acetate box??
I saw an acetate box on here last month ( I think) and I was a dope and didn't put it into my fav's. Now I can't find it. She used a sheet of acetate, and it looked like a 2-4-6-8 box, with CS top & bottom. she made it herself, not a template or diecut. Here's an example of what I mean (but this example used a die cut) http:////www.splitcoaststampers.com/...box&perpage=12
Does anyone know what I'm talking about? I searched the gallery for *acetate* & *acetate box* with no luck. Hope someone can help! She made it as a Valentine treat, so I know it was fairly recent... help! Ariel |
anyone at all?

Susie---thank you!! That's EXACTLY what I wanted! You are so awesome!!
Wendy, your link was a really cool box, but not quite what I wanted, but there was a link in her post, so I checked it out. Lo and behold...that was it!! thanks to you both for being wonderful help!! Here's the original that I found (which is NOW in my favs) :) http:////www.splitcoaststampers.com/...85653&cat=7824 |
I have not been able to find directions for the Acetate Box with cardstock top & bottom. Please advise.

Ok, I managed to make some of these boxes, and taught it to my group this week.
You begin with a size of acetate the same as you would for a regular CS 2-4-6-8 box. Meaning, cut it to whatever height you want it to be and you will have a sheet of paper 8 1/2 X ____ <--your measurement here. So now you have your rectangle, and you can make your 2-4-6-8 box out of the acetate. the top and bottom are tricky. You will make them the same as the box, but slightly modified. Your paper should be 3 1/4 x 8 1/2. Don't make it any less than 3 1/4 b/c your tabs for closing the box won't reach each other. (at least mine didn't. Maybe there are some brilliant math whizzes here!) Here are your scoring measurements: 2 1/16 4 2/16 6 3/16 8 4/16 See the pattern there? I didn't make the 4/16 a 1/4 so you could see the pattern of measurements. Once you fold the 2 lids together, adhere the bottom to the bottom of your acetate box permanently. Then fill with stuff--jelly beans, candy, pencils if it's a tall box, whatever you want! Place lid on top, and there you have it! I hope that was clear. I am not at home to post a picture of mine, but I copied mine from genie1314. You have to be a member to see it, so I reccomend that you get your membership folks...it's so worth it! I'll try to get a pic of the ones we made posted this evening or this weekend for you to see. Hope those directions help! Ariel :D |
I've never made a box...so bare with me. How do you make the lids close?:confused:
