Hi there friends! Brandie here with a tutorial for the Camera Shaped Box (SVG, Silhouette). This little box is darling and would make a cute gift box, décor piece, or to hold a mini album! I will be placing pictures from a vacation in mine and setting it on the bookshelf with my other photo albums.
I wanted my box large enough to hold 4×6 pictures. I added a 4×6 rectangle then I selected all of the camera images and enlarged until the rectangle fit inside the middle box shape.
For the lens and top dial. I folded all of the score lines as mountain folds. I then applied a small amount of liquid glue to the triangle tabs. The triangle tabs attach to the rectangle next to it creating a corner of the octagon. Once the octagon is complete I folded the tabs in creating a base for the bottom of the octagon box. I applied liquid glue to one of tabs and anchored the bottom piece of the octagon box. After the anchor was secure I applied glue to the remaining tabs and folded the bottom into place. Hold the octagon for a few seconds while the glue takes hold.
Each of the octagons has a layering piece. The large octagon has four layers and the small octagon has one. I inked around the edges of the octagon and applied the layers with liquid glue.
While the box was still flat I glued the decorative panels into place. I then folded all the score lines into mountain folds. I glued the smallest tabs into place first creating the base of the box. The remaining open side of the camera body is a little shorter so I applied glue to the side of body flap rather than the tabs.
The lid only has four tabs to glue and no decorative panels. I applied glue to the tabs and tucked into place.
With the lid on the box I glued the two octagons into place as well as the viewfinder rectangle and flash circle
I also added a few little things to embellish my camera box. All of the papers and embellishments are from the Echo Park collection I Love Summer.
That’s it for me. Thanks for stopping by and I hope you all are enjoying your summer!

First, fold the envelope pieces, card base and gift card holder along the score lines.
Next, apply the cover panels to the interior of the card, the envelope flap, and the gift card holder.
To make the tassel, lay out your floss and use a small piece to tie a knot in the middle. Bring both ends of the string up so that you can attach the tassel to your cap.
Next, fold the tassel in half and tie a knot about a quarter of an inch down. You can wrap and tie this a couple of times to secure. Once you have it tied, you can trim the ends to the desired length.
Attach the tassel to the cap by threading the string through the hole and gluing in place. Apply glue to the triangle portion of the card base and glue the cap into place.
Finally, glue the gift card holder into place by applying glue to the tabs.
Thanks so much for stopping by today!
