Pas à pas

1. 

   Remove the protective sheet from your 12 by 12 inch acetate sheet by gently peeling it away from one corner.

2. 

   Take two sheets of acetate and place one in your guillotine. Trim a thin slither off the top edge and a similar slither off one side to create a slightly smaller piece for your box lid.

3. Decide on your desired box depth (approximately 1.5 inches is average). Use a score tool to score lines at this measurement on all four sides of both acetate sheets. ▶ watch 15:00
4. 

   Score additional lines at 1 cm intervals on all four sides of the acetate sheet. These scored lines will create the flaps that hold the box together.

5. 

   At each corner, cut a diagonal line from the top corner down towards the base, then cut across to create a tapered corner flap. This creates a chamfered edge that will fold neatly when assembling the box.

6. 

   Apply double-sided tape to the flaps of the acetate sheet. Fold the acetate up along the score lines, tucking the flaps inside to form the box base.

7. 

   Repeat the taping and folding process with your second acetate sheet to create the box lid. Ensure all four sides are securely taped and the corners are neatly folded.

8. Test that the lid fits over the base by gently pressing it down. The slightly smaller dimensions should allow it to sit snugly on top of the base. ▶ watch 29:30
9. 

   Decorate the top of your finished acetate box by adhering decorative paper panels featuring flowers and butterflies, or sentiment labels, to the exterior using double-sided tape.

Astuces de l'émission

• Construction weight acetate scores beautifully without creating the spidery web flare that occurs with thinner acetates.
• Don't take slivers off all four sides of the lid piece—only trim the top and one side to ensure proper fit.
• If you prefer a smaller box, cut 8 by 8 acetate sheets and score at 1 inch instead of 1.5 inches for a 7 by 7 finished box.
