How to do it
1 Print the templates from the separate PDF file available on this page. Cut out the templates and place them onto a piece of recycled card and cut out.
2 Use a bone folder for scoring the lines on the templates and fold the box along the score lines.
3 When the score lines are folded, the box and lid look like this.
4 Cut lace patterned card for decorating the outer sides of the box.
5 Attach the pieces of lace patterned card using double-sided adhesive tape.
6 Punch out different sized hearts from gold, glitter design, lace patterned and off-white card.
7 Cut pieces of card for attaching onto the inside of the box. Punch out a heart prior to attaching the pieces of card.
8 Assemble the lid. Punch out two different sizes of hearts and attach them onto the assembled lid.
9 Cut a piece of card to fit the inside of the box lid. Make holes in the card and feed pieces of gold thread through the holes. Glue punched-out hearts in pairs on at the end of each piece of gold thread.
10 Attach double-sided adhesive tape over the thread ends and along the edges on the other side of the card . Attach the card inside the box lid.
11 Print text on the middle section of a piece of off-white paper. Fold it in three sections, roll it into a tube and tie it together with a ribbon.
12 Decorate the hearts with glitter design paper and rhinestones.
