My version of the Boo Boxes, using the Holiday Harmony DP, and textured cs. For the ornament, I used the scraps of the Holiday Harmony paper, 1/2 x 6 in. strips rolled around a pencil and slipped inside.

Ok I give up...I never could find out how to make boo boxes (I was at convention but don't remember getting instructions), now I see these very elegant joy boxes. How do you make the boxes? Is there a template somewhere?

I used a 12x12 sheet of dp or cs and scored at 4.5 inches from each side so that it is like a tic tac toe. Then cut off the excess at a diagonal on the 4 corners. I found if I folded the flaps to be on the outside of the box I could just secure with a brad and didn't need any adhesive. The lid is a 6x6 piece scored at 1 7/16 on all sides. Then I just did one snip on each corner to have a flap to fold in. It really is easy once you figure it out. I think Jaron's Boo Boxes were made using a 9x9 piece but it didn't seem to leave enough room for my chipboard letters. The ornament fits perfectly in the box with tissue. I hope this helps and is not too confusing, Lynn
