Assembling the Winter Scene Tissue Box
After the foiling is done, you can start assembling the box. First, re crease all the folds. Then separate all the embellishment pieces for each side so that you can keep them straight. You want to assemble all the embellishments before you try to glue the pieces on the box.
Assemble each side before you try to attach them together. Look at the pictures above to see how each side goes together. Make sure all the tabs on the side pieces are facing the same way. I had one upside down when I first made one of these boxes and the sides didn’t fit together right. I just used those pieces and made a nice wall hanging.
Next glue all the sides to the top in a cross shape with the pieces upside down and the top of the box on top. I tried to assemble it one side at a time and it gets rather tricky. Make sure the glue is dry before you fold the sides down. Fold the sides down one at a time and glue each side to the next one at a time until you have a rectangle box.
This looks like such a fun project, and one that will be enjoyed after it’s made as well! Wish I had seen this earlier in the season, but I still want to try it. Thank you for sharing.
