Tutorial: BOO! Boxes

This is a tutorial for the BOO! boxes that are part of the Halloween Soiree kit at SVG Attic.  They are also available in the Silhouette store at these numbers:  32809, 32808, 32807, 32806.  The tutorial below is for the second "O" which is #32807.

These are the box pieces.  I cut them out of patterned cardstock.  These are the pieces you receive if you purchase the boxes through the Silhouette store.  There is an accent letter piece that is included in the SVG Attic version of these boxes, but it is not pictured above.  I cut the accent letter piece out of black glitter paper.  Tip:  The black glitter cardstock I used was from DCWV's Glitzy Glitter 12x12 paper stack.  It cut perfectly with my Cameo and the glitter didn't flake off.

First bend all of the perforated score lines away from you.

Next add liquid adhesive on the bottom flap of the box front.

Adhere it to the other box piece at the end without the curve cut out.

Apply liquid adhesive to the flaps on the first side, one flap at a time.

Press each flap firmly against the side of the box.

Continue with the second flap

and adhere this is what the first side looks like when adhered together.

Flip the box over to the opposite side and add liquid adhesive to both of the flaps.

Press the box side onto the flaps lining up the edges.

This is a side view of what your box should look like now.  Make sure the side flaps of the box are bent inward

and close the lid.  This is what the side/rear view of the box will look like.

This is the front view with a battery operated tea light inside.

Finally add the decorative letter piece to the front lining it up with the letter on the box base.

Here is a look at all four of the completed BOO! boxes.

I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!
