1.     Instead of making a milk carton, I made a box.  Or you could make it a pop-up to mail if you cut off the bottom white pieces, but I chose not to. I started by scoring the four sections. 

2.    With the Paper Snips, cut the Petal Pink section to the middle score line, but do not score the Petal Pink sections (milk carton).  Also, cut off the small 1/2” Petal Pink Gingham leaving only the ½” green flowery end.  This is where you will add your Tear and Tape (but on the white side and not on the ½” green flowery end).  Your outside box will be the white and decorated side goes on the inside.

3.    Glue the bottom white sections of the box with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

4.    For the outside of the box, cut three 2-1/2” x 2-1/2” of the flowery green design paper from the slimline cards to adhere to the two sides and front of the white box with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

5.    On the back, cut 2-1/2” x 4-1/2” of the flowery green design paper to give the back support so that it doesn’t bend down.  The three front Petal Pink Gingham will fold down to decorate with the bunny/chick, daffodils.  The ribbon is tied into bows where the holes are already in the Petal Pink gingham paper.

6.    Ink up a label with sentiment “Happy Easter and attach to the back section of the box.

7.    The inside, cut two or three strips at ¾” x 3-1/2” and score ½” on each end and place scored ends with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  Cut create from kit and flowers and attach with Glue Dots.
