Chipboard for the top is 11x11
Cardstock to cover the top is 12x12
Wrap this just as you would any box trimming the sides and gluing it together
Cardstock to finish off the hat on the bottom side is cut at 10 1/2x10 1/2 inch
Chipboard for the sides of the box and bottom is cut at 9 1/2x9 1/2 inches
Use your construction strips to put the box together, these are cut at 12x1 inch and scored in the center at 1/2 inch. Put your double sided adhesive on both sides of the score line. Place the folded side to the edge of the chipboard then the other side will glue the next piece of chipboard together. This is much easier if you watch the video.
I trip out the top of the hat box with chipboard that is cut at 9 1/2"x1 1/4" and then attached at the top edges to give strength and a place to place the magnets. You will need to place two pieces on and then measure the other two to go on the opposite sides. Again watching the video is much easier than trying to explain this.
I cut the opening of the hat at 3/4"x6 1/2" and then used my white marker to go around to make stitch marks.
The letters are from my stash, the chipboard glitter letter thickers
