Artiste One Piece Box

Are you ready for an awesome one piece self closing box?  Check this out!





















This cool box is made using one sheet of double sided Flirty paper, and the G key on the Artiste Cartridge! Look at all the fun things you can make on this key found on page 55 of the handbook. Once I decided on the box, I easily found how to put it together on page 33 in the assembly instruction booklet.




















I cut out the paper at 3 1/2 inches, and here is how it comes out.
















This is what it looks like when folded. The only tape that is added is on the side tabs.  I used two strips of  red tacky double sided tape to make sure it had a strong hold.

 Once it is taped together, you can see how the top folds into a lid for the box!  I inked the edges of the box with the new Enchantment Mini Pigment Pads in Ruby and Goldrush.





















This is what it looks like with the lid pushed down and closed.





















Here is a view from the top with it open.  Pretty cool, huh?!




















Then I added some of our new Rosette Ribbon and a beautiful resin pin from the Autumn Lane Assortment.

It can still easily open and close!





















The box measures 3 1/2" tall when closed, and has plenty of room inside to put a nice little gift or some candy!  I hope this inspires you to make a box yourself.  The Artiste cartridge really makes it super easy!

If you don't have this cartridge yet, you can securely purchase the collection here on our blog by clicking on the BUY NOW button in the sidebar.  Please leave a comment to let me know what you think about this box, and if there are any particular types of projects you would like to see on this blog. :)


Happy Crafting!
