Faux Wood Ankh Box

Well, I finished Rick Riordan's Red Pyramid. You can read my review here if you're interested. I decided to do at least 2 more Egyptian inspired boxes. This is the first one using one of my favorite templates. It's the slanted sides box that I've used in the past for stained glass effects.

This time I was trying for a faux wood effect inlaid with lapis lazuli and malachite.

I hope you enjoy it. Click on the images for the full sized 100 ppi files to print and assemble. This box really does need to be pre-folded before gluing or taping it together, but it makes a fairly generous sized box that's just really one of my favorites.

Pyramid Box

Rick Riordan's The Red Pyramid (The Kane Chronicles, Book 1) came out Tuesday. We all loved his Percy Jackson books, even my husband who picked one up that got left lying around and started reading it and then wound up finishing the series with us. I've just started reading Red Pyramid, after I finish,  the Turnip and Mike will read it.
The book inspired me to make this pyramid box, which is not red, but I do like how it turned out. It opens at the bottom, and needs to be scored carefully to fit together correctly. I did make the tab on the pyramid side big enough to use double stick tape with for quick assembly. It stands about 2.5 inches high and is 3 inches at it's base. I plan to do more with this template. The photo is a little darker than usual because using the flash washed out the colors very badly.

If you'd like the blank template, I posted it for sale in my Etsy shop. The template is 300 ppi, but if you want the web ready 100 ppi template as well, just let me know in notes to the seller.
