Craft an Easel!

Let's say you have a 3 x 5" photo or artwork and you want to display it on a table, dresser or mantelpiece. How can you do that easily?
Make yourself an Easel!

And put the two together as shown above.
They FOLD FLAT if you want to put them away or send them to your Grandmother in an envelope.

Steps:
1. The front panel and the back panel are the same size. Either use the same length and width as the photo -- or add borders of whatever size you want.

2. To mount a 3 x 5" photo -- cut a cardstock sheet to 10" x 3" and score in the center with your Boxmaker. See (A) above.

3. Cut a 3" x 6" cardstock sheet (B) for the base and score at 1", 3" and 5" from the left edge as shown.

4. Fold up as shown as glue together along the two bottom edges.

5. Use the same principle for any size photo or artwork. Your easel can be made out of one piece of cardstock or 2 pieces of cardstock glued together.

This pretty little gift box was made with the Regular and Curved Box Maker. 

The bottom of the box was covered with a Victorian design wrapping paper and the top was gold posterboard. I applied Chartpak Rub On Transfers Roses and Butterflies on the gold top.
