Scallop Top Itty Bitty Box captures the hearts of recipients everywhere. This teeny tiny box with a cute scallop top makes a perfect container for giving little gifts.
While only being 2½” by 1½” , this little box is adorable. Since I was crafting with my granddaughter, everything had to have mermaids or fairies on it. Magical Mermaids stamp set has a perfect little mermaid silhouette to decorate the front of this box. Because this box (?) goes together quickly it is perfect for making multiples.

- Burnish all the scorelines.
- Cut on the solid lines creating tabs on the bottom and the right side.
- Use a strong Adhesive on the narrow tab. Attach box together with the tab.

Here is a side view of my version. The Eastern Palace Thinlits has a nice little flourish to frame the circle with the Mermaid in it. Next I sponged the circle with Lemon Lime Twist ink and added Wink of Stella to the mermaid as finishing touches. Finally I also added some smokey translucent dots with some Nuvo Jewel Drops. Who should I gift this darling little box to? Maybe it will be you. Let me know and I will send this one on to a new home.
