Big Pinchbox (bag) Blue White Flowers 105Completed by Shelagh E Osborn Wright

I printed the sheets onto heavyweight matte photo paper and cut out the parts. I scored and folded the card and added a medallion with foam pads. I scored the pinchbox where indicated, then folded using my bone folder to give nice sharp creases.

I added strong DST for the side and base tabs joining first sides then base. I punched small holes at each end of the lid centre, passed a length of pale blue ribbon through each end, adding an extra loop of ribbon with a medallion tag attached to one side.

I used extra strong DST to fix ribbon to reverse of lid.

I cut and glued a strip of card to fit and cover this inside. I glued the lid back to the back of the box with collall photo glue,and glued the floral medallion to the front as shown.

I then tucked the front flap into this to complete the box.

I have added a few bright blue gems to both box and card front for a little added sparkle. This is a lovely big box design, and is easy to make. The colours are beautiful and the finished pinchbox looks gorgeous!
