With Mother's Day in the US coming up on May 12th it is the perfect time to create something and enter it in our challenge!
For my project I created a Faux Wood Farmhouse style crate from just one piece of 12" by 12" cardstock and decorated it with faux flowers.
I created a YouTube video showing the process and all the directions are over there in the description box so you can follow along with me.
Project Recipe:
1 12" by 12" piece of cardstock
4" by 6" canvas from the Dollar Tree for the base (you can use cardstock or chipboard instead if you like)
Scor-Pal 1/8ths board
Scor-Tape
Ink for distressing
Floral Foam
Flowers and Greenery
Chalk board sign
Cut your cardstock into 2 pieces measuring 5" by 8" and 2 at 4" by 5".
Lay the 5" by 8" on the Scor-Pal board and but the shorter side to the top. Score at 4" and flip over the other side, still with the shorter side at the top, score at 1", 2" and 3", this will form the "boards" on the side of the crate. Flip the cardstock over again and the align the longer side to the top and score at 1" and 7". Repeat for the other piece the same size. At the bottom of the longer snip up to the 1" score line where the scores intersect and form a square, this will create a flap that makes it easier to fold to create the base. Burnish the 1" score lines that will form the flaps that attach the sides together.
With the smaller piece align on the Scor-Pal with the 5" side at the top, score at 4" and flip over, keeping the longer side at the top, score at 1", 2" and 3", repeat with the other piece, burnish the 1" flap on both.
Assemble the crate using Scor-Tape to attach the 4 sides together, Add the canvas as the base, it should fit perfectly inside. Add ink if desired to distress the joints and score lines that form the board on the crate.
Arrange flowers in the floral foam and add to the crate along with the sign.
I really hope you liked this, we have some fabulous projects from the team this month, please be sure to drop by and check them out and enter your "Floral Fantasy" at More Than One Score at Scor-Pal
