American Flag Open Top Box

American Flag Open Top Box-JMRush

Approximate size: W 6.75” X D 2.75” X H 4.25”

This open top box file has a american flag design that wraps around the entire box. This box can be used as a gift box, a centerpiece, or as a napkin holder for your Fourth of July/ Memorial day parties ( fits napkins 6.5” in width). This design is compatible with both 8X12 and 12X12 mats.

1. Cut design pieces.
2. Fold score lines on the box base. Apply glue to the backside of the side tab on the largest box base section and secure to the smaller box base section- ( make sure that the large section has a square at the top and the smaller section has a square at the bottom:)
3. Apply glue to the right corner of the backside of the top center tab. Secure to the long rectangular tab to the right forming a 90 degree angle.
4. Apply glue to the left corner of the backside of the bottom center tab. Secure to the long rectangular tab to the left forming a 90 degree angle.
5. Apply glue to the outside of the 90 degree angle pieces and secure the square flap to the right.
6. This is what it should look like:)
7. Repeat for the other side so that your open top box shape is complete.
8. This is what it should look like:)
9. Apply glue to the front of the box. Apply the long rectangle stripes- alternating colors.
10. Apply glue to the side panel. Apply the smaller rectangle stripes-alternating colors.
11. Repeat for the other two sides. Glue the rectangular (blue) shape to the upper left corner ( on the front and on the back).
12. I used foam adhesive squares to attach the stars together- layering from largest to the smallest on top. I staggered the stars in this photo.
13. The stars are centered in this picture.
14. Finish by adding a ribbon or twine:)
