Hi! In this tutorial we'll make this cute strawberry shaped box.
You can use as a party favour box, for example.
First: download the pattern and cut it out.
For the leaf I used green cardstock.
For the strawberry I used a scrapbooking paper.
Cut out the papers.
Now we'll make the crease.
Use a crochet needle and ruler.
You don't need to push it too hard.
Just enough to make the crease.
Be careful to not tear the paper.
Then just fold, carefully.
On the little tab add a strip of double sided tape.
You can also use glue.
Now: punch the holes.
I use this screw hole punch.
It makes holes on about 5 sheets of paper at one push.
But you can use any paper punch or even a needle.
Stick the tab on the other side, as shown.
At this point, fill the box with anything you want!
To close, I use this string (found at a jewelry store).
Pull the string through the holes, this way.
Pull it carefully and tie a knot.
Then pull the string through the hole on the leaf.
Tie a bow. And it's done!
