Christmas Lantern Tutorial

I was LIVE on Heartfelt Creations today with EZ alternative ways
to use the Gift of Love Box Die! Here is one of them
and a step by step tutorial for you. Watch me LIVE HERE

Also see how I make these beautiful poinsettia flowers!

As soon as I saw this die I just knew I had to make a Christmas Lantern!

Here I show you how to make it with 4 sides, but check out my live

as I have a larger one that I made as well!

Directions:

Step 1: Using black card die cut four of the box sides.

Step 2: Die cut the centre piece on all four sides and then fold along all

of the score lines and adhere the sides together. 

TIP: Glue the square part first and then the top pieces, it goes together easily.

Step 3: Adhere the base together.

Step 4: Using 3D silver stamp paint apply to the box to create

a metallic look. Apply from the left to right along each section using 

a motion sweeping across the box. Cut a strip of card 7 1/2" x 3/4" and

use the stamp paint on this also. This is the handle.

Using brads and a hole punch attach the handle to the box.

Step 5: Using Dries White glue and Frosting Powder create a snowy effect

over the box and handle and leave to dry.

Step 6: Decorate with the Sparkling Poinsettia flowers and add

a battery candle inside.

Happy Crafting everyone!
