Great Last Minute Gift Idea

 Hi Crafters

Today I have one of the quickest boxes to make, and an idea to use it to make a great last minute gift or super gift for a work colleague or Teacher.

For this project you will need 2 pieces of 12 x 12 card

Ribbon

4 medium size Scented T Lights

Take one sheet of the 12 x 12 and score 4" and 8" on both sides so you have 9 squares. Now score from each corner to the corner of the centre square.Cut the corners on the diagonal As below 

With the 2nd sheet we are going to make a lid to fit, as this base is 4" we need a square of card that is 81/4" square. Score at 1" and 2" all the way around and cut the ends top and bottom for a standard lid. If you are not familiar with this please see the example below. Cut the shaded areas off and put small V notches into the edges of the folds.

Burnish all your score lines. Fold in the sides and glue down the glue the top and bottom flaps on the outside of the card and the top and bottom seams on the inside of the card. Fold the flaps in and the top over and glue down. The same for the bottom section 

Using a hot glue gum glue the base of the metal T Lights to a section of the base, and add a message to the centre panel. 

Wait for the glue to set really well before folding up and placing the lid on top. Decorate the with the ribbon and add your tag.
