Day 10 - Holiday Tissues Boxes




 

Holiday Tissue Boxes
Created by OMC Designer Sandy

Supplies Used:
Tissue box 5 x 5½ inch size, remove protective cardboard from center of box
OMC Vinyl : Silver Flake, Sky Blue Flake and White, Transfer Tape
Sizzix : eclips Seasonal Cartridge (any holiday cartridge will work)
Martha Stewart : Utility Bone folder or Tonic Studios: Retractable Knife

We R Memory Keepers : Magnetic Mat and Ruler

Instructions:
1. Trim a 12" x 24" sheet of silver vinyl to 18 inches using We R Memory Keepers Magnetic mat and ruler. Then trim a 18" x 5½" strip of silver vinyl. Next, trim a 5" x 5" square from the first vinyl remnant piece.
2. Remove liner from vinyl from 5" x 5" square and center the over the top of the box and smooth out. Fold excess vinyl over the edge tucking in the corners.
3. Carefully remove about 10 inches of liner from vinyl and center over side of box (lay box on its side) and continue smoothing vinyl in place as you work around the side of the box (there should be enough vinyl that if it gets a little crooked it won’t matter. Because of the sparkling glitter the seam will not show so just let it wrap all the way around the box.
4. Fold bottom overhang of vinyl to bottom of box and smooth out.
5. With a craft knife, carefully trim away excess vinyl from the top so the sides and the top are flush.
6. Cut words and icons according to chart:

7. Cut a box around icon with craft knife. Weed around and remove excess vinyl from icon. Pick out any centers. Apply transfer tape to top piece of vinyl and burnish. Lift transfer tape and icon from liner and lay over top of shadow and center. Once the position is correct, press firmly down on shadow and burnish. Lift edge of transfer tape and remove from liner (both pieces should be stuck to the transfer tape) then center on each side of box. Repeat process for all four sides.
 
8. Make sure to position the words on the front of the box and not where there is a seam.
