Treat Box / Print Art Embroidery Project

Gather all supplies and review instructions before beginning.

Bring into your word program by inserting the Merry Christmas Wreath Print Art .
Resize to 3.5” x 3.5”. Keep in mind treat box lid will measure 4.5” x 4.5” when complete. Print using your solid color cardstock.

Decide which two patterned cardstock sheets you want to use for the box lid and box bottom. Trim the box bottom cardstock to 11 3/8” x 11 3/8”. 

Place your cardstock sheet pattern down as this side you will want for the outside of the box. Fold in half  diagonally. Open it back up and fold it again diagonally. Your creases will form an “X” .

Keeping pattern side down. Fold each corner into the center of the creased “X”. 

Fold in two opposite sides to form a rectangle. Fold in to the center the two opposite ends which will now form a square. ( You will notice a different patterned cardstock was used for picture)

Undo the top and bottom folds and flaps. Refer to picture. Fold in point A to B and point C to B. Pinch the corners so that the fold goes inwards and the two edges of the box meet up. ( refer to pic) fold over the top flap to secure in place. Repeat for the other side.

Secure the flaps in place with a piece of tape. Repeat for the other sheet of cardstock. You now have a box lid and box bottom. 

Cut from your 3rd sheet of coordinating cardstock  a 3 ¾” x 3 ¾” square. Trim your printed print art to fit within that square. Center atop and glue in place. Center on top of box lid and glue in place.

Wrap ribbon around the box and tie in a bow. And you are done! Greatjob! Now that you’ve got the folding pattern down….you can make additional boxes for any occasion.
