Instructions:
1) Stamp and emboss angel on left most panel of box. (Don't worry
- it's supposed to overlap on to the 2nd panel.) Repeat again
on the 3rd panel.
2) Stamp and emboss "PEACE" at an angle in the space
remaining on the 2nd and 4th panels.
3) Use scissors or exacto to cut out box template. Follow all
solid lines around outside edges only. Cut on the 3 solid lines
along the bottom to create the bottom flaps of the box. Cut the
solid line on each star where indicated to create the interlocking
slits of the box closure.
4) Use embossing pen to color in the stars and emboss with gold
powder.
5) Use bone folder or blunt knife to score along all dotted lines.
6) Color all panels of the box, including the top flaps, with
colored pencils.
7) This step is optional. Use Crystal Lacquer on both angels
and allow to dry. Use lacquer on the background panels and top
flaps. Allow to dry completely.
8) Carefully fold along scored lines.
9) Apply glue to the tab on the end of the 4th panel. Align edges
of 1st panel and tab of 4th panel to meet and hold secure for
glue to set. Allow to dry.
10) Fold in 2 of the bottom flaps of box to meet horizontally
and apply glue where they overlap.
11) Fold in remaining 2 bottom flaps of box and secure with glue
to complete bottom of box. Allow to dry.
12) Fill your gift box. Fold in plain panels first then interlock
the slits on the star panels to close creating a 3-dimensional
star box top closure.
