Vellum Pyramid Box

Who knew vellum was so versatile! This vellum stamped pyramid box is great for a unique handmade gift, or perfect for a special decoration for your own home.

Supplies

  • Grape Leaf Corner rubber stamp from Rubber Stampede
  • pigment inks:
    • gold
    • frosted white
  • Brushed Sage chalk ink
  • white pearl embossing powder
  • four 3/16" gold eyelets, eyelet setting tool
  • Paper Pizazz® 12" ivory vellum
  • two 4" gold tassels
  • four 5/8" wide round wood knobs with flat backs
  • foam sponge
  • paper towel
  • glue stick
  • bone folder
  • embossing heat tool

Instructions

  1. Place the left half of the vellum sheet on the pattern and lightly trace the solid brown line, then turn the vellum upside down and continue to trace the pattern onto the other side of the vellum (aligned with the dashed blue line on the pattern) to form a four-point shape.
  2. Randomly stamp Grape Leaf Corner in white ink onto the vellum, sprinkle embossing powder on top of the wet ink and heat set.
  3. Randomly sponge green and gold inks onto the vellum, then use the paper towel to gently blot the ink from the embossed areas. Allow the vellum to thoroughly dry.
  4. Attach an eyelet into each point as shown in the pattern. Use the bone folder to score along each red dotted line and fold the vellum into the box. Thread a tassel through two eyelets, knotting the ends on the inside, then glue the folded flaps together to seal the box.
  5. Sponge the knobs with gold ink; let dry. Glue the rounded side of a knob to each bottom corner of the pyramid so the flat surface rests on the table; let dry.
