Hey Guys,
You have been asking me for years to do a project like this and I finally got it done. I wanted to make sure I could bring it to you in a way that would be easy to make and I think I have.
All my measurements are below:
Boxes
You will need 24 pieces that are 4x7 inch card stock for the boxes.
Scored on the 4 inch side at 1 and 3
Scored on the 7 inch side at 1, 3, 4 and 6
For box placement sheets, you will need two pieces of card stock cut to 8 x 10 1/2 inches.
Scored on the 8 inch side at 1/2, 2 1/2, 3, 5, 5 1/2 and 7 1/2
Scored on the 10 1/2 inch side and score at 1/2, 2 1/2, 3, 5, 5 1/2, 7 1/2, 8 and 10 inches
Book
2 pieces of chipboard 8 1/4 x 10 3/4
Spine is 2 1/4 X 10 3/4
To cover your book card stock you need a piece that is 21 x 12 inches. Glue a 12 x 12 piece to a 12 x 10 1/2. Overlap the pieces 1 1/2 inches.
The inside cover piece for the spine is 4 x 10 3/4 inches
Box Top Decoration
Box tops base layer 1 3/4 x 1 3/4, scallop circles are 1 5/8 and the circles are 1 1/2

I can’t believe you made this! I’m so happy. I saw a picture of this advent calendar book about 3 weeks ago and was searching for instructions, especially for the boxes. I’ve tried making a couple but none of which I liked. Thank you for this tutorial – the boxes are perfect! As always May May comes through with beautiful easy to follow instructions. Thank you I’ll be making one tomorrow!!
