Botanical Planter Box

Welcome to Punchin' Up!

Wooden Flower Box

Today I'm posting a project that I did for my "Open House" using some of the New 2016-2018 In-Colors.  My customers love it so much that they wanted to make one, so we did it at my Stampin' Up! Club.  They all went home with an awesome Planter Box filled with beautiful flowers. 

Best of all....

 it folds up (as seen below) and you can send it in a regular A-2 envelope 

I have seen many of these type of Planter boxes, but they were always a lot bigger than what I wanted so I made a smaller version.  I have posted the measurements below so you can make one too.

Enjoy!!!

Cardstock Measurements:

 2 - 5"x 2"   sides of the planter box - scored at 2 1/2"

4 - 3 1/3"x 1"  corner posts - scored at 1/2" down the long side

The planter box sides are glue in the middle of each corner post leaving 1/2" at the top and bottom of each post.

4 - 3 1/2"x 1 3/4"  inserts to attach the flowers - scored at 1/2" on each end of the long side  (as seen in the picture below) The inserts are even with the bottom sides of the planter box which leaves 1/4" below the sides at the top.  This way you don't see the inserts once you attach the flowers to the top.
