Instructions
- I assembled the bear and cloud in my application, created a white shadow layer and did a print n cut, but if you don’t want or can’t do a pnc just cutout all the pieces and assemble.
- I duplicated the bear and did a mirror image so if you turn the box around the bear is on the back also.
- On the tall cylinder you don’t need the flaps on the bottom; either in your program or with a paper trimmer cut them off. Also Disregard the two circle pieces, you don’t need them. Glue together to form your cylinder.
- You need two top pieces, (a lid and bottom), ungroup and break to get rid of the cutout in the middle, they should be solid. They also need to be cut down, height should be ¾” assembled, so either in your program or with a paper trimmer cut off the remainder to shorten.
- You can now glue your cylinder into your bottom piece.
- Cutout and assemble the lid_handle piece from Happy Trails, this is what the bear gets glued to, (I cut some off, with the print n cut you could see through a little.)
- Put your lid on, cut out front label and decorate.
Design Tips
- I love stitching but don’t always have the time to pull out my sewing machine, use a gel pen or marker. For those with print n cut abilities add a shadow inset to your piece and change the lines to dashes, perfect stitches!
- I use my glue gun or sticky glue strip for the acetate; it’s less noticeable and holds very securely.
- Silhouette Studio Designer Edition and Make The Cut both have a knife tool but for eCal I use a thin rectangle and stretch along what I want cutoff and select both go to path, front minus back, break apart and delete the piece I don’t want.
This project can be used for any occasion or season. Add some balloons on top for a birthday with a cupcake inside or a snowman with some marshmallows and cocoa. How about a little bunny with some chocolate for Easter? So many cute ideas, have fun!
