Holiday Light up Gift Box

A gift box with a battery votive, put a gift into this 5.75" L x 5" W x 5" D box an light it up!

What I used: Sizzix/Tim Holtz "Merry and Bright" and "Ice Flake" dies. (4) pieces white cardstock cut to 5.75" x 5.5" scored at 1/2" on the short side (the 5.5" side). (2) pieces heavy white cardstock for the lids cut to 9.25" x 9.25", Scored at 1", 2", 7.25", 8.25" on all 4 sides.

4 3/8" x 5 1/4" vellum, Gold cardstock to line the inside of the box (optional) and for the Merry and Bright and the snowflake. I used glue, tape runner and red tape (red tape is very sturdy). Printed cardstock to decorate the box (optional)-(4) pieces 5"x 5.75" for the sides, 4.75" x 4.75" for the lid top, and smaller pieces for the sides of the lid (8) pieces 5.25" x .75".

I made the side of the box last year without knowing how to make it into a gift box. I then saw on Pinterest boxes with 2 lids, one glued on at the bottom and decided this was a good way to go. https://mixedupcraft.com/2017/09/29/big-bow-birthday-box/  Her box is actually better and can be adapted for this box. I used 4 panels and glued them together instead of the way she made it. She has a video and this is the best way to learn to make a box, so please go watch her video:)

Score the panel 1/2' on the 5 1/2" side to make a tab.

I covered the white cardstock with the printed cardstock, cut out the snowflake shape on 1 of the panels, this will be the front of the box.

Attach the vellum to the back of the panel. This photo also shows how the tab is taped to the panel to form a box.

Cut the snowflake out of the gold paper. Attach with glue to the vellum on the front of the panel.

Attach the tape to the tabs, attach the panels together to form a box.

This is how the lids are scored.If you watch the video I linked at the top, she will show you the best way to put it together, I gave the dimensions and scoring lines so that it will fit this box.
