Tea Bag Boxes – A Stamping Journey

I have a sweet little Daisy Box for you for Wednesday’s WOW! #73. You could use this to gift Tea Bags or some small chocolates. I have the Tutorial below.

It doesn’t take long at all to make. I used the Magnolia Lane Designer Series Paper for the strip around it. The daisies were stamped from the Daisy Lane set and punched with the Daisy Punch and the Medium Daisy Punch. I did 2 of each and layered them together. The leaves were punched with the Leaf Punch. If you check the leaves closer I scored along the centre and then curled them up a little. This gives them a little dimension.

Here is how to make your Box.

Tea Bag Box

NB: Measurements are in both Metric and Imperial. (apologies in advance for the 16th” measures).

Cut card to 19cm x 14cm (7 1/2″ x 5 1/2″).

Score card at 8cm and 11cm on the 19cm side . (On the 7 1/2″ side score at 3 1/8″ and 4 5/16″)

Score card at 3cm and 11cm on the 14cm side. (On the 5 1/2″ side score at 1 3/16″ and 4 5/16)

Cut Designer Series Paper piece at 6cm x 28cm (2 3/8″ x 11″).

To assemble the box. Fold and score on all the lines. Cut up on the small score lines on the long sides of the card. See below.

Assemble the box by firstly adding adhesive to the 2 small tabs placing it on the outside of the tab. Fold up and bring one of the side panels over to adhere on to the tab. Do this on both sides of the box. Add adhesive along the outside of this long tab and then adhere the other long tab down on to this. This forms your box.

Place adhesive, (I use Tombow Multipurpose Adhesive) along the back of the paper strip and wrap around the box and adhere down. Decorate as you like.

Hopefully that makes sense. I was a little time pressed today to get the full photos together. If you need more information, drop me a comment and if you would like a video then let me know.

Enjoy making the box.
