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!
