Thursday’s Tip: How to Make Your Own Custom-Sized Boxes

By | 27 October 2016

Being able to make your own custom-sized  box is a great skill to know.  It would make gift giving even more special for a birthday or Christmas.

Check out this video from Donna Griffiths, a Stampin’ Up! trainer.

First she shows how to make the box from a piece of 12″ x 12″ cardstock.  Check the video for the tip on how to make the lid fit perfectly!

She  also shares a tip on how to use the Fast Fuse Adhesive.  This is at seven minutes into the video clip!

Then at nine and a half minutes, she explain how to make your own custom-sized box.

 

Here are a few photos with measurements from the video on how to make the red and white box.

The box on the left with the red base is the one that Donna shows you how to make in the video, before she tells you how to make a custom-sized box.
