I saw this Christmas scene on Pinterest and wanted to try it and here's my version. Scroll down for tutorial.
The lamps and trees are cut out of a white glitter paper.
Tutorial:
Start with a piece of paper 12" x 4.5". Scored it at 2, 4, 8 n 10", and length wise at 2.5". Mountain and valley fold the two, 2" side panels. Before you cut the bottom off, score 5mm (or 1/4") on the left side of the 4" score, and on the right side of the 8" score, so when it's folded, you have a flap to glue to the bottom to make the enclosure. Then cut away the bottom part. I used scissors. Make sure you cut length wise all the way into the 4 and 8" score. The top part should be 2.5" x 12", and the bottom part should be 2" x 4.5" give or take for mm.
Looks like this:
Next, using a ruler and pencil, mark a rectangle in each panel by measuring 5mm around each edge. I liked 5mm because it's a little smaller than 1/4" and shows more of the lattice, but you can use a 1/4" if you prefer.
Using a ruler and an exacto like cutting knife, (mine's we R memory keepers) cut out each panel.
Die cut 2 or 3 lattice pieces, and measure and cut out enough for each panel, making the lattice piece a little larger than the opening so you can glue it around the edges. Mine's a 4 1/4" x 5 5/8" Gina Marie Lattice die. ($10.00, ebay)
Glue each lattice piece to the back of each panel.
Now you're ready to glue the bottom flaps to the back of the 2nd side panel. Fold the right side over the front of the project and put a line of glue on the bottom back of the 2nd panel. Fold the bottom flap up and glue it to the back of the bottom of the 2nd panel. Repeat for the left side.
Looks like this: (Yours would have the lattice in it)
Decorate it how you like. I used the Memory Box street lamp die, and the large tree and Merry Christmas dies I borrowed from a friend. The smaller tree was the largest of a set of three dies that I had, that I don't remember who it's from. Maybe Memory Box.
Thanks for stoppin' by, I hope you enjoyed takin' a peak!
Thanks to all the challengers above for lettin' me play along.
Blessings!
