Round boxes (as seen on Webinar 28th August 2012)

Here is a quick and easy way to put together a Round

box.

Make the Cut pattern HERE

LETS BEGIN

When designing it I put the base to the right and the lid to the 

left . To make the base I take the top side pannel on the 

right of the mat and the very right circle

Fold the tabs in at the score line and with your fingers 

give the side some shape

Now glue and the end tab (when making lesson I did not 

allow mine to dry before letting go )

Now put glue aroung the Edge of the circle piece

And place it face down in your side of the box 

(protect your work surface with some

 backing paper of something (I didn't) )

now push around the edge with your finger 

all way round

Turn it upside down

Now add the second circle to the right of the mat to the 

bottom of that

And you have your base of your box made

You are left with these on your mat

take the side strip and right circle

and fold the tabs and shape the side with your fingers

join side into a circle

drop the circle with glue all around edge in face down

push down well

turn over and get the last circle of mat

And add to the bottom of base

Finished your BOX

Lid fits well

Adding a bigger base to box you now have a 

hat shaped box

add ribbon and bow

Oh and this idea can be not only for round boxes 

but can be oval boxes as well

You can make the wall of the lid  shorter if you like too
