Use scrunched-up clingfilm to apply paint to the box inside and out. Once dry, score and fold all the lines.
Punch two holes in the small base flap on the long side, 1cm up from the outside edge. Close the short side flaps and the base flap, marking through the holes with a pencil. Punch the second holes.
Close the lid flap on the inside of the box to transfer the two holes again with a pencil. Unfold and punch out the holes.
Thread ribbon first through the side flaps, then through the base flap, then through the lid flap, securing with a bow as shown.
Die-cut a selection of leaves and attach to the top and front flap, trimming away any excess at the side.
Sandra's Tip
Back the lilac cardstock with an adhesive sheet before die-cutting the leaves so that you don't have to worry about glueing down small pieces
