My friend, Wendy shared this cute graduation hat box that a friend had shared with her, with me. Sharing is so much fun!
With all the graduations in my life this year I just loved this little box. It was simple to make and the perfect box to hold a little something for a graduate in your life.
To create the box, cut black or any color cardstock into 2 pieces 5 1/2 x 8 1/2, lay these cardstock pieces onto the petal cone die so that the rounded edges of the die are covered by cardstock, the pieces will not fit the whole die but that does not matter it is just the top part of the die you want. (cutting one layer at a time is best because of the score lines on this die) After cutting box pieces, you want to score below the petal cone score lines one inch. Now, glue the box flaps to each other and fold on score lines. Tuck the petal or round piece together and then glue the opposite ends together. You will now cut a 3 x 6 piece of black cardstock and fold it in half and glue over the back part of the box. And white cardstock that was cut using the petal cone die and loosen the fibers with a bone folder, attach this piece to the top of the card with a antique brad. Add 2 3/4" pieces of white cardstock to the inside of the card to cover the back of the brad and so you can write a simple message of congrats.
