-You will need one piece CS or Designer Paper 7" x 11"
-Score on 11" side as indicated below (1", 1", 3-1/4", 1" 1", 3-1/4", 1/2").
If you have a Score-pal, then score on the 11" side: 1", 2", 5-1/4", 6-1/4", 7-1/4", 10-1/2. Turn paper to short side: score 2"
-Cut (for flaps) as indicated on the photo below
-Punch 1/8" holes:
- at top: 1/2" down, 1/4" to the right, 1/4" to the left
- at bottom: 1/2" up from the bottom fold, 1/2" in toward the center.
- hint: for the left hole, fold up the side flap to get punch in far enough.
-Also needed:
- 1 Scallop Envelope (Big Shot die)
- 1 Top Note (Big Shot die): score 2-3/8", 1/2". Cut away the rest of the top note (indicated by the black diagonal lines) to ensure final width to be 3-1/4" wide.
-Cut (2) 7-1/2" long 5/8" wide Grosgrain ribbon. Thread ribbon through holes (do not knot ends - it will be too bulky). See photo below: add snail to box and position bottom ribbon ends, about 1", toward the center. Top ribbon ends, about 1", are positioned toward the sides.
-Add sticky tape for box bottom flaps as shown in photo.
-Cut (1) 3-1/4" long x 5/8" wide Grosgrain ribbon for loop - see photo below for a close-up. Use sticky tape to position ribbon.
-Next: Using Sticky tape, line Top Note to inside top of box. This will cover the unsightly ribbon ends.
-After attaching the Top Note, turn paper over: with sticky tape, attach Scallop Envelope with flap on the outside. I added (a filigree brad in the 2/4 post) a dimensional under the flap. I used Velcro for closing the Top Note flap. Before final Back Pack assembly - your box should look like the photo below.
