1. Cut cardstock to 10-1/2″ by 7″.
2. Score the long side a 3/4″, 4″, 6-1/2″, and 9-3/4″.
3. Score the short size at 3″ and 4″. Score at 2-1/2″ down to the second horizontal score line; score at 4-1/2″ down to the second horizontal score line. Turn cardstock 180 degrees and score at 2-1/2″ and 4-1/2″.
4. Mark 5-1/4″ inches on the long side. Use a ruler to draw a diagonal line to the score line. (See pattern)
5. Cut the tabs for the box as shown.
6. Cut the box sides and tree shape as shown.
7. Cut the other four corners of the pattern, so that you have just the box parts remaining. Save the larger pieces of cardstock for a later step.
10. Fold the other side of the box in to form the tree. Punch a hold in the flaps at the top of the tree. This will be where you insert the ribbon hanger.
Kathy I absolutely love these boxes!! The wonky stitched pieces add great texture and give a kind of industrial or steampunk feel — totaling appealing!!
