A small favour box
2/3 sheet of Love Notes Laguna Paper. (click here)
Natural Flaxcord. (click here)
Double Sided Tape. (click here)
Paper Trimmer
INSTRUCTIONS
FAVOUR BOXIf you're any good at wrapping presents, this one if for you!
- Firstly, you will need to assemble and fill your box ready to be wrapped.
- Cut a piece of Laguna Love Notes paper twice the width of your box.
- Place your paper face down on a flat surface and put your box (face down) in the centre.
- Stick double sided tape on the far end of the paper. Pull the end nearest you up to the centre of the box and hold in place. Pick up the end with the double sided tape and pull over the top, sticking in to place. You should end up with a glued join in the centre of your box at the bottom.
- Turn your box around so that it is facing up. Pull one of the open ends to face you.
- Push up the bottom of the loose paper so that it touches the side of the box, folding in to place as you go.
- Pull both sides in to the center, again folding in to place as you go.
- You should now have a sort of pointed flap at the top end. You can run double sided tape along this and press it down in to place.
- Repeat this on the other open side.
- Cut two long lengths of fine jute string and hold them together.
- Starting about 20cm from the end of the string (you will need to leave this loose to finish the bow at the end), wrap it around and around your box at least 5 times. When you are happy, pass your loose end underneath and around the string at the top of the box. Wrap your loose end in the opposite direction so that between the two ends, you have secured the string together. Tie a knot and make a bow, cutting off any loose ends.
