490 Wedding Cake BoxCompleted by Gwyneth George

This box is made totally from 2 sheets of 12" x 12" 250gsm cardstock and some quick grab wet glue. I decided to make the lid in a different colour to the base, but in reality the box can be made up in any colours, from white for a wedding to gold for a golden wedding anniversary.

I cut the design out using my Silhouette Cameo and then glued first the lid and then the base of the box together. Although there's plenty of room for decorating and embelishing, including threadding ribbon through the top band of the lid, I decided to make it up this time with only items from the cutting file. My only embelishment was a paper flower on the top - hand made from the heart shapes cut out of the side of the lid. I made the box up slightly taller than the height set in the cutting file, but the instructions do say about the ability to do this, so on a 12" square cardstock you could make quite a tall box for holding a bottle if you wanted.
