Hi! Teri here with a tutorial for the cute Box Card Large Valentine’s Centerpiece (Shop, Silhouette). This piece is simple to put together and turns out adorable.
First, I cut out all of my pieces even a few extra heart banner pieces. Since I’m putting this in a location where all sides will be seen, I wanted the banner to go all the way around the box. I also inked the hearts to give them more depth.
I ensured that all of my hearts would fit in the right spots.
Then I glued the main box portion together.
A little tip that I use for stringing baker’s twine is that I apply a small amount of wet glue to the end of the twine and then twist the twine applying the glue. Then let it dry for a few minutes and this will give you a makeshift needle so you can thread the twine through the small holes of the mini banners. I then glued the end of the twine into the corners of the main box portion.
Then I added the front and back insert pieces folding the glue tabs towards you so that you’ll get the same distance on both sides.
Then add the center insert piece.
All three insert pieces should be evenly spaced.
Thanks for stopping by!
Teri
