Tiny Triangle Box

Create a small box for tiny treats out of one square piece of cardstock.

Supplies

Step-by-Step

1. Step 1

   With a pencil, lightly mark the 3" center point of two opposing sides on the 6" x 6" square.

   

2. Step 2

   Score 2" from the edge on all four sides.

   

3. Step 3

   Diagonally score the outer corners: place the scoring tool at the intersection of the two lines and gently move the paper until the tool slips into a groove. Align the corner vertically with the tool and score. Repeat for the other three outer corners.

   

4. Step 4

   Repeat the same process, this time scoring from the intersecting lines to the mark you made at the center. This creates the center portions of the "W" or "M" diagonal folds that will form the box sides.

6. Step 5

   When you're finished, your scores should look like this:

   

7. From the inside, all of the diagonal folds will be "mountain" folds and the vertical and horizontal folds will be “valley” folds.
   
   With the diagonal scores on the sides, the unscored sections top-to-bottom and the inside of the box facing up, gently lift the sides and arrange the folds to nestle together.

   

8. Step 6

   Score flap at 2 1/8". Adhere inside back of flap to outside back of box. (Distress all edges first, if desired).

   

9. Attach magnets or velcro to inside of flap and outside of box front to keep box securely closed. Additional adhesive may be necessary to hold the magnets in place.

   

10. Step 7

    Stamp and color focal image. Trim to 1 5/8" square; outline along edges with multiliner, distress if desired, and adhere to mat. Adhere mat to box front. Embellish as you wish.
