Welcome to week #4! This little baby was designed for those who have a Father/Husband who is a shop kind of guy. I thought it would be fun to put a gift card from Home Depot inside the toolbox, surrounded by some of his favorite little candies! I'm including a file for the tool box, the saw card, and the circle I did in vinyl for the card. I think the card is self explanatory, so I won't give instructions for that!
For the tool box. You're going to first cut the file in the bottom color you're going to use, so that the handles match the bottom. You are also going to use the square buckle file I included on a previous post for the closure. I didn't include it in this cut file, because i figured people would need to size it to fit the ribbon they use! I made it longer than wide and sized it so that the holes for the ribbon would be just shorter than the ribbon (to make sure it wouldn't come undone if the candy inside was heavy!). I folded it at 1.25 inches from every side and then again at 2.5 inches. You have two options...for the back fold, you can either tacky tape it so that is looks like the bottom of a box (and you will have to hinge the top and bottom together), or you can NOT tap it and use the flap to attach to the upper portion of the box and that will be your hinge. You can see pics to get a feel for what I mean.
You will cut the upper portion of the file after you delete the handles. Then just follow the same instructions! The handles will be adhered together on the half circle part. Then you tape the little parts to the top of the toolbox. Attach the buckle with brads, attach some ribbon, and you're done!
Here's a female version of the box. I used the hinges on this one, as was my original plan. But I don't always have hinges, so I thought I'd make the manly toolbox without to see if it would work out, which it did!
Hope you enjoy the new cut file!!
