New Year resolutions – Tutorial

I want to share with you a project I did for the Jewish New Year back in September. I always decide a lot of things in the beginning of the year, but then they seem to fade as time goes by. So this year I decided to keep all my resolutions close to me, so I will be reminded of them all the time.
























































Here is how you do it:

1. You take an empty gum box and cover it with paper. Don't cover all of it with one piece of paper, because it will be very hard to fold. Measure the different sections of the box and cover them with separate pieces. Make sure to leave the folds uncovered.

2. To cover the wavy front trace the line with a pencil and cut accordingly.

3. Make a cut on the front of the box so it will be possible to close it by tucking the flap in it.

4. Cut as many pieces of cardstock to fit inside the box. Write your resolutions on them and embellish.

Now you have your resolution box and no excuses!

Have a happy, prosperous New Year!!

  7. Clemencia,
    The edges were inked with distress ink to achieve the brown color.
