Valentine Boxes




At last a new up date. I've been busy making birthday and valentine cards. The last couple day's I've been busy making candy boxes for our Feb. chick meeting. Thanks to paperpiecingpatty for giving me the directions. I made three different sizes. Three were made with 6x6 card stock. (made for our little biddies that sometimes make a crop) All of the chicks well be receiving the ones that I made from 9x9 card stock. I made one from 12 x 12 card stock for a door prize. Directions: Cut card stock 9" X 9". Fold and score at 3" and again at 6". It should look like three equal columns.Turn paper fold and score again at 3"and again at 6". Now you should have 9 equal squares. Fold each corner in half from point to point. While you have the corner folded in half go ahead and punch a hole just below point, for lacing you ribbon. Fold all four corner toward the center. Lace your ribbon through and tie. You now have a box. Embellish the four side. I used stamps, stickers, brads, printed paper& inked the edges etc. Anythings goes! Have fun ! SUGAH
