My Fry Container











Again the pic isn't great, I have got to find my tripod.




This is my version of the fry container. I'm sure there are better out there.




You can download the file here.




I'm still learning how to make cut files so on this one you are going to have to make a couple of cuts manual, again I'll post a pic. tutorial later today.




When you make your first one you will need to make a template for the curve at the bottom. After I cut the container I deleted all the shapes except the one with the curve and make a cut with just it for my template.




See screen shot.





Score your fry container where the red lines are on the screen shot below. The center line is at 3.75 inches when measured along the blue line indicated in the screen shot. To place your curved edge for the bottom of the container, measure from the center line 1/2 inch and mark. Place the corners of one side of the curve template on the 1/2 inch from mark between the scored sides.



Glue and emblish.









I know this will be a lot easier to do once I get a better tutorial written, but a very patient lady on the Cricut DS board has been waiting for this since Tuesday, I don't want her to have to wait anymore. I promise I will address any questions by the end of the day, so bookmark me and come back soon :o)

Another example of the fry box. Sorry it is so washed out, I have too much white in my house LOL.

A Couple of Cut-Files to Share



Ok, maybe I should not take my photos while I'm drinking coffee LOL. Sorry they are sooo bad, but at least you can see before you download.


All are made with the baby bug and George:

The first is a crate created using PC Crafter Graphics. I just love Lauries work. The two compartments measure 2.5x5 and are 2.5 inches deep. I'm making them for a spa kit for the girls at work, I don't have the candles, soaps and other treats ready yet, so you get to see it empty LOL.

You can down load the file by clicking here


All my files are compressed, so you will need to open them first. For this project, you will need to cut each of the files enclosed twice. I'll write a pic tutorial later today, but I have got to get my housework done first :o(
