"Completed it in a day. Super quick and easy. I did have to omit the v-st in between the 3 dbl, ch 3 sts. ch 2 in between instead ,Because of the 2 strands of super bulky wt yarn i used. Used Loops and Threads ZOOMBA and and smaller hook. I needed some fun color for mine )."

"Are you having a family cookout and want some cute way to display your desserts than why not make some of these DIY cake platters. They are so quick and easy to make and you can use a plate and bowl or coffee cup of your own or pick some up from the dollar store. I love that you can paint them the color you choose."

"It really does remind me of a spirograph drawing! I used to love to make patterns with our old one. One of my young granddaughters enjoys things like that and I think she would really like this, so I need two print of them, one for me and one for her."

Materials List
  • Cards
  • Glue
  • Paper Trimmer, or craft knife and ruler
  • Embossing Tool, or dead ball point pen
Instructions
  1. Cut the cards in half along the fold line.
  2. Emboss a border around the card about 1" from the edge. It can be wider if you need a deeper box. It's only important that the border be the same size all the way around.
  3. Make one cut at each corner from the outer edge to the spot where the embossed lines cross.
  4. Fold all edges to the back.
  5. Glue tabs to sides on the inside to create the box top.
  6. Create the box bottom from the other side of the card. For a neater fit, make the border about 1/16" wider.
  7. Add ribbon, or any other embellishments you may have.
  8. Use as a gift box for a gift, or add to your holiday decorations!
