Directions for the Pot of Gold


Yesterday I showed you a 3 dimensional Pot of Gold As promised, I wrote up some directions in case you want to make your own.  

The pieces you will need.

  Once you cut your pieces you will need to score and trim.
To make the box, fold on score lines and adhere the ends with sticky strip. Then add sticky strip to the sides and adhere to one of the trimmed circles.
The top of the box should line up with the top of each circle. 

Trim the strip of cardstock at an angle for a finished look.
I added the handle by piercing a hole in each side and attaching with a brad. I don't have a photo but if you refer to the finished product, you can see how it looks.

I hope this helps.
