stamp your image and/or sentiment

Step Nineteen:

Decorate according to your liking and attach to your box.

Step Twenty:

Finish your box with embellishments of your choice then put over your box of Kleenex. I used die cuts for the sled and the snowflake.
