My Creation:
I HAVE BEEN ASKED BY TWO FRIENDS RETRO REVIVAL AND BETTYTEE FOR INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO MAKE AN EASEL DRAWER BOX CARD, SO HERE GOES, I'VE EVEN DONE STEP-BY-STEP PICTURES FOR YOU:
1/ START OFF WITH A PIECE OF STRONGISH CARD MEASURING 11 INCHES BY 7 INCHES.
2/ SCORE THIS PIECE LANDSCAPE AT 5 INCHES AND 6 INCHES.
3/ TURN TO PORTRAIT AND SCORE AT 1 INCH AND 6 INCHES.
4/ BURNISH ALL SCORE LINES AND CUT THE TABS.
5/ PUT TOGETHER USING SUPER TACKY TAPE OR WET GLUE.
FOR THE DRAWER, YOU WILL NEED A PIECE OF CARD, JUST A SMIDGE BEFORE 7 INCH SQUARE. WHAT I MEAN BY A SMIDGE, IS THE MARK, JUST BEFORE THE 7 INCH MARK.
1/ SCORE AT 1 INCH ON ALL 4 SIDES.
2/ BURNISH ALL SCORE LINES AND CUT THE TABS.
3/ THEN JUST STICK TOGETHER.
YOU CAN AT THIS STAGE ADD A BRAD FOR THE DRAWER HANDLE.
1/ TO MAKE THE EASEL CARD, JUST CUT A PIECE OF CARD 10 INCHES BY 5 INCHES AND SCORE LANDSCAPE AT 5 INCHES. TO MAKE THE EASEL, JUST OPEN UP THE CARD AND SCORE LANDSCAPE AT 2 1/2 INCHES, AND FOLD.
2/ CUT ANOTHER PIECE OF CARD 5 INCH SQUARE, AND ATTACH TO THE EASEL PART.
3/ ATTACH THE EASEL CARD TO THE TOP OF YOUR BOX/DRAWER.
I USED A FANCY EDGE DIE FOR MY EASEL PART, BUT A PLAIN SQUARE IS JUST AS NICE.
DECORATE YOUR CARD AS YOU WISH.
TO MAKE A BOX TO PUT YOUR EASEL DRAWER BOX CARD IN, I JUST CUT ONE PIECE OF CARD 8 1/2 INCH SQUARE, AND ANOTHER ONE JUST A SMIDGE SMALLER THAN 8 1/2 INCH SQUARE.
SCORE AT 1 1/2 INCHES ON ALL SIDES, AND BURNISH, AND CUT THE TABS AND STICK. YOUR BASE AND LID SHOULD FIT PERFECTLY, AS THE BASE WILL BE JUST A SMIDGE SMALLER THAN THE TOP.
HOPE YOU FIND THE TUTORIAL USEFUL, AND WOULD LOVE TO SEE YOUR CREATIONS, IF YOU MAKE ANY. ANY QUESTIONS, PLEASE ASK XXXXXXX
