  1. Trace the lid top on the back of the pink/blue dot paper and cut out just outside the traced line. Glue to the top of the lid. Cut 5/8”x12” strips of dot paper and glue around the edge of the lid. If the 12” strips are too short, fill the gap with a partial strip. Apply brown ink to the edges of the lid.
  2. Apply glue stick to one side of the lace and adhere to the top edge of the lid with the ends meeting at the top of the heart.
  3. Embellishing Great Big Brads: Turn the Great Big Brad over and carefully spread the prongs to each side (if you move them too quickly they can break). Use a pen to mark the positions of the holes on the brad surface. Use the Crop-A-Dile to punch 1/8” holes over the surface of the brad. Insert mini brads into the holes and secure to the back of the Great Big Brad. Refold the Great Big Brad prongs.
  4. Secure the embellished Great Big Brad through layered flowers and glue to the heart lid. Slip a tag under the Great Big Brad and glue.
  5. Box bottom: Cut a strip of dot paper to fit around the sides of the box and ink the bottom edge brown. Use the Crop-A-Dial to punch four evenly spaced holes on each side of the heart.
  6. Punch a single 1/8” wide hole at the center of each of the green, pink and brown Great Big Brads. Secure a standard brad, in a different color, to the brad. Replace Great Big Brad prongs and secure to them box through the holes.
