Stylish dimensional large gift or display box features 

inward-slanted base sides with 

lace edge side “wrap” panels, 

lid with lace panel and offset accent panels. 

Base opening is approximately 6x6; 2” depth. 

Box footprint is 7.5” square. 

Lid panel is sized to fit any 6x6 panel, 

including many card panels from SnapDragon Snippets. 

Add “Lace Edge 6x6 Card” and 

“Flower 3D Center Dome with Swirl Vine” designs

for an extra special gift or display box.

ASSEMBLY: 1. Identify and cut the shapes:
A main box base    B base insert reinforcements (1-2)
C base side lace panels (4)
D base side accent overlays (4)
E lid under panel with flange slots
F lid flange side walls (4)
G under-lid accent & reinforcement panel
H lid lace main panel
I, J (narrow border show thru) & K: 
lid accent squares

2. Prepare the main base box shape by bending

back on all perforations for base, side walls, flanges.

3. Bend two adjacent sides inward with flanges bent inward
to overlap and complete side seams.
Before final two side seams are completed . . . 

. . . insert and attach the bottom reinforcement panels

into the bottom of the base "tray".

Then complete the final two side seams.

(Or position and attach reinforcement panels

before joining side seams.)

4. Prepare each of the four side lace panels
by bending top and bottom flanges back on
perforation lines, including the tiny hash cuts
on the lace scallops.

5. Center and "wrap" each lace panel around a side wall
of base box, beginning with bottom flange,
and secure each clips or weights until glue is
firmly attached. 
Repeat for each side wall and lace panel.

6. Position and attach accent side wall in similar
manner, centering so that side angled edges
align at lace inward "straight" edge.

7. On lace lid panel front position and attach

the main accent panel so that straight edges align

with the "straight" intermittent inner edges 

of lace design.

8. Center and attach the upper two accent panels.

Position these onto main lid, center on base accent

panel and attach in place.

9. Prepare each of the four flange rims by bending

the top flange "wall" back and adhering to the

backside of main rim wall.

Bend end tab back, and bottom tabs back.

10. Insert first flange rim bottom tabs into slots
of under-lid and push in completely, until . . . 

. . . tabs can be bent flat against backside of panel
and glued in place.

11. Bend the side tab inward, then . . . 

. . . insert and attach the next adjacent flange,

attach tabs to underside. Position and attach

corner edge overlapping end tab, and join seam.

12. Complete remaining two flange rims in similar manner.

13. Position the rim under-lid assembly on backside

 of the lid lace panel, centered, and attach in place.

14. Position and attach under-lid reinforcement accent

panel, if desired.

15. To close the box, position the lid over base
opening so that the flanges insert inside.

Here is the completed box.

16. For the "super" decorated box lid, use

the extra layers from the "Lace Edge 6x6 Card" design

to prepare a second lace plus accent panels top.

17. Position and attach the vine and leaf swirl shape

on the lace and accent panels assembly,

then complete the "Flower 3D Center Dome 

with Swirl Vine" design (tutorial HERE).

Center and attach to panel, then . . . 

. . . position and attach to box lid.

(NOTE this sample only includes the main

accent panel from large box.)
