Pootles’ Beehive Box Tutorial using Stampin’ Up! DSP
Squeeeeeeaaaaak!!!!
Oh I am so excited about how this box has turned out!
I created a prototype of it months ago, but never quite got around to deciding what DSP to use on it. I guess I must have somehow known in advance that Stampin’ Up! were going to be bringing out the ideal papers in the form of Bees!
The look of that paper is just perfect on these, and while there is little else going on in the decoration, I don’t think it needs anything more does it?
Modeled on a Burts Bees box, I can’t take credit for the shape or design of it, but I hope you like that I’ve turned their box into an easily(ish!) repeatable box!
I hope you enjoy the chattery video, and forgive that I took a photograph of the one side with wonky paper….

This box is fabulous and unique, I’ve never seen one like it, love it Sam. The closure is a bit more involved but the results are lovely.
Thank you for sharing.
Love it, and of course this is my favorite dsp!! tfs!
Just luv it, luv it, luv it and that is both for the box and bee paper! This is a definite make for my table top sale and I shall put some little pots of honey or honeycomb inside! Thank you so much! Beautiful!
I love this box. Great tutorial. Will be making this one in my 3-d class.
Beautiful box !!!!! I asked for this type of box and you delivered !!!! you are a genius, thank you !!!!
I love this bee paper too! Great box! Thanks, Sam!
this box is so cute. I have elongated it a bit to fit a larger size votive in it!
so cute.
love your ideas!
I made a box with the other type of opening you mentioned once for a baby toy that had a cylindrical shape. When you roll it, it goes so far then returns to you! It was the perfect shape for it. I added a tag using the old Teddy and Train set! Really miss Bashful Blue. Stamped it with old Polka Dot BG Stamp. I’ll send you a picture!
Hi Pootles, I was so inspired by your Beehive box, I created a lantern for a recent shoebox swap. I gave you credit and a link on my blog and I wanted to let you know! I hope you don’t mind. Have a great day!
