Countdown to Christmas - Day 15 - Santa Wind Up Toy Box

Hey y'all, welcome back!! Today's project is one of those boxes that pop open when you remove the lid. I took the original idea from Sam Hammonds and altered the measurements so it would be big enough for my santa wind up toy.

You will need the following supplies:

Three pieces of card stock that measure:
7 1/2 x 8/ 1/4 (for the box)

4 3/4 x 4 (for the lid)

2 1/4 x 6 1/2 (for the insert)

Several pieces of DSP of your choice. I used presents and pinecones in my project.

4 pieces measuring 3/4 x 2 5/8

2 pieces measuring 3/4 x 1 7/8

3 pieces measuring 2 5/8 x 1 7/8

2 pieces measuring 2 5/8 x 2 5/8


On the insert, score on the 6 1/2 at 1 7/8, 2 7/8, 4 3/4 and 5 3/4

On the lid, score at 1 on all 4 sides

On the box, score on the 8 1/4 at 2 3/4 and 5 1/2

on the 7 1/2 side, score at 2 3/4 and 4 3/4

You will need to watch the video to see the assembly of the box since I did not take any photos of the scoring and assembling of the box.
