Project Recipe:

1. Cut:
   * one 8 1/4 by 8 1/4 piece of Basic Black card
   * two 5 1/2 by 5 1/2 pieces of Basic Black card and
   * three 2 58 by 2 5/8 pieces of Botanical Gardens DSP
2. Take the large Basic Black card square and score at 2 3/4 and 5 1/2.
   Turn the card 90 degrees and repeat the scorelines.
   Take a bone folder and burnish the scorelines.
3. Cut each of the four sides as shown in the sketched outline below ….
   Use tear and tape adhesive or other strong adhesive to assemble the gift box base.
4. Take the two 5 1/2 by 5 1/2 Basic Black card pieces and score at 2 3/4 twice to create four segments.
   Take a bone folder and burnish the scorelines.
   Trim three sides back and score the fourth, as shown below – image with DSP triangles.
5. Cut along one the bottom right hand crease line, as shown in the same image.
6. Take the three square DSP pieces and cut in half diagonally. Adhere three of the DSP triangles to each of the black winged bases, as shown before.
7. Use a strong adhesive, such as Tombow, to secure the triangle without DSP to create the hinged top piece, see the pencil instruction in the last image.
8. Using a strong adhesive, attach the winged top pieces to the gift box base.
9. Attach the ribbon securely to the base of the gift box and secure under the flowers.
   [An optional 2 1/2 by 2 1/2 piece of basic black card can be adhered to the base of the gift box to ensure a very secure attachment of the ribbon.]
10. Using scraps of the coloured card stock, found in the supplies list, to stamp, cut and sponge the leaves and flowers illustrated.
    Adhere securely with glue dots and/or adhesive.
    Attach basic black candy dots and white perfect accents to the centres of the flowers.
11. Using the Botanical Gardens Designer Washi Tape cover the edges of the winged hinge and trim.
