* Photo Paper
* Blue Gingham Ribbon
* Small Box (5.5 x 5.5 x 2.5 inches)
* Super Tape Adhesive
* Scissors
* Spray Fixative

Directions
1. Measure lid of box. Mine measured 4.5 x 4.5 inches, and the sides were about a half inch. The document you create will need to be slightly larger.

2. Open document, mine measures 5.5 x 5.5 inches.

3. Arrange pieces to taste. Keep in mind that you’ll want most pieces on the top of the box, so arrange accordingly.

4. Print.

5. Measure side of box. Mine measures 4.25 x 3 inches.

6. Open a new document, doubling your measurements. My document measures 8.5 x 6 inches.

7. Divide your document with guidelines into fourths.

8. Arrange pieces to suit your needs.

9. Print.

10. Trim all pieces.

11. Using Super Tape (I LOVE THIS STUFF), adhere all pieces to the box.

12. Add ribbon to top of box to create a finishing touch.

FYI- I totally MESSED up my box by using Mod Podge. The Mod Podge shrank the printed layer of the paper, leaving interesting gaps I would use a spray fixative instead. Lesson learned. :)
