Hello and welcome!
Today I’ve made a box to fit the trinket dish I embellished
a short time ago (you can find out more about that project here). Putting a
small, inexpensive item into a pretty box makes it much more giftable (is that
a word?) don’t you think?
I made my box to fit my dish, and if you happen to want a
box that size then you can follow my measurements in the tutorial.
However, if the item you want a box for is a different size,
then here’s how you go about deciding what size you need to cut and score your
card -
Measure the item that you want to fit in your box.
Width x Length x Height
To calculate the size to cut your card:
Length plus twice the height
Width plus twice the height
Score at the "height" dimension on all sides.
To calculate the size for the lid, add 1/8"(3mm) to the length and width.
