 2 pieces cardstock 2.5 cm x 6.3cm
 2 pieces of the same dsp as above cut 5.8cm long x 2cm wide
 Grosgrain ribbon 45cm and two extra pieces to create bows approx
24cm each

 Step 1

Using the template provided or the measurements provided also on

the pdf attached cut out your cardstock using the template. You will need
two cut outs of this template.

Step 2
Score and cut as per directions on template

Step 3
Adhere sticky strip as shown
Step 4
Take your first piece of cardstock and fold in the base of the box
where the cut lines are, using the two parts that do not have sticky
strip, then fold in the other two parts peeling off the sticky strip and
attaching. This gives it a nice clean finish underneath, also take the
sticky strip off the side tab and attach to the inside of the box. Your
assembled box should look like this:

Step 5
Repeat step 4 with the other piece of cardstock

Step 6
Adhere sticky strip to the back of one of the boxes as shown then
stick the two boxes together
Step 7
Using your two pieces of DSP that are cut to 20cm x 6 cm lay them
down and on the side you are using attach sticky strip along the ends
of one piece as shown

Step 8
Peel the sticky strip on end and attach to the other piece until you
end up with one continuous strip

Step 9
I then add a small amount of sticky strip in the centre of each side of
the box taking care not to go right to the edges as the DSP fits in the
centre of the cardstock not fully to the edges. See picture below:

Step 10
Stick your DSP onto your box

Step 11
Adhere your 5.8cm x 2cm DSP to the 2.5 x 6.3 cm cardstock
Step 12
Attach those pieces in the middle of the two long sides of your box to
cover the joins of the DSP

Step 13
Tie your grosgrain around the box and then add your two bows

Step 14
Run your 10 cm x 12.5 cm cardstock through the big shot using your
top note die, then from the top centre point to the bottom centre
point score your top note cut out, this will fold over the top of the
box.

Step 15
Decorate as desired

Step 16
Adhere your top note diecut to the box using sticky strip

Add your eggs or whatever you intend to put in there, and you are
done!

Well Done
