Tutorial - Tea box



I dag vil jeg vise hvordan du kan lage en åpen te eske. Denne tar seg godt ut på frokostbordet, eller er en perfekt liten gave. Om du ikke er en te drikker, så gjør det ingenting. Jeg har laget målene på denne esken til å passe små kaffeposer med cappuccino ol. også. Og liker du ikke kaffe heller, så fyll esken med sjokolade, eller hva du måtte ønske:)

Størrelsen på esken er lett å tilpasse det du vil. Lag grunnflaten til esken i den størrelsen du vil, og følg den samme fremgangsmåten.
Du får noen eksempler helt til slutt.

*******
Today I want to show you how to make an open tea box. It will look great on your breakfast table, or it is a perfect little gift. Not much of a tea drinker? Don`t worry, I have made the size of this box to also fit the small coffee bags of cappuccino etc. Not too fond of coffee either? Fill the box with chocolate or whatever you like:)

The size of this box is easy to adjust. Just make the bottom of the box the size you need, and then follow the steps of my tutorial.
I will give you some examples in the end.

______________________
Start med kartong 14cm / 22,5cm.
Preg 4cm inn fra alle sider, og klipp inn hakk som du ser på bildet.
Jeg har sotet alle kanter på både innsiden og utsiden med Distress Ink – Vintage Photo.

*******
Start with 14cm / 22,5cm cardstock.
Score 4cm in from all four sides, and cut it like you see in my picture.
I have distressed all edges on both sides with Distress Ink – Vintage Photo.


Her har jeg valgt mønsterpapiret jeg vil bruke. Mitt papir er fra Pion Design – Sagan om våren.
Utvendig trenger du : 14cm / 3,5cm – 2stk
                                 5,5cm / 3,5cm – 2stk
Innvendig trenger du: 14cm / 3,5cm – 1stk
                                 5,5cm / 3,5cm – 2stk
                                14cm / 5,5cm – 1stk

*******

Now I choose my Patterned paper. I will use papers from Pion Design.
On the outside you need: 14cm / 3,5cm – 2pcs
                                        5,5cm / 3,5cm – 2pcs
On the inside you need: 14cm / 3,5cm – 1pcs
                                      5,5cm / 3,5cm – 2pcs
                                    14cm / 5,5cm – 1pcs

 


Her er utsiden dekorert.

******
Here I have decorated the outside.





På innsiden dekorerer jeg først bunnen og de to kortsidene.

******

On the inside I start by decorating the bottom, and the small sides.


Så limer jeg esken sammen ./ Now I glue the box together.
 

Så limer jeg på langsiden, og skjøtene blir skjult.

*******
Now I add the long side, that will hide the edges.




Til ryggen bruker jeg en Spellbinder dies, og jeg kutter bare toppen av papiret.
Jeg klipper papiret til målene 11,5cm / 13,5cm. Da får jeg plass til et panel rundt.
Hvis du som meg liker å dekorere baksiden også, så kutter du til en maken papirbit. Høyden på denne trenger ikke være mer enn 7,5cm.

*******
For the back of the box I use a Spellbinder dies, but I only cut the top of my paper.
Cut the paper to fit these dimensions: 11,5cm / 13,5cm. Now you have room for a panel around the paper.
If you are like me and like to decorate the backside as well, then make a second paper like this. The hight of this one doesn`t have to be more than 7,5cm.



Jeg limer papiret til en kartong….

*******
Now I glue the paper on some cardstock….

 


…og klipper fasongen rundt for hånd med en god saks.

*******
..and cut the shape by hand with a good scissor.

 

Til bunnen bruker jeg ”around the page” puncher fra Martha Stewart.
Kartongen min er 6 ¾” / 3 ¼” før jeg puncher.

*******
For the bottom I use ”around the page” punches from Martha Stewart.
The cardstock is 6 ¾” / 3 ¼” before punching.

 


Jeg pynter ryggens forsiden før jeg limer den på esken. Her har jeg tatt dobbeltsidig teip på den nederste delen av ryggen.

*******
I decorate the back panel before I attach it to the box. Here I have added double sided tape to the lower part of the back.

 

Fest ryggen til esken…

*******
Attach the back to the box….

 

..og lim på mønsterpapir om du vil.

********
..and add patterned paper if you like.

 

Det var det hele. Her er det ferdige resultater.

******
That was all. Here is my tea box completely finished.



Her har jeg laget en maken eske som passer til kaffe.

*******
Here I have made a same sized box, fit for coffee.







Jeg lovet noen flere eksempler.

Her er en eske som passer til to mini kubbelys.
Kartong: 16cm / 12cm
Preg 4 cm inn fra alle sider.

******

I promised you some more examples.

This box fits two mini candles.
Cardstock: 16cm / 12cm
Score 4cm in from all four sides.




Min siste eske passer til store telys.
Kartong: 14cm / 14cm.
Preg 4cm inn fra alle sider.

*******

My last box fits big taelights.
Cardstock: 14cm / 14cm
Score 4cm in from all four sides.



Jeg håper dere likte tutorialen min:)

I hope you all enjoyed my tutorial:)
