I have a Christmas Craft Fayre at the end of November so I have a production line in motion making various items for this. I have been using up my stash, mixing retired and new Stampin’ Up! products to create products. Where retired items have been used, the product can be recreated using current stock. Over the coming weeks I will share what has been created.
One of the events I attended over the last 12 months I received a pocket tissue box as a swap and thought it would make a good stocking filler, unfortunately I do not know who created this so I cannot give any credit. I have taken this item apart and recreated my version together with packaging. Inside the packet of tissues are still in their wrapper, the idea being the recipient can remove the wrapper and put the tissues inside the box for easy removal.
You can recreate this item using current DSP yourself, the products needed is cardstock, DSP of you choice, nook and loop fastener or magnets.
- Cardstock for the box – size 7.75 inches x 6.25 inches; scored on long side at 2.25, 3.25. 5.5 and 6.5 inches, scored on short side at 1, and 5.25 inches; 2 pieces of 3/4″ circle punch
- DSP for the box – required 2 pieces of 4 inches x 2 inches, 1 piece 4 inches x 1 inch and 1 piece 4 inches x 0.75 inch
- 2 hook and loops
Putting the box together
- After scoring and burnishing, round the corners of the front flap of the cardstock and the DSP
- Cut, mitre and remove sections as per diagram
- Adhere the DSP in place to the font, flap and top
- Using liquid glue, place glue on back side panels and stick the flap to it, then adhere and front side panels to the back side panels (the bottom flaps are stuck between the front and back side panels in order that the tissues can be removed without catching on the flap)
- Round the two circles using your scoring tool, so they are raised to look like buttons, on the back put a dimensional on the back of each circle; stick these to the front flap and place the hook and loops lining up with the circles
- Your box is now complete
Hope you enjoy making your version and thank you for looking.
