STEP FIVE:  Make sure all scored lines fold easily and assemble stand.

 

 

STEP SIX: Decorated numbered boxes

Assemble 2 White Gift Boxes.  I cut patterned paper into 2-3/4" squares and adhered the paper to all six sides.  Then use the Big Shot and Large Numbers Framelits to cut numbers.  It doesn't really matter which side you put them on, but you do need to put specific numbers on each box.  Use the guide below.

STEP SEVEN:  Decorate the Stand

I cut patterned paper to 3/4" x 6-1-/2" and 4-1/4" x 6-1/4" to embellish the stand.  You can add stamps and die-cuts as well.

  1. Absolutely the cutest count down boxes. Love the Cookie Cutter dsp, it is so festive, fun and fabulous particularly for the little ones. I know several grandmothers who could become very popular if this appeared right at Christmas. Thanks for sharing your tutorial.
