I got all my cardboard cut out today along with the gusset template. Just to make sure Lesley, the 5" measurement on the gusset is the actual side on an angle and not down the center...correct??
So far...I have only a messy room, so the only blame you get so far is that you made it too darn tempting not to try to make one!

Elle, thanks for letting me know about this post, because somehow I missed it when LaceLady posted the tutorial.
Your box came out just beautiful!! What a lovely gift idea.
LaceLady, thank you for posting this tutorial. I have bookmarked it and will definately make one. My sister would love this as a gift and I have just the material for it. Now as to when I can get to it, that is another matter. LOL

If you glue two gussets to alternate sides, you can use your clothes pegs to help them stick, and straight pins to help nearer the base of the box. Once those three sides have their gussets attached and dry, then tackle the other three alternate sides. This time you can only use pegs at the top corners, and you need to use straight pins along the sides, pushed into the card to achieve good adhesion.

Thanks Lesley. I haven't made it any further yet. I had to start dragging out all my Christmas decorating and have that spread all over the house. I'm going to get back to the box as soon as I can though. Thanks for the further explanation on the gussett... :D

You know we like it really, well all the goodies anyway, it is all the organising,cleaning, present buying and wrapping, food shopping and cooking, decorating, card writing and a myriad of other things that take up our time beforehand that really gets in the way.
