Crafter's Corner High back box (October 20, 2011)
This has been designed for the Hougie board - so if you use a score-pal or score with a trimmer you will have to experiment
This project makes a high back box from one sheet of A4 card
so pick a pretty colour A4 sheet and - -
|
|
Put the long side to the edge of the board and score at 6.5cm and 14.5cm |
|
|
Turn top to left - and score -
- solid lines at 17cm and 23.5cm
- just the side columns at 15cm and 25cm - these will make the tabs to secure the box - so leave the centre plain.
If you do the long lines first - you can see where the short lines will go |
|
|
Cut out all the shaded areas |
|
|
You will have something like this |
|
|
Crease on all the lines.
Now you can see how your box will fit together - secure the tabs under the front |
|
|
To make the back detail - mark 1cm in on the bottom of the long back panel |
|
|
Line up your mark along one of the grooves to the crease at the top of the panel - and score |
l
 |
You can either trim off this section |
|
|
- or you can fold it back to get 'wings' at the front |
|
|
|
|
|
TIP - I drew down one of the channels with a permanent marker - so I can see very easily if I have lined up the points I want to score along the same channel |
