Reinforced Rectangle Box

This box is cut and durable. It is made from cardstock and covered with our designer paper from the May kit, but we have also added chipboard on the inside to give it extra strength. I am making these for Mothers Day gifts. Below you will find the full tutorial as well as the measurements for this project.

Start with a piece of cardstock that is 12x9 inches, score on all sides at 1/2" and 3 1/2". You will cut away the 3 small boxes on all four corners, fold and burnish. 

Box top is a piece of cardstock cut at 7 1/8"x4 1/8" and score at 1/2" and 1" on all sides. Cut away the 3 boxes on the 4 corners and wedge the remaining tab. 

Chipboard is cut at:

Bottom 1 7/8"x4 7/8"

Sides 2 pieces at 5x2 7/8"

Ends 2 pieces at 1 7/8x2 7/8"

Chipboard for the top, 1 7/8x4 7/8"

Mats:
