Lidded Pyramid Box Using In the Pines Stamp Set

 

It's almost Christmas, so time for my final Christmas table favour of the series! This time I've taken inspiration from a very similar origami box I've seen, but this one doesn't use origami! 

It's a 2 part box - a small sloping sided box to put some goodies in, and a pyramid lid. I designed the box & then realised that it was the perfect size for the larger tree from the In the Pines stamps, so I've stamped & heat embossed one on each side. 

If you prefer, you could make it out of DSP, as it just takes 2 pieces of 6" x 6" paper. I've also made some from the lovely Feels Like Frost papers, although in the example below, I used more strands of ribbon!

Hope you like it!

Instructions:

Base

6”x 6” paper

On all 4 sides, Score @  7/8”, 1 3/4” & mark @ 2 1/2”, 3 1/2”

Score lines from each corner of the centre square to each of the 2 closest marks. as in 1st diagram below  

Remove sections as in 2nd diagram.

Adhere tabs, noting that the slides should slope in.

Fold over & adhere 2 adjacent flaps

Position approx 15-18” twine or ribbon so that the centre is between the 2 flaps that haven’t been glued down.

Fold over & adhere the flaps so that ribbon is held under the flaps, with the loose ends coming out of 2 opposite corners. 

LID

Score on wrong side @ 3”. Turn 90° & repeat.

Turn to right side & mark @ 1 3/4”, 4 1/4” on all 4 sides

Score across the corners from mark to mark as in 1st diagram.  

Now score lines across from each end of each of those score lines to the opposite end of the score line diagonally opposite, as in the 2nd diagram.

Assemble as instructed in the video. 

Christmas table favour #5 Pyramid Box Using Feels Like Frost DSP

This fun little box is the latest in my series of Christmas table favours and is about the right size for a chocolate!

I got the idea from a similar shaped box I saw that Mitosu Crafts had made, although they made theirs in a different way from mine!

For this one, I've used the Beautiful Feels Like Frost paper, and a piece of our Whisper White crinkled seam binding ribbon.

Hope you like it
