Satchel Box

I was looking through Pinterest when I found this box. I went to the website for the box, but it was in another language so I had to figure things out on my own.

Here is what I used to make this box:

Yellow CS 4 1/2" x 11" - score long side at 2", 3 1/2", 8", and 9 1/2"

Green CS 4" x 5" - score long side at 1" and 2 1/2"; slightly round the end after the last score line

Green CS 4" x 7" - score long side at 1" and 2 1/2"

Attach double sided tape or glue the bottom underside of the 1" scored section of the 4" x 7" piece.

Attach this to the inside of the yellow CS as shown.

Attach double sided tape or glue to the inside portion of the 1" scored section of the 4" x 5" piece.

Adhere this to the outside of the yellow CS as shown. For picture purposes, I folded the first green CS to the inside of the yellow CS.

Cut two 1" x 4" pieces of green CS and adhere with double sided tape or glue to the sides of the box. Add your eyelets. Note: If using brads, you can place the ribbon between the two pieces of CS, pierce a hole, and insert a brad. You can also wait to add the side pieces and ribbon until the box is completed.

Adhere double sided tape or glue to the yellow flaps of the box and adhere them to the front green flap.

Using an oval punch, punch the center of the front for easy access to cards or goodies you place inside.

This is what the inside of the box should look like at this point.

Punch two 1" circles out of the yellow CS. Using a paper piercer, place one circle on the front flap and pierce through the circle and the flap; attach the circle with a brad. 

Close the flap to find the placement for the other circle and pierce a hole; attach the circle with a brad.

Add your ribbon and the box is complete! 

The finished box measures 4" x 1 1/2" x 4 1/2".

Embellish as desired. Mine has yet to be embellished - waiting to discover where its new home will be and for what reason (birthday, thinking of you, get well, etc).

Hope you have a great day! :)
