I had the pleasure of making my bestfriend's cardbox (among many other things :P) I litterally spent less than $20 on this. The material was left over from a project I did a few years ago and the the rest is foamcore, and flowers from walmart. I'll post up better photos from my dslr soon!
OK I finally found the time to come up with the instructions for thisl
**PLEASE keep i mind that this is not an easy project lol, its time consuming and I constructed and cut everything from scratch. It's a lot of precision cutting, etc so this wont be a fun project.
Materials used:
- 3 boards of White Foam core (from Dollarstore $1.25 each or so) The reason why I love foam core is because its extremely light but sturdy! (and cheap :D )
- material of your choice (mine was on clearance at fabric store which costed me 5$)
- pencil to draw pieces onto foam core
- large ruler/yardstick/meter stick to trace out pieces
- Exactoknife (the small craft kind with interchangeable blades not the heavyduty kind
- ribbon for lining the edge of each tier
- fake flowers (mine were from Michaels)
- Hot glue gun (hot glue sticks)
- tape to help hold pieces together until you glue it or until glue dries
I've attached the PDF of the instructions, you can email me if the instructions don't make any sense or if you just have questions, chou_xiong83@hotmail.com Thanks!
Hi there...what is it that you do for you profession? lol. Your pdf instruction / diagram looks so professional - as does your cardbox!
This box you made looks AMAZING. I am intimidated by the work you put in. I am making one with boxes so that I can just cover it with the fabric I purchased. I see that you used a glue gun and I thought it might make the fabric (on a box) spotchy or uneven. Have you ever used any types of spray adhesive?
@Hulagirl, Thanks, I'm a Graphic Designer but I just enjoy doing crafts and constructing anything girly lol. As for the glue, you can try spray adhesive but I'm not too sure as I've never tried it before? Perhaps even a strong double sided tape? Sorry hopefully that helps!
