Tea Box Instructions

Here's the basic instructions for the Tea Box from yesterday's blog made by Heather Klump

You will need -

1 piece of cardstock 8 1/2  x 12”

Score l2” side at 3, 5 3/4, 8 3/4, and 11 1/2

Score 8 1/2 side at 3” 
( you will also need to score the last 2 sections at 4” see picture below)


1 piece of cardstock 4”x 3 5/8”
Score at 1/2 all around

3 Window Frame die cuts
(Sample shows the 4” size frame)

1 piece of cardstock 3 1/4 x 3 1/4

3 Window Frame die cuts

(Sample shows the 4 5/8 size frame for the bottom of the box)


1 piece of cardstock 3 1/2 x 3 1/2

　

Starting with the 8 ½ x 12” piece score the long side at 3. 5 ¾, 8 ¾, 11 ½. Turn your paper ½ turn and score the 8 ½” side at 3 inches. While your paper is turned score the last 2 sections at 4”. ( this is the section that will dispense your tea)

 Cut up to the score line on the 1^st and 3^rd sections of the box, and the 4” score line on the last 2 sections. Leave tabs on the 1^st and 3^rd sections.

 

 Construct the box as shown.

 

 

 

To make the lid, take the 4” x 3 5/8” piece of stock and score it at ½” all the way around. Cut up to the score line to form tabs and adhere tabs with sticky strip or glue dots. This lid will fit inside the box. Adhere all 3 die cut window frames together using tombo multi glue. Let dry. Attach window frame to 3 ¼ x 3 ¼ piece of cardstock. Attach to the lid. Repeat steps using the 4 5/8” size frames and the 3 1/2" x 3 1/2" piece of cardstock. Adhere to the bottom of the box.

Embellish with your choice of DSP and ribbons.

 

Now all we need are the crumpets!!
