Box Drawer Card Tutorial

This is a cute little Box Drawer Card that I made in my last demos. It is so simple to make, just a few score lines and some double sided tape. Its a fab project for using your leftover paper and embellishments. The cutting, scoring and folding of this box can take about 10 minutes, fantastic for a quick little project. You can put anything from Jewelery to sweets in this. LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

DRAWER HOLDER 

(all measurements for this tutorial are in Inches)

Drawer holder: Cut a piece of card to * 3” x 12”

Score  card at  3”, 4”, 7”, 8”, and 11”. 

Cover with your paper or stamp now. Place sticky tape on the small flap.

Fold flap over into a square and stick with double sided tape. (see photo)

DRAWER

 Drawer: Cut a piece of card to * 4 ⁷/₈" x 4 ⁷/₈"

Take the card and score it 1" from each edge. 

On two opposite ends, cut the scored line up to where the scores join. Fold all the joins inwards in valley folds.

Turn card over and put double sided tape on the 4 flaps you have just created

Working corner by corner, take off the double sided tape and join all flaps into the side of the drawer as shown in the photo. Your drawer should now look like the photo below.

I decorated the front of the drawer with a semi circle of paper.

Pierce a hole in the center of the drawer front and add a brad to act as a drawer handle.

I add the brad quite loosely so there is a little bit of space between it and the drawer as it just makes it much easier to open the drawer

Place the drawer inside its card pocket. Voila, you card box is made.
