UKS Hoppity Hop...


Today I'm lucky to be joining in with the UKScrappers Blog Hop where you will find plenty of inspiration to get your mojo flowing.
There are prizes along the way with a very generous prize from UKS to an overall random commenter
(please start from the beginning if you want to be in with a chance)

Hopefully you will have hopped from butterbee to find me.

I've never done a tutorial before so I do hope you will be able to follow my instructions to make this cute little pop up box.


You will need...
  • 12x12 double sided paper cut down to A4 (unless you have an A3 printer)
  • craft knife/scissors
  • glue (I used glossy accents)
  • 2 lengths of ribbon (20cm each)
  • Template
  • scorer
First of all you will need to download the template and print this onto your paper.


After cutting it out you should end up with something like this....



Decide which side of your paper you want to see more of and follow the guide below to score and crease in the right directions. (Mine is showing the inside of my box)








Before assembling your box you will need to fold back the top strip (left)
  and thread each piece of
your ribbon through the
holes and knot on the
 inside of your box (right)

This is now the outside of your box...









to assemble your box, add a bit of glossy accents to the two tabs and stick.

(I did mine one at a time as it is a bit fiddly holding both together)

With the box upside down, the photos show how to assemble the bottom as trying to explain it has proved far to tricky!


Turning your box the right way up, you should have something like this. 


Fill it with a small gift, sweets etc push the top down and tie the ribbon.
(My ribbon was a bit too short to tie a nice big bow but I'm sure yours will be just right)


I would love to see your boxes (if you decide to make one)

Please leave me a comment before hopping over to  
to see what wonderful inspiration she has for you... 

Here's the full hop list...

    Brilliant tutorial! My mum loves making these! You will never believe it but I made a template and made these with a class of 35 year sixes before christmas one year. Everyone said it could not be done - but they did it Blue Peter style and loved it! Very boy heavy class who loved engineering. They went home and made more out of cereal boxes and brought them in the next day! Great post! jenx (UKS wear crafts)
