How To:
- Cut out a Mini Milk Carton from 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" card stock.
- Wheel design along carton base.
- Fold carton according to directions that come with the die. Adhere sides, base and half of top (the side opposite the spout) with Sticky Strip.
- Punch 1/8" hole in top close to spout. Tie ribbon through hole and knot. (For those of you not bow-challenged, you can tie a bow.)
- Stamp tag images and punch out with matching punch. Punch hole in top with 1/16" circle punch. Thread floss through tag and ribbon knot and tie off.
- Attach library clip as shown.
The new Bigz L Die fits almost exactly on the Standard Cutting Pads (#113475). I recommend using the Premium Crease Pad (#113476) to get the best fold lines. Without the Crease Pad, you run the risk of cutting through your folds.
