How Do You Make a Box on Silhouette Cameo?

Whether you’re creating a gift box, memory box or just a fun craft project, making a box on your Silhouette Cameo is easier than you might think. With the right tools and materials, you can easily create beautiful boxes that are perfect for any occasion. Here’s how to do it:

Gather Your Supplies

To start, you’ll need to have the following materials on hand:

  • Silhouette Cameo machine
  • Cardstock or other sturdy material for box base and lid
  • Silhouette cutting mat
  • Double-sided tape
  • Silhouette blades and tools
  • Scoring tool (optional)

Design Your Box in Silhouette Studio

Designing the Box Base:

The first step is to design your box base in Silhouette Studio. You can either draw out your own design or use one of the many templates available online.

Once you have the design complete, make sure to adjust your blade settings according to the type of material you are using. When cutting cardstock, use a lower blade setting for best results.

Cutting Out Your Box Base:

Once your design is ready, place it on your cutting mat and load it into your Silhouette Cameo machine. Make sure that all of your settings are correct before hitting “go”. This will help ensure that your box is cut out properly without any issues.

Assembling Your Box:

Once your box base has been cut out, it’s time to assemble it. Use double sided tape to secure all of the pieces together before folding them up into a box shape. If desired, you can use a scoring tool to create creases in order for the boxes to fold more easily.

Adding Finishing Touches:

Finally, once the box has been assembled, you can add some finishing touches such as ribbons or embellishments for decoration. You can also use different types of paper or other materials as well as stamping techniques for added interest.

Conclusion:

Making boxes with your Silhouette Cameo machine is easy with these simple steps! With just a few supplies and some creativity, you’ll be creating beautiful boxes in no time!
