Instructions
Step 1: Stamping the Bon-bon box
- With a stamp of your choice and a black inkpad, stamp images over the whole surface of the (30.5 cm X 30.5 cm) yellow cardstock.
- Line the outer edges of the cardsock with a black koki.
- Cut a square from the yellow cardstock about 9cm X 9cm to form the tag for quilling background.
- Stamp the tag once and line the edge with Koki
Step 2: Scoring
- Score all four sides of the card on the Trifold A4 line on the Crafters Companion and burnish.
- Lining the corners up with any line on the scoreboard, score the diagonal lines from each corner up to where the centre section of the box starts.
- Fold the box: The diagonal lines towards the inside, you will see your box take shape.
Step 3: Quilling flowers
- Insert the red quilling paper strip (Length approx 10cm) into the slot of the quilling tool.
- Wind the paper strip around the quilling tool to form a tight coil.
- Slip the strip from the tool, release it to let it expand. When you are satisfied with the size, secure the end of the strip with glue.
- Repeat the process to make 5 red ones to form the petals of your flower and 2 green ones for the leaves.
- Make one yellow coil but keep it in a tight coil to form the centre of the flower.
- To create the buds, repeat the process above but use a shorter paper strip about 5cm.
- Make only one red and two green ones.
- With a scissor, cut each in half lengthwise. You now have 2 red ones and 4 green ones.
- Cutting will shape the coil to make the buds appear more delicate than the flower.
- Arrange the coils for the flower between your fingers into an ‘eye’ shape.
- Glue it onto the stamped background of the tag.
Step 4: Decorate the box
- Attach the tag to the box with foam (3D) tape
- Punch holes close to the edge on the diagonal folds.
- Thread ribbon through the punched holes and tie a bow
