Cupcake Ovens

Here's a tutorial on making my cupcake oven I designed on Cricut Design Space.
 Fold on all score lines and adhere tabs on drawer insert.
 This is how to fold the stove top.



 fold down and adhere flap on stove bottom.
 folded stove bottom make sure skinny flap is on top otherwise drawer will catch on it
 adhere back flaps to back of main body
 fold and adhere the flaps on top of the stove top.Where the dials go.
 adhere stove top to main body leaving front flap free
 adhere oven window to oven door I used acetate her or you can use vellum for a frosted look (like the other two boxes). I glued a tiny magnet to middle top of door it helps with keeping it closed but is optional. I buy my magnets along with the beads I used on the dials at http://www.miriamscraftingblog.com/ she has great prices and fast inexpensive shipping.
 While waiting for glue to dry i put together the small embellishments

 on the underside of the flap I glued another magnet It needs to be on inside of flap because the magnets are small but strong and without the paper barrier they would rip away from the glue.Make sure the magnets are opposite or they will repel lol.
 put glue on bottom flaps
 stack stove body on bottom and adhere

 Run tape on all edges of wrap
 and adhere to stove

 put drawer insert into bottom leaving it partly out for your fingers add glue to front
 line drawer front up to front of stove and level on table and adhere
 if you used a white core card stock like I did you can clean up edges with a marker or ink pad.
