Acetate Boxes

This little purses are so stinkin' cute and easy to make I thought I would post instructions on how to make them.

First take you box and cut it in half.  I use my rotary cutter but you can just mark it and cut it with a scissors. Then take some designer series paper (a design on both sides) and cut it to 6 1/4 x 4 3/8.
Score it at 2 3/4 and again at 3 3/8. This piece will go inside your box.
For the flap cut the designer paper 4 3/8 wide by 3 inches.  Score at 1/2 inch and 1 1/8 inches.
Then you will take your Framlit and cut it like so fashion.

I used the largest Framlit from this set, which sadly is retired. But you could also trace around a circle or make your own design and cut it out with a scissors.

I measured down about I inch and placed a magnet on the inside of the cardstock.  I secured it with a Stampin' Up glue dot so it's not going anywhere.

Then I covered it with another piece of paper, which is totally optional as it won't be showing.

Place double sided tape on the paper that will be facing out once it's inside your box.  Remove the other side from your tape and place it inside your box.

Place tape on the  bottom of the top flap of your box. So you will have two pieces that look like this.

This is the back of the box.  The flap is attached to the outside.

The top magnet will cling to the other magnet and let you know where it wants to be.  I used a glue dot for that as well.

I added a cute little flower on top of the magnet nd the purse is complete.

Did I mention that these purses are the perfect size for chocolate?

The chocolate bars came from Aldi's.
