November Scor-Pal Project

 

This month, I have a 6 Sided Box to show you. I am getting an early start on my Christmas boxes this year! Here are the supplies you need to create this box.

Supplies:

Scor-Pal

Scor-Tape

TheStacker

Cardstock: 8 1/2” x 9 3/4”

Patterned paper: 6 pieces – 1 5/16” x 5 5/16” (You can also cut them to 1 1/4” x 5 1/4”)

2” Circle punch (optional)

Ribbon to decorate

Step 1:

With the 9 3/4” side of the cardstock at the top of your Scor-Pal, score at 1 1/2”, 3”, 4 1/2”, 6”,       7 1/2” and 9”.

Turn the cardstock 90 degrees and score at 1 1/2” and 7”.

Step 2:

With the long edge at the top, cut along the score lines from the bottom up to the horizontal score line. Repeat along the top edge. Trim off the top and bottom sections in the 3/4” flap.

To make the top and bottom flaps fit better when folded, measure 1/2” from each cut line along the bottom and cut off a triangle on each tab. Repeat for the top edge. You will end up with the following shape.

Step 3:

Crease along all the score lines. Add Scor-Tape along the long tab on the right, and on the top and bottom tabs as shown in the picture.

Step 4:

Add Scor-Tape to the patterned pieces and tape them to the cardstock.

Step 5:

Remove the liner from the tape on the right side tab and attach it to the inside of the left hand side to make a cylinder shape.

Step 6:

Fold in the tabs on the bottom, starting with the tab to the left of the tab without any tape. Remove the tape liner as you go and attach each tab to the one below it.

If desired, punch a 2” circle from the patterned paper or cardstock and tape it to the bottom.

  

       

Step 7:

Place the item you are gifting inside the box and then fasten the top in the same manner as the bottom.

Decorate with ribbon and a bow, if desired.
