Supplies

Step-by-Step

1. Step 1

   Cut cardstock to 8 1/2" x 9.
   
   With the 8 1/2" side at the top, score at 2”, 4”, 6” and 8”.
   
   Turn and place the 9” side at the top. Score at 1”, 3”, 6 1/2" and 8 1/2".
   
   Rotate the paper again so the 8 1/2" side is at the top, and score at 5 1/2" from the top to the 1” line, and from the 6 1/2" line to the bottom.
   

   

2. Step 2

   Trim away all the sections marked with a red X in the photo. Reinforce all score lines.

   

3. The cut piece should look like this.

   

4. Step 3

   Fold the bottom up, and insert the 1 3/4"circle punch in the center of the third panel. Punch out about half of the circle.

   

5. Step 4

   On each side of the half circle on the score line, cut up about 3/4".

   

6. Step 5

   To assemble the box, first apply liquid glue on the middle flap only. Fold the other side over onto the top of the flap.

   

7. Step 6

   Adhere the 2 side flaps at the bottom, and then the third one with the extra flap. Slide the side flap in the slits on each side of the half circle. Trim up as needed to accommodate the flaps.

   

8. Step 7

   Insert the 1/2” circle punch at the top of the center panel and punch out about half of the circle.
