 Hey everybody it's Sam at Mixed Up Craft, thank you for watching my tutorial today. I'm going to be showing you how to make this really sweet double flip lid box and this is basically evolved from the chocolate box that I shared for Mother's Day. I had a lot of requests to do a more of a box style so although that was a box it was very flat and it was I guess it was quite specific for that tray of chocolates. So I've decided to do this one here, it's a great size. This one measures four by five by four and you can see how it looks on the side there and then you just open up the two sides drop down and inside you have this lovely golden chocolate Easter egg. This is from Marks and Spencer's, you can buy them on their own and that is just nice then because you can make some packaging yourself. I've put some of the shredded paper here and you've got lots of room to add other little treats in there and of course you don't have to have this as an Easter theme. This would fit a nice candle, other nice gifts inside and you could decorate it accordingly but I think it's very very sweet. I love this little topper which I've made with the little carrots and I've put the little rabbit there as well. It's very straightforward to make so let me show you how. Okay so these are the papers that I downloaded and printed off so I printed some onto my 300gsm cardstock and the best way to do that I've just got a standard printer but if you put one page in at a time then you'll be able to print onto cardstock. Depending on what printer you have if you've got something that's a lot more advanced and you can probably put more in but I've had people before ask me how I managed to print onto cardstock with a standard printer and that's just how I do it. So just go into the image print just the one and just have that one piece of card in. Let it pull it through and then if you want more then just push print again but I've done the polka dot. I went a bit off there but it's fine I can still obviously use that one. That's really lovely and then these ones I've just done onto paper because I thought they'd be nice to fussy cut. So I've done two of those and then I've done this on cardstock because I think this is going to make another really nice box. I can always print more of that one which I probably will actually because it's directional. I'll probably use two pieces and then I've done these on cardstock. Again I'll probably end up fussy cutting these and I might fussy cut a couple for the topper on this project but I just think they're really really sweet. They're from the papercrafter website which I will link in my blog post and I just think you know I don't tend to really buy a lot of Easter papers and I've not really I've struggled to really get some for this series this year so I've just had a look online and there's so many just type in free Easter downloadable paper and you get a ton of websites come up so yeah that's what we're using and there's also this gingham. There was one other which was the same as this one but it was in like a stone colour that one there but I didn't really like it. It was a bit too I just thought it didn't go with this collection as well as all of these because they're so bright and colourful but I love the gingham ones that's what I'm using today so I've already done one half just like I did when I done the chocolate box and I'd started to cut into this one because I just wanted to check that everything was going to come together so as I mentioned at the beginning this is all using your letter paper size or your A4 card stock so you will need two pieces that are nine and a quarter by seven and a quarter and this is for the box so on both pieces you want to score along the nine and a quarter side at three and three quarters and eight and three quarters which you should have a half inch tab then rotate and then score at three and a quarter along that seven and a quarter side do that on two pieces and we're going to cut it so it looks like this and then you will need two pieces for the lid that are nine by six and a half and along the six and a half side you want to score at two and six so you'll have a half inch tab here then rotate and along the nine inch side you want to score at two and seven so you'll have two two inch sides okay do that on both pieces that's everything so I'm just going to get rid of my scoreboard okay so first of all we will concentrate on the box so you want to fold and burnish all of the score lines and then with your scissors you want to have the half inch tab on your right hand side and you're going to cut up the score line to the first score line like so and then again with this one here just cut up that first score line that score line to there and then just remove that piece completely so you have something like this then with the tab you just want to take a little wedge off of each corner and then the shorter side is the side of the box so this is going to come under and that's going to become the front or the back so it's this smaller section so the left hand side that you just want to take a wedge off of each of those corners just so you don't get anything overhanging okay that's a bit messy but you're not going to see any of that it's because I'm using these scissors I should be using my nice longer ones here which I can just then snip away in one cut much much better there we go okay so you'll have two like this next well I didn't take a little bit off of the top of that one what you want to do is add some glue onto one of the tabs and then you're going to stick this piece over the top just on the score line this base score line here make sure that stays nice and straight and all lined up and as I always say if you've got anything overhanging at the top at least then you can trim it away okay then flip it over fold over this half with the other tab and add some glue onto there make sure you don't get any glue on the box itself and then fold this one over and it will all line up again just make sure that those score lines all meet and just burnish everything okay so you'll have something like this next turn it upside down decide which you which you want to be your front and back and then just fold for me I'm going to fold the back down here I'm going to add glue all over here okay let's just fold those both in and then add glue all onto this bit don't worry that you've got the gap there you can cover it with some card stock if you wanted to but you're not going to notice it's the base it's just the it's the size that I've done and I wanted to try and maximize the box size so then just hold that down in fact you don't need to put the glue on that bit because you're not sticking anything to it but that's the nice thing about this callow you see there when you rub it it just all comes off comes off into a bit of a clump so you can just but it doesn't ruin the card stock okay we can just go in there and just make sure that's all sealed down so I'm probably going to line the inside anyway because I just like that and I think for this kind of project because the lid opens up it'd be nice so I'm going to decorate the bottom but I mean if you want to decorate the bottom there as well you can do so that's the box done then we're going to make two of these now I had to add my hinge because I cut it off by accident but basically that's going to stick under there just like we did for the chocolate box and you can see how one side's going to go over like that it looks really nice so to get that you've done all your scoring so again fold and burnish the score lines okay so you want to have your half inch tab on the right hand side ignore that I've cut all this but have it on the right hand side you'll have your two inch score line here and this is that six inch score line there you want to cut up this one just to the first score line so I'm just cutting up just to that one there sorry I know we've got the gingham it's a bit busy but remember it's that two inch score line you're just cutting up to this two inch one because along here was the two and the six okay and then you'll have this little corner here you just want to cut up and remove that piece completely because that's going to be the hinge that we stick underneath the box okay and then flip it around so now the tabs on the left hand side and again you want to cut up that two inch one to that first score line and then this one here and because I've already done the other cut that will come out straight away you'll have something like this I'm then going to take a wedge yeah that is right off of this piece and also off of this one here what you will have okay and you'll want two pieces like that next you're going to add a glue onto this tab and you're going to stick this one under here and bring this one around and they should join up nicely again just spend a minute sticking that all down add glue to the top of this one and stick it down the same way then you want to cut from the bottom here across to here now if you want to draw a pencil line from the top left down to the bottom right you can but I've got my long scissors here and I'm just going to go in and just cut this freehand just eyeball it there like so okay so again I can come around this side we'll just make sure that's all stuck down like so and then you want to add glue under onto your tab again you might want to just take a little bit off of the corners of each one there actually because you don't want that sticking out and then take that one off it'll fit along the long side if you pop it on there and then turn it upside down you can really push down on that tab and make sure it's nice and flush against the side there and again if you want to decorate that once you stuck this down because then you can cover everything actually I might do that we'll see at the end in fact this tab will end up covering that section anyway so and again yours won't have this additional tab yours will all be like that first one I'm just going to stick that over it will overlap the other one slightly and bring that over when that's all secure flip it over and you've got a flip lid box or double flip lid box you close it up whatever one you put down first the other one will just sit slightly over the top it's a really nice size box so now we can start decorating everything okay so I've just been having a play around with some stuff I've cut some circles I'm going to use but inside you'll see I've put my golden egg and I've just used some of this straw or well just shredded paper to act as straw and it's this one here which I'm sure I did share in my what did I get because I shared a lot of the Easter stuff that I had purchased yeah shredded craft paper so that's all in there and I've also lined the bottom you can see there just as some polka dot paper so if someone does want to use it afterwards then they can and I've done that on the bottom as well so you'll want two pieces if you want to decorate oh that's slipped oh dear see it's wonky because um obviously I didn't uh I moved you know I carried on whilst it was still wet and it's moved so never mind it's three and five eighths of an inch by four and seven eighths of an inch so it's a bit wonky on the bottom there but it's the bottom so I'm not too worried but I think that looks really nice and there's room for lots of other things as well I'm keeping mine white on the sides but you could easily add some you know pattern paper here as well but I'm going to have this one on top it's going to stick to one half so whatever you know the the top side so this one's going to be on the actually no because I like it to open from the left it'll be like that so it's going to stick on the left hand side and then I thought it looks really cute with the three carrots on top I just love that but then I thought do I want to have the rabbit as well so I don't know whether to kind of maybe have the bunny behind a little bit um or maybe just kind of stuck resting on the side there like that I think it's quite a cute top and I can always add a sentiment I was going to bring in the little chick but I thought carrots go better with the rabbit so we're we'll scrap the chicks they're going to be used for another project so I'm going to just I've got my hot glue gun on these were all picked up from the pound store they do them every single year so I've got a few from last year and then I picked up some well a few bags this year because I've got these ones are felt but there's ones that I've got glitter on there's I've got one that's slightly bigger but they are all going to be in my shadow box which I'm currently making and then that one there so let's have those three kind of like that and then this one can kind of stick on the ends there quite a fun little topper and then that's going to sit on one half so I'm going to use my Kalao just a cover because this will really strengthen the lid make sure it's nicely make sure it's nice and even the circle sizes I've got three and three quarters for the larger one actually I'll show you them here well that's just kind of dry drying the circle sizes are yeah three and three quarters and then the next one down is about three and a quarter okay I can't remember where I got these from I think these ones were from the works if I remember rightly but it was a it was a good you know a few years ago now so but any nice circle you know you might want to do squares you might do something completely different but just make sure it doesn't shift like the bottom did and if I open that out I can just really make sure that sticks down you just got so much room in there so that's stuck down that can all come up and then that closes up on top isn't it sweet I just really like this I just wanted something that was just with the gingham and the orange and just quite clean and crisp I always like to go over the top with things so that's what I've done with the topper but I'm keeping the box all you know quite plain and then when you open it up you've got that golden egg inside I'm tempted to do something in here though let me just see what scraps of the yellow I've still got so I've just stuck these down here so it was the paper that was going to fussy cut but it's got a happy Easter on it so this is four and three quarters by three and three quarters check that one yeah that's four and that will you know just strengthen it some more and then it all closes up so you've got all the detail on top of there open it up and you've got the golden egg which I don't know if I said is from Marks and Spencer's so I love those ones that you can then make your own packaging for but they have it I think it's lovely so I hope that's you know helped those of you that asked for the double flip in a more of a bigger box I think that's a great size I think you can you know put a lot of things in that definitely a nice candle and because it's it's quite reinforced with the amount of layers that go up around it so you can you know put something a bit more weighted in there as well so as always thank you for watching and please give the video a thumbs up if you have enjoyed today and consider
