Hi Everyone!!
I am so excited to be back with some fantastic tutorials in stead of Dies all the time! So lets kick it off with this amazing Cantilever box!! I have made mine in a Christmas theme but you can do yours whatever style you prefer. I LOVE this box & trust me!! Its no where near as hard as it may look!!!
I have split the tutorial into 2 parts, only because i wanted to take my time and make sure you understand how to make this box. I would say the time consuming part is cutting out all the little mats & layers etc. The actual construction of the box is pretty quick and simple. Part 2 will either be on tonight or tomorrow.
So below i am going to list the dimensions for part 1 of the tutorial, just the parts i made in that video. I don't want to overwhelm you with measurements and i will get sore fingers from all the typing lol. The rest of the measurements will be on part 2 of the tutorial so there will be 2 Blog posts, Part 1 & part 2.
