Ribbon Dispenser Box

Step 2 Cutting out your box pieces

For this step you will need the illustration board, cutting mat, ruler and craft knife.

Lay your board out on the cutting mat and position your ruler to create the dimensions listed below. Hold the ruler tight to the board and make multiple light passes with your craft knife until you feel the cutting mat underneath. Because many of the dimensions repeat, you can always use the first piece cut as a stencil for the next, just be careful not to shave anything off of your first piece.

You will need a total of 18 pieces to complete this box.
DIMENSIONS:
[2] Top and bottom - 10 5/8" X 4 1/2"
[2] Front and back - 10 5/8" X 3 1/4"
[2] Left and right - 4 3/8" X 3 1/4"
[12] Dividers - 4 3/8" X 3"

NOTES: The easiest and safest way to cut illustration board is to use multiple light cuts. This way, you get a clean cut, but if your edge turns out ragged, you can always sand it down with a little sandpaper.
