1.2. Instructions

  • Step 1: Cut paper using the printable pattern or SVG cut file.
    • With the pattern in PDF, you can print and cut out the free printable pattern. Cut off the pattern pieces and trace them onto the reverse of your decorative paper. To make the heart window, cut each piece out with an X-Acto knife and cut matte.
    • If you have a cutting machine, you may cut out the box using the SVG cut file. Import the file into Cricut Design Space, then “ungroup” the picture. Change the “cut” to “score” lines in the bright pink lines. They will become dashed lines. Choose one of the pieces and the score lines that match it and “attach” them.
  • Step 2: Mark the fold lines: You need to score all of the fold lines. To obtain lovely, crisp fold lines, use a scoring board and a stylus.

  • Step 4: Apply adhesive to the tabs: You can use glue or double-sided tape to adhere the tabs. If your paper is double-sided, make sure you apply the glue on the right side. After that, run a strip of tape along the tabs and cut out the little triangles.
  • Step 5: Fold the paper along the score lines: Fold the two squares at the end of the tabs as well as the scoring lines. They will overlap to form the bottom of the heart box.
  • Step 6: Assemble the heart box’s bottom: At the ends of each side portion of the box is a square part. Let’s add adhesive to the square that doesn’t have tabs. Then, you layer the two squares to connect the two side pieces.
  • Step 7: Attach the heart box’s front and back to the bottom square part. After that, you attach the box’s sides to the front and back, curling them to match the shape of the hearts. Finally, let’s overlap the two pieces at the top of the basket to secure it.
