Ribbon Dispenser Box

Step 3 Plan your segments

For this step you will need the white charcoal pencil, metal ruler, one each of the 10 5/8" X 4 1/2" and 10 5/8" X 3 1/2" pieces of cut illustration board.

Starting with at the edge of the 10 5/8" X 4 1/2" piece, with the white pencil mark out 3/4" then 1/16", then 3/4" and so on. Please see the picture for details. You need to place 1/16" between your 3/4" because this is the width of the board you will place there to divide the sections. This piece will become the bottom of your box.

Line up the 10 5/8" X 3 1/2" piece with the marked bottom piece. On this new piece, you want to mark the center of the segments. Please see the picture for details. This will tell you where the notches will go that will feed your ribbon evenly out of the box. This piece will become the front of your box.

NOTE: If you are concerned about mixing up pieces, you may write the names of the box pieces (i.e. bottom, left, divider) on each piece in white pencil to help you keep them straight.
