Create your own photo Box

Okay, if anyone tries let me know, I thought this was cute Begin with an 11" x 6" pice of chipboard. On each of the 6" sides make a score line 2 2/2'" from the edge, fold along scores. The 6" middle section will become the bottom of your box. Create two 6" x 6" base pages layouts and attach each to the 6" x 6" piece of chipboard. Adhere each finished piece to a 2 1/2" flaps, creating the fromt and vack of your photo box. To form the accordion sides use the scoring blade on your Trimmer to score two 6" x 12" pieces of White Daisy cardstock in 1" intervals. Folds forward and backward on score line 9similar to a paer fan) Attach to accordian to the back of each layout, securing the botoom with hot glue. add extra touches T embellish the sides of your box, add 6" and 1" strips of sanded cardstock to the accordion folds and craft buttons in between. Choose colors that compliment your papers,, of course. Tie it up. Add textures by introducing stitching along the edges as seen in the photo, along the edges. Create evenly spaced holes using the piercing tool and stitch with the string with the string included with metal rimmed tags. Decorate as you want All photos are from the close to my heart keynotes Volume 4/issue 4 copyright 2006.
