Some points to remember from the General Guidelines:
Use Vilene water soluble stabilizer;
Use the same thread for the upper and bobbin to get two-sided embroidery.
DO NOT embroider several designs in one hoop.
To make the box, you'll have to embroider two box panels, two side panels and the rectangle for the bottom.
Use 2 layers of Vilene-type water-soluble stabilizer and use the same thread for both
the needle and bobbin to get 2-sided embroidery. Rinse the stabilizer and leave to air dry.
Impotant Note: It's very important to use as small a hoop as possible. E.g. if your design is for a small hoop, use the small hoop, not the large one; if your design is for a large hoop, use large, not mega. Do not try to embroider several freestanding lace designs in one hoop. This is because all water-soluble stabilizers stretch, and in a bigger hoop, it's going to stretch more. This can lead to the design falling apart after the stabilizer is dissolved. It's always better to embroider one part at a time.
Press all parts with steam. Using invisible thread, zigzag all parts together.
Now place your small gift inside and fold the the panels closed.
This box could make a gorgeous gift for Valentine's day. Enjoy!
