So follow me through the tutorial and you'll be on your way!! This is my first tutorial EVER so I hope it makes sense!!
Items you'll need.......
score-pal or other scoring tool
Hole punch
Eyelet setter
Papers, images and sentiment to decorate box
Embellishments to finish box
Jumbo eyelets and ribbon to close box.
Step 1: Score your cardstock on the short side at 2 1/2" and 6".
Step 2: Score your cardstock on the long side at 4 1/2" and 6 1/2".
Step 3: Fold along creases a few times.
Step 4: Fold the small edge of the horizontal crease up to the vertical crease. It will make a diagonal line in the cardstock.
Step 5: Repeat on all sides of the card stock.
Step 6: Create the box by following the score lines, then release box.
Step 7: Decorate the front of the box as desired. Be sure to leave room for the jumbo eyelet in the top center.
Step 8: Re-create box and hold upper edges together.
Step 9: Using your hole punch, punch through ALL layers of card stock.
Step 10: Add jumbo eyelets to the front and the back of the box.
Step 11: Tie box closed using ribbon.
Step 12: Finish box with any additional embellishments.
Then just fill and enjoy!!!!!

This looks very nice! I think I'll give it a try, even if I don't have a score pal. So I have to work it out in cm. When I succeed, I will post in on my blog...
