Blossom Box Bowls Tutorials

The Blossom Box Die can be used to make bowls!  When the paper is run through Big Shot machine, this die not only cuts the shape it scores the paper so it can be folded into a box.  Well,  if you cut on some of those score lines and then reassemble it you can make these two bowls.  Pretty nifty!!

To make the Milk Duds Bowl:
1. Die cut two pieces of Designer Series Paper with the Blossom Box Die.   Cut away the two bottom flaps.  Cut on the lines as shown.  (Just follow the pre-scored lines on the die cut.)  Fold on the lines shown.  (Again these are pre-scored.)
 2. Adhere the two die cut sections together.
 3.  Locate the score lines indicated by the dashed lines.
 4.  Apply adhesive to the back right hand edge of each petal.  Overlap up to the score line and adhere firmly.
 5.  Continue around the bowl, overlapping each petal.
6.  Fill with yummy treats!

To make the M&M bowl:
1.  Die cut two pieces of Designer Series Paper with the Blossom Box Die.   Cut away the two bottom flaps.  Cut on the lines as shown.   (The lines are pre-scored.)
 2.  Adhere the two die cut sections together.  Place Scotch tape on each side where the sections meet.
 3. Fold on the lines marked "Fold".
 4. Apply adhesive to the back right hand edge of the flap marked "A".
 5. Overlap so that point "A" meets point "B".  Continue around the circle to form the bowl.
6.  Outside view of the overlap.
7.  Keep filling and refilling the bowl... the M&Ms seem to disappear magically!!
