 Hi everybody it's Sam here thank you for watching today so I'm going to show you how to make this mini lift and reveal box. I've already done the large and I've done the medium and then I'm going to call this one the mini it's really cute so you just lift the lid there or the little flap and then when you open it it will reveal your gift and this will very nicely hold a tonic's tea cake. The ribbon's there to hold your gift in place check out the medium size one you'll see I'll pop two lip glosses in that one just to show you or if I was popping the tonics in here I'd add a glue dot onto the bottom and then fix that in there because it needs to stay within that space you can see it goes in there but if it's not fixed yet no it's still come up okay but you do need to make sure that you fix it in place because if it moves too far down it will kind of lock so you always must make sure whatever you have you either fix it with a glue dot or you tie it around the ribbon which you can see I've fed through there really easy to make so let me show you how so I'm using the lovely oh so sweet paper pad this is by Fest addition I've used this in a few tutorials now some of them have been cards and I think gift box or gift bag again just check out my older tutorials if you want to see that so first of all you will need to cut yourself two pieces of cardstock so this is for the main box so this is 10 and a half by eight and a half so along the 10 and a half side you're going to score it two and a half five seven and a half and ten and then rotate it so this half inch piece is at the top and then you're going to score it one three and a half and six okay so that's what you need to do for the main box and then this is for the reveal section so this is four and three quarters by seven and one eighth along the seven and one eighth side you want to score at two and three eighths and four and three quarters and then along the four and three quarter side you're going to score okay and then you want to cut yourself the patterns that you use and how you have them obviously is up to you but in total you're going to want six pieces of two and a quarter squared so I'm going to have these four here along the outside of the box this is going to go on the top with my flower it's actually the reverse side of this because it's a pearlized cardstock I just saw the plain pearlized look really nice and then to get that effect I just scored it every one eighth of an inch one way and then rotated and scored again the other and then this one which looks wonky which I have to cut again that's going to go inside and then I fussy cut this you are lovely little tag from one of the papers in that pad I've also got some ribbon and then I've got this little piece here which is for the little flap at the front and that's two and a quarter by three quarters of an inch so that's everything that you need so first of all you want to fold and burnish all of your score lines next you want to make sure you've got your one inch section at the top your half inch section on the right hand side you're going to remove all of this part here I'm just going to do this so it's easy I'm going to cut it all out and show you as well but I just think it's easier this way and then you're also going to remove this bit here and this bit here so we're just keeping this this is all of the base these are the four sides this is going to be our tab and this is the top with the little flap which is this piece here which is that up the top there so first of all I'm going to turn it around this way so you can see it much better and you've got your half inch piece and your one inch piece on the bottom and you're going to cut up this second one and you're going to cut to the second score line so pass this one that's that one like so and then I'm just going to fold that under grab my longer scissors and then I'm going to cut all the way along and if I just lay that down now get in your half inch tab your one inch tabs at the top you can see all of that section that I've removed next I'm going to cut up this one here and then I'm just going to take a little wedge off like so and then this one I'm just going to cut in slightly on an angle and then come down and just remove all of that I'm actually taking away the score line on this piece so then you put something like this make sure that little tabs on your right hand side you're then going to cut up all of these score lines just to the first score line next the second one in just fold away from you that's going to be the last one you stick down so these three here just take a little wedge off of each corner so that they all fold in and by doing this it just keeps the bottom of the box nice and tidy okay so that's now the shape you should have next we're going to add some glue on this little tab here and then I'm going to turn it over bring this square this whole piece over and then just bring that one over and you'll see it will all line up just make sure that's all secure okay so now you can already see we're getting our box and the join is now at the back you see in there so this is going to come over on the front so just means all of this looks nice that's the square the solid square that you didn't cut into so just fold that away and then you want to start sticking these down so I always like to fold the back one down first I'm going to use my stronger glue now for the base just cover that stick one side in stick the other one over and then I'm going to add the glue now onto this one just close that and you'll see it conceals everything you just get a much neater base to your box flip it over grab something that you can pop inside and just spread all that glue out okay so that is now the box so far next you want to go to this piece which is your reveal part and along the short side you want to cut straight down to the first score line like so then rotate and do the same at the opposite end okay and then it doesn't matter which one you put over which but before you do that one of these needs to be your base so I'm going to go for this one here and I'm just going to pop two pencil marks kind of in the middle and then you know wherever you want them to go really and then with my hole punch that one doesn't fit I use the big bite just going to punch through those like so and you want to get your ribbon through now as well it's much easier to do it while it's all flat now I forgot you actually want to stick your piece of pattern taper down but this is going to be two and one eighths by two and one eighth the piece in here because the squares are slightly smaller so I'm just going to stick that over the top and then just repunch the holes what I would suggest if you are making this and you don't know what you're going to pop in there yet is just keep your ribbon quite long just so that you know you're going to have enough to go around your gift so I'm just going to do quite a big bow there and that way I know I've got enough okay and then you're going to add glue to the back here actually doesn't really matter which one you stick down whether that one goes over or this one it really doesn't matter you want to fold it over like so so you start to get the corner there so and I'll do the same on this one just so it looks neat okay so you've got something shaped like this just give that a minute to dry now how you cut the sides of this is up to you you can see here I've actually cut a curve shape but if you would rather just cut straight across from that corner to that corner you can do but again I'm going to add a little curve into my make sure I don't cut my ribbon so just start from the corner kind of just eyeball something like that like so okay next you're going to attach this to the box so just make sure the ribbon piece is at the bottom so I'm going to add my glue over the back here and just sit that and because it's just slightly smaller it will fit perfectly behind that lid and just test it you'll see there now mine's catching so I need to do my curve shape not so big so I'm just going to bring that in a bit more if you've just gone straight across then you won't have that problem there we go that fits perfectly so okay and just give that a minute to dry okay and then next I'm going to stick my pattern paper on all four sides here and then this goes on the top along with the flower and this sentiment goes in the back just here so that's everything stuck down that's really sweet and then I'm just going to add a couple of Velcro dots and just grab my two little pairs there you could do one larger one if you want and I'm going to pop a pair there and a pair just there and then just let them kind of grab and then I like to carefully prise them apart making sure they stick to both sides like so so make sure that that's right there we go but then you can just really push down on those Velcro dots now it closes up perfectly so there's my very cute mini lift and reveal boxes I think they make adorable party favours I think they would look lovely as maybe like a bridal shower as well because they're not too they don't take too long to make so you could definitely batch make these in no time really I think they're adorable and they're going to work for so many occasions definitely be using these for Christmas and the medium-sized one was a Christmas decorated version anyway so check out the playlists I'll show you how I've decorated the tops differently and like I said there's the large medium
