Instructions

1.  The first step is to start with two equal hexagons of cardstock. You can opt to use dies or create your own using a compass and ruler.

To create your own with a compass, as I have done, please refer to this LINK for a demonstration. It’s easy and you can customize the size of your final box. Create two -OR- make one, cut and trace for the second hexagon.

2.  Score your hexagons using your Scor-Pal scoring board and Scor-Tool. The first should be scored 0.25″ from each edge and the other 0.38″ from the edge.
3.  Fold along all the score lines and snip to remove the corners. Add Scor-tape alone the edges.
4.  Cut a hole in the center of each of the hexagons.
5.  Trim cardstock to the length required for your Hexagons. The dimensions are as follows:

TOP:
Width = 2.5″
Length = (the length of one side of the hexagon x 6) + 0.25″

BOTTOM:
Width = 2.25″
Length = (the length of one side of the hexagon x 6) + 0.25″

Take into consideration the “loss” at each score. You may want to trim a longer piece of cardstock that is needed and score each of the box sides, one at a time. Make a mark or number the first 2 sides so you can match your custom scores.

The added 0.25″ will be used to close the side of the box and will have Scor-tape alone the edge.

Score the cardstock for the box sides using your Scor-Pal scoring board and Scor-Tool.

6.  Remove the Scor-tape liner and adhere the box sides, one edge at a time until complete.
7.  Now it is time to create a unique closure that will pull this project together.
Thread a button with May Arts cord and pull the cord ends through the bottom of the box – through the hole we punched earlier.
8.  Thread the cord through the top of the box and out of the hole on top. Add a button. Tie off the cord, leaving about 2.5 – 3″ of excess so you can open the box. Test the length before securing a knot.

REMEMBER: The top button must move freely in order for the box to open.

9.  Complete your project with paper roses, ribbon and lace.
