instructions

 

Using the Creative by Nature Naxi 12" x 12" Milled Mulberry Paper together with the pencil and ruler, measure and mark for the side of the box 31 cm x 8 cm (this will allow for an overlap of paper for finishing off).

Following the manufacturers instructions, use the Prym Art knife and ruler to carefully cut out the paper. Using the PVA glue, stick paper to box. Leave to dry.

Cut the Creative by Nature Yellow Mulberry Paper Ribbon to 7.5 cm x 7.5 cm for the top of the lid, and 4 cm x 32 cm for the side of the lid (this will allow for an overlap for finishing off). Using the PVA glue, stick the ribbon to the top of the lid and the side of the lid. Leave to dry.

Using the PVA glue, stick in place the six Creative by Nature Blue Banyan Tree Leaves to the lid of the box. Leave to dry.

Using the PVA glue, stick in place two of the Creative by Nature Blue Stars Mulberry Paper Die-Cuts on the centre of the box lid at different angles over the six Creative by Nature Blue Banyan Tree Leaves. Leave to dry.

Make a small hole in the centre of the box lid big enough for the wire stem of the Coats Crafts UK 'Creative by Nature' Sunflower Yellow 3D Mulberry Paper Embellishment.

Using the wire stem of the Creative by Nature Sunflower Yellow 3D Mulberry Paper Embellishment, push through the hole in the box lid from the right side and sellotape 2 cm of wire to the inside of the box lid. Position the Creative by Nature Sunflower Yellow 3D Mulberry Paper Embellishment in place on the top of the box lid.
