Paper Cubes

If you just happened to visit my blog and want to start at the beginning of the hop, go to Kristen's blog  http://fantabulouslypink.blogspot.com/

My project for the Fall Blog hop is a set of decorative, paper cubes that spell F*A*L*L.

They are super easy to make and can be changed to fit any theme or decor. I used Design Studio and George and Basic Shapes cart to create the cube. (Then, I was looking for a cut on the Tags, Bags, Boxes and More cart and saw a square box there that would probably work too.)  File available at the end of this post.


Once you cut the box, it will look like this:

Then I take scissors and clip the corners of the tabs that will go inside the box. I find it's easier to hand snip them than to make sure small triangles line up on those edges in Design Studio and then you have to peel those small pieces off the mat!

And, then your box looks like this:

The file has scorelines, so fold those to make it easier to place the background paper. Apply adhesive to the side tab and join it to the opposite side of the box.

Close your box and decorate. If you are going to fill the box, glue the bottom so it will stay closed. Otherwise, leave it unglued and you can store your box flat until next use.

I think I will make a set that spells Merry Christmas. What will your cubes spell? Become a follower of my blog and leave a comment on this post for a chance to win the Christmas Cards Seasonal cart! I"ll randomly pick a winner on Wed, September 7.
