Top Note Box


This cute top note box has a fun surprise in it! Little Compartments! It's easy to create these little compartments and they are perfect for adding cute little gifts or even some chocolate inside!

To make this top note box I started with:
1 - 9"x6" sheet of cardstock scored at 1" from each edge and 4" and 5" withe the 9" side across the top
1 - 3"x6" piece of cardstock scored at 2", 3", and 4" (to create the first divider)
2 - 2"x5" pieces of cardstock scored at 1.5", 2.5" and 3.5" (to create the smaller dividers)
2 - top note die pieces cut out of your choice of DSP
2 - top note die pieces cut out of cardstock (attach to the above pieces for added sturdiness)

Start by cutting away the two pieces on the 9"x6" piece to create the lid. Then cut the tabs and place sticky strip on them to put together the box.

Dry fit the dividers and trim away any excess so that they fit inside the box. Use sticky strip to adhere the mountain fold of the dividers together and then some on the bottom to adhere them to the box.
Attach ribbon with sticky strip to the top note and then attach the box with sticky strip. Then do the same to the top of the box. Decorate the top of your box and your ready to fill it with a fun gift!
