Dress Up Bitty Box

I have seen several ideas using the Dress Up Framelits as a Bitty Gift Box.  Here is my version:

This box is 1 inch square and will hold a lipstick, a thin body splash, rolled up $$$$ or candy.  Cute for Mother's Day, Birthdays or Party Favors.

Step by step directions:

Cut 2 dresses in Solid card stock and 2 in Designer paper.  Emboss the Designer paper with your favorite Embossing folder.
Cut a piece of card stock 4 1/4 X 2 1/2.  Score every inch, turn and score at 1/2 inch.  Cut slits as shown, these form your box flaps.  You can make a larger box, but it will show more between your dress forms. Add a piece of Sticky Strip to the 1/4 inch flap.

Fold on 1 inch score lines and adhere the flap inside the box.  Fold in 2 bottom flaps.  Add Sticky Strip to the remaining 2 flaps and press down to form box bottom.

Use the cropodile to punch holes for ribbon ties in box sides.  On the Front and Back add Sticky strip.  Adhere card stock Dresses to the Front and Back.  Use Tombow adhesive to adhere Designer paper Dresses.

Tie 1/8 Very Vanilla Taffeta ribbon thru side holes, or leave ribbon off.  I used a single piece of Flower trim on each side.  Love it!!

Here is a flip side of the same sheet of paper with Marina Mist card stock....
