Petite Pocket Triangle Tutorial and Flap Sided Box

When I discovered the Petite Pocket die could be used to make triangle boxes I was so excited.  These go together so quickly I made a bunch (I have a super cool project with them tomorrow!)

This is the first I have used the Flirtatious Specialty Paper.  Such pretty doily designs!

To make the triangle box:
1. Using the Petite Pocket Die, cut three pieces of DSP.
2. Trim the long flaps to 1-1/2" by lining up the tip of the side flap with the 1-1/2" inch mark on the paper cutter.

3. Fold side flaps in on each piece.

4. Apply sticky strip to the side flaps and adhere all three together side-by-side. (Tip- Keep sticky strip close to the fold.)

5.  Cut the top and bottom flaps on an angle as shown. 

6. Adhere the sides together to form a triangle shaped tube.

7. Fold the bottom flaps in and adhere.  After filling box, adhere top flaps with temporary adhesive.

Another Idea!

This is a four sided box where the "fancy" flap is folded to the outside. The bottom flaps where cut at 2".  Refer to step #2 above and line the tip at 2" instead of 1-1/2".

I am on a roll and will have more Petite Pocket Projects tomorrow!  You can see all my Petite Pocket tutorials HERE.
