Drag out those dark papers and lets get to making some Father's Day projects. I have a dark blue cardstock then a pattern paper that is blue and white stripe. I think this will look great for any man. The full tutorial is below as well as the measurements and template photos. Hope you enjoy and don't forget to share with us on our Facebook Page.

Shave/Toiletry Gift Box For Dad
You will need two pieces of cardstock that is cut to 8 1/4"x11 5/8" on the long side score at 3/4" and 3 3/4", turn to the right with your 3/4" score line at the top and score at 3", 7 1/4" & 7 3/4". Then go back and score at the 5 3/4" mark just down to the second score line. Turn the cardstock back where you first scored with the two double score lines at the top of the score board and at the 2 1/4" mark score just down to the second score line.
Now take your ruler and from the end of this score line that you just made score out to where the other score lines meet on both sides as shown in the photo below. Creating a triangle.
Then cut away the pieces as shown in the photo above.
Chipboard is cut at 7 3/4"x2 7/8" cover with your cardstock on one side and place in the bottom.
Mats for front and back are cut at 7 1/2"x4"
Create the rolled top by pulling out slowly on the ends where you made the triangles and fold down.
Now cut a piece of the cardstock that is 3/4"x2 3/4" you will need two of these, round one end and place your magnets on this end. Put a strong adhesive on the other end and glue under the triangle on the ends, then put the other magnet on the side of the box and you are finished. If you want to decorate with something else it is beautiful, or keep it simple as I did and just stamp a sentiment.
These boxes hold lots of goodness. Have fun and be creative.
