Make this elegantly spooky Easy Skewed Asymmetrical Box to hold lots of sweets, tricks or other treats! No die needed for the box construction. The box comes together quickly and can even hold a gift card. And check out the skull wax seal. Let’s get started.

Cut and score the fabulous Regal Winter Designer Series Paper as noted above. Score on all of the score lines and determine which side of the paper will be on the outside. Then cut, notch and add Tear N Tape as shown in the diagram below.
Pull the narrower front panel with the tab over to the left and adhere. Press in the sides, centering the panel and flatten.
Remove the backing on the two short end tabs and fold in. Fold in the back panel. Remove the backing and fold in the bottom front panel and press to adhere. Use a bone folder inserted into the box to adhere the two short tabs.
Fill box with goodies. Wrap a length of Night of Navy Glittered Ribbon around the box and tie in a giant fluffy bow.
decorating the box
Make a wax seal with steel blue wax beads and a brass skull stamp. I purchased my supplies on Amazon — see links on My Favorite Things page. Use blending brushes to add Highland Heather and Night of Navy inks to scraps of Basic White cardstock. Diecut small foliage images from the scraps. Punch a circle from a scrap of Basic White cardstock and adhere the foliage and wax seal with glue dots. Then pop up on dimensionals and add to front of box.
