Take the white paper cut in step 1. Make the folds as in the diagram below: 

You can scallop (or tear or make any other form) on the side of 8cm (after scalloping = 7.5cm).

You have then to fold the bottom or staple it, or paste it (it will also add a strip of paper so that the staples or glue can not be seen after the fact).

It is normal to have a small gap/blank (background) which will not be sawn after pasting the piece of paper on top.

 

You can put a small brad at the top to well make hold the structure (or paste the entire height below the swag. I have not had to do that, this is just good with a brad) and a clip on the middle that will not be sawn when the box will be decorated, in order to properly maintain it.

Then you have to decorate it with paper and embellishments. To make a nice closure, do as follows:

Cut 3 rounds in different papers (or use different front back), no need to cut right round, the opposite!

Using the blade of a scissor (or sandpaper) scrape the edges of the rounds in a very rude manner, they will bend a little, that's what makes the charm. Put them on each other.

With the Crop-a-dile punch a hole (with the large hole) in the center of the 3 rounds.

Take the eyelet and the cord supplied in the kit, pass the rope behind the eyelet, making 2 rounds ...

Place the eyelet in the round and flatten it with the Crop-a-dile (if you do not have Crop-a-dile, try another tool, but it is better to do only one turn with the cord so that everything takes time to flatten the eyelet with a hammer for example).

Then make a knot, loosely. DO NOT CUT ABOVE THE REST OF CORD, let it hang as an embellishment.

When you've decorated the box (think of this embellishment before pasting!) made 1 or 2 turns with the rope, pass in the first round and tie a knot, then glue the round (or paste it first and go around and try to pass the string below, if possible.

Iil is difficult for me to properly explain this step (yet is very easy to do!). I've put the rounds on a 3D foam to give relief, and added some embellishments.

All details are on the mini blog (decoration). Thank you!
