Mini Box (Created with the Petal Card Double Punch)

Here is a little idea for a cute stocking stuffer, birthday present, tooth fairy box, or gift box.

Take four punched pieces using the Petal Card Double Punch, and glue each of the side flaps together. The side flaps should be folded toward the interior of the box. (If you prefer the inside of the box to be as flat as possible, you may want to snip off one petal flap from each punched piece and glue side flaps to interior sides of the box.)

To close the bottom of the mini box, fold each consecutive petal flap down, tucking part of the last flap beneath the first to hold it in place. Repeat this to close the top of the box. (You can also glue the bottom flaps, if you like.)

The finished box will be approximately 1" length x 1" width x 1" height. You can fit a bracelet, necklace, earrings, simply adorned creation, a Hershey's "hug" and "kiss", a tooth for the tooth fairy, a folded dollar bill, tiny candies, a mini book, a keychain, a magnet, a rolled up message, or anything small that you can think of!

This box was made with riding hood red, daffodil delight and whisper white cardstock, Greenhouse Gala designer series paper, Cute by the Inch hostess stamp set, riding hood red, old olive and early espresso markers, beautiful wings embosslits die and basic pearl. A lady at Convention 2010 swapped a simply adorned insert for one of my 3D items and I thought it would be great to use the same color scheme for this box.

The more punched petal cards you adhere together, the larger the box can become. My next project may be a flower-shaped box created with the punch. Stay tuned!
