This pyramid box is from a template I got free at Stampingtons & Co
I knew I wanted to make it into a Christmas gift box
I used one of the triangles on the box and made a template.
I then picked out a decorative piece of scrapbook paper I had in my stash, and cut out 4 triangles.
These were glued to the box. Punch holes with a 1/2" hole punch through all 4 of the pyramid pieces, near the top.
The square on the top-I first cut it on in chipboard, then in 2 pieces of the scrapbook paper.Glue the paper on both sides.
Set aside.
Using my sizzix, I cut 6 filigree corners from glitter paper.
Glue 4 of them to the bottom center of each side. The other 2 I glued to 2 corners on the lid.
To add some pizzazz, I did a swipe of aged brass wax over the paper on each box side.
Using images from Gecko Galz digital sheets, Christmas Cuties + Christmas Haberdashery, cut 4 images for each side of the box.
Pop dots make them stand up on the box, and show up really well.
Now, depending on what you are going to use the box for, you can either use a 2-sided tape to glue the box sides together, ( after you have folded it), or just fold it up together and put the square piece over the top. I used the sticky tape.
I then added 2 pretty pointsetta 3d stickers to 2 corners of the box square.
Last but not least, cut a twig or a dowel, to fit thru the holes thru the top of the pyramid box as shown in pics.
I used a twig that I painted in copper metallic paint.
Put the twig thru the holes.
I then added a skeleton key charm, a copper tassel, + a glass bead drop, by using a gold twist tie.
You could use this box as a gift box, or by adding some pretty ribbon to the other 2 holes on the point of the pyramid, it could become a tree decoration. I glued Swarovski crystals to the holes.
