What do you think? Likey? I finally found a away to create this cute little surprise box to send to your beloved father this Father’s Day! Dads deserve something special too (and crafty)! hehe.
I decided to make this one to reveal the sentiment “Happy Father’s Day” but you can always replace it with anything you like (a gift card would work too, who says dads don’t like shopping?!). ***wink wink***
Or maybe…just maybe…use it as a regular gift box! Wa-la…now it becomes a double opening gift box!
Step 1: Download cut file and using your cutting machine, cut the image. Following two pictures are what you should get.
Step 2: Take the A cut-out from above and fold along dotted lines (as shown below) and glue B behind the circle opening on A.
Step 3: Glue C1 to the inner left and C2 to the inner right of the box (with the dotted section close to the outer edge).
Step 4: Glue result from Step 2 to the center of the box base. Insert both flaps (C1 and C2) into the center piece (right behind the circle opening)
Step 5: Fold the base to form a box and glue all connecting flaps.
Step 6: Pick a photograph, use a circle die or fussy cut the circle (the size of the circle above), then adhere the cut out picture to behind the circle.
I love the box, but since I don't have an electronic die cutter, I can't reproduce it. Any chance you could add the dimensions, so that I can use my score board to recreate it? Thanks!
Totally awesome, Alexia! LOVE the fun use of circles! HUGS! 🙂 Mynn xx
