I
couldn't for the life of me find any instructions or tips on how to fold
this hexagon "box"! I fiddled with scoring different lines and finally
got it to work. Artiste recommends 4", so that's what I used and it's
perfect for a gift card. I recommend cutting a "test pattern" out of
your "I'll never use this" pile of paper. I actually found out I didn't
want a busy pattern because you can't really see the snowflake.
You can cut this up to make a pattern to dress up the box.
This
is at 1/4, which I personally didn't like, so I made a change in my
cutting lines to 1/8". Do this same procedure to produce a pattern for
the bottom. Trace 6 arms and one bottom to the back of your designer
paper and adhere to the box. I colored my snowflake arms silver for a
little shine, and look at how nice it turned out!I'm entering this in the following Challenges:
