Take the small 1 ½” pieces on all four side and fold them - corner to corner on the diagonal. This part is what makes the box fold up.

Use DSP and cut size to 3 ¾” x 9 ½”

Score at 1 ½”, 4”, 5 ½” and 8 1/16”

Make a slit in the bottom lip of box in center for closure.

Cut a half circle in box lip in centered for slide into slit made for bottom lip.

Punch out Decorative Label Punch in Real Red

Punch out Oval in Whisper White

Stamp the greeting from “Bells & Boughs” on oval.

Adhere oval to Decorative Label piece and use Dimensionals to place on outside of box.

Take ribbon for bow and tie around top part of box.

For inside piece fold all score lines inward, then starting with the front lip of box adhere the part that’s folded into and angle but only adhere the outside triangle part not the whole thing. Do this on all four sides. Place down even with lip and make sure to adhere the middle piece down before doing the back piece. Now add your own touches and enjoy. All Done!
