Dreamy Dragonfly Kit with Step by Step DecoupageCompleted by Sheila Lewis

Using three A4 cards in Turquoise. Cut each one to make a 21cm x 21cm square.

Fold all three in half horizontally and then verically then fold each square diagonally from top left to bottom right.

Fold each square in on itself to create a 10.5cm square.

Open up all three squares and place them in front of you with the two scored quarters at top and bottom with points facing up.

place the third square between them with the two scored quarters at top and bottom, but with the points facing down.

attach the centre square to the other two with double sided tape attaching the two small squares left and right on top of the two other squares.

Fold all three inwards to create a 10.5cm square.

Cut two 12.5cm squares from turquoise card and decorate the outside with silver Mirri board as if backing a book, then using the backing papers cover one of the ends and add a topper to embellish this will be the front of the card that shows when you first open the box.

Attach the front and back to the rest of the cards by using double sided tape and placing them central onto the two outer squares, making sure the front is the correct way up.

Open out the cocertina card and ready to decorate the 12 triangles and 4 squares.

I used silver mirri board to layer onto 6 triangles cutting 1cm smaller than each triangle and i alternated them with 6 pieces of the backing papers cut the same as the mirri board.I cut 4 squares again 1cm smaller than the actual squares alternating the colours and papers to give a good effect.

I decoupaged different ellements and added some of the toppers making sure that each triangle and square had its own topper or embellishment i also used some heart gems to finish off and some of the paper ribbons in the kit.

To make the box i used box board. Cut one 19.5cm square for the base and one 19.7cm square for the lid.

Score 3cm in from each edge on lid and base, you will have 4 small squares in each corner cut each in half diagonally and remove the triangle.

Fold all edges and crease with a bone shaper to give a sharp edge and fold over each triangle so that it can be glued with pva glue to the inside edge of the box, while the glue dries use a paperclip to hold each corner together.

Decorate the top of the box by cutting four purple pieces of paper into 4cm squares and five blue pieces of paper into 4cm squares.Cut a piece of silver mirri board into a 12.7cm square and using double sided tape layer to the top of the box then place the small squares slightly apart alternating the colours to make a patchwork pattern then embellish with a dragonfly topper, acouple of daisies and the Birthday Wishes sentiment, with added purple heart gem to complete.
