Tutorial for Christmas Tree Luminaire

As promised here is a tutorial (of sorts) regarding the making of my Christmas Tree Luminary. 

The pattern can be found BY CLICKING HERE. I enlarged it so the base of each triangle measured 2.5" instead of 2.25" but the pattern works "as is", if you prefer.
Note: If the link doesn't work please let me know - this is my first try with a .pdf file. And I am always open to suggestions. :)
Edited to Add: I changed the link. Should work now?? Sorry for the inconvenience!

1. Use the Square Scallop Duos Bigz die and Big Shot and cut 1 large square from Always Artichoke cardstock.

2. Punch a hole in the center with a 1 3/4" Circle Punch.

Set this aside for now.

1. Cut out the pattern for the triangle box and trim off all but 1/2" of the 2 large flaps.
2. Lightly trace the pattern on vellum. DO NOT trace the score lines.

3. Cut out the vellum 

4. Stamp randomly with Always Artichoke Craft Ink

5. Emboss with Clear Embossing Powder 

6. Fold where score lines would be.

7. Once it is folded, apply the Sticky Strip to the side flap and the 4 flaps on the bottom.

8. Remove the red protective strip from the SIDE ONLY and adhere the sides forming a triangle box.

9. Remove the red protective strips from the bottom flaps and center it on the square (Pretend the star and
Basic Pearls are not on it yet).

10. Stand the tree upright, if it isn't already, and embellish with Basic Pearls.

To make the Star: punch a star from Brushed Gold Cardstock and add a Vintage Brad surrounded by Basic Pearls. Fold down the back of the brad like this.

Cut a small slit in the top of the tree with a Hobby Blade and slip the prongs of the brad into the slit.

Now make the base with Brushed Gold Cardstock.

1. Die cut a Bitty Box using the Big Shot and Bitty Box and Envelope BigZ die.

2. Punch a hole in the top using the 1 3/4" Circle Punch.

3. Adhere the sides with Sticky Strip.

4. Tie a piece of 1/8" White Taffeta Ribbon around the base ending in a bow.

5. Place your Battery Operated Votive Candle in the center.

6. Place the Vellum Christmas Tree on the top. No need to apply adhesive - it should stay put. Plus you will need to turn the candle off and on.

I angled my tree over the box. It would look fine lined up straight if you prefer. 

If you make one I would love it if you would link back to me so I can see it!
