Supplies:
Metal ruler
¼” or 1/8” Hole punch
Stylus or bone folder
Cardstock 4” X 8”
Stamps & ink pads of your choice 20” of ribbon of your choice Pencil
Instructions:
1. Stamp/decorate cardstock. Cut cardstock to 4” x 8”
2. Score at 4” (on the 8” side)
3. On the 4” side, lightly make a pencil mark at 2” (do this on both 4” sides)
4. Score a line from the 2” mark to the first scored line.
5. Repeat this three more times around the sheet of cardstock.
You now have a piece
of cardstock that is scored in a “diamond” shape.
6. Fold each score
line and crease with a bone folder.
7. With a 1/4” or 1/8” hole punch, punch a hole in each corner.
8. Thread a ribbon
through each hole; pull the ribbon. Tie ribbon in a bow.
The cardstock has been
turned into a beautiful triangle box!!
Note: Change box size by altering the cardstock size. Rule of thumb is: make the
width half the dimension as the length! Bonus Idea: Use these triangle boxes as
a one-of-a-kind holiday tree decoration!! Take it a step
further and add a gift inside!
