Instructions:
- For the box lid: Cut a 4 7/8" square of the burgundy/stripes border paper with the border along the upper edge. Ink the edges. Cut out the “Merry Christmas” border, then cut a 4 7/8" length of it, positioning the greeting in the center. Glue to the burgundy piece just below the border, leaving the area near the left end unglued.
- Cut out the “rejoice” paper art and mat on green cardstock with 1/32" borders. Use the knife to cut the center dotted line, creating a clip. Attach it to the border at the upper left and glue. Insert a brad near each end of the border as shown. Glue the constructed lid to the box lid.
- Place a 2½", 2", and 1¾" Dazzles™ tree on green textured paper. Cut around the outer edge, then glue them to the lid as shown. Bend the tree sections upward, adding dimension.
- For the sides and bottom: Cut four 5"x½" burgundy/green stripes and ink all the edges. Glue one piece to each box side. Cut a 5" square of burgundy textured paper, ink the edges, and glue to the box bottom. Fold all the score lines and construct the box. Add tissue paper and a gift card or small gift to the box, then close the lid.
