Berry Boxes

 

Inspiration?
The Stampin' Up ceramic berry box.

 

Measurements


 

Choose your cardstock and cut two pieces each of the following measurements:

 

9cm x 21cm

1.5cm x 21cm

 

On the two 9cm x 21cm pieces, score along the 21cm length at:

6.5cm and 14.5cm

 

 

On the two 1.5cm x 21cm pieces score along the 21cm length at:

10cm and 20cm

 

 

On the two 9cm x 21cm pieces mark in 0.5cm in at the score lines.

Along the 21cm lengths draw a line from one corner to the

first 0.5cm mark then to the second 0.5cm mark and then to the

last corner. Cut out along lines and discard.

 

 

If you want the cut-outs on the Berry Boxes I am hoping the pictures and measurements below

are self explanatory. If you plan on making a few of the boxes I suggest making one template

in chipboard that you can just draw around. I have also used the Stampin' Up word window

punch as a template for the cut outs. My preference for cutting is the SU snips but you may find it better to use a crafts Knife?

 

 

 

Once you have done the cut-outs attach as below with tape or glue.

 

 

 

The two 1.5cm x 21cm strips once bent at right angles along the score lines

have two sides measuring 10cm and a 1cm tab.

Glue or tape the tabs and join as below to form a square.

Tape or glue the square strip to the top of the box.

 

 

 

 

If you don't want the cut-outs why not use embossing folders to add the

interest?

I have used the SU Woodgrain Embossing Folder for a rustic looking box

and also the wonderful new

Beautifully Baroque Embossing Folder, so pretty.

 

 

 

 

I have made this post in response to requests from fellow crafters

who wanted to have a go at making some berry boxes for themselves.

So I hope this has been helpful, Angie. x
