Easy Treat Box

I'm back with a new video for you.  Watch to see how easy it is to make this cute Tall & Skinny treat  box.  It uses just one sheet of 6x6 patterned paper.  As you might be able to tell - I made these boxes using the 2019 - 2021 In Color Designer Series Paper Assortment.  The patterns are a little different in the current Annual Catalog - but the paper is available in all of the Stampin' Up! color assortments.

I always like to put candy in my treat boxes, but these could hold a small hand sanitizer, lip stick, etc.  The box is 6 inches tall, 2 inches wide, and 3/4 inch deep.

Supplies used to make the box:

• 6x6 piece of Designer Series Paper
• 2x3 piece of coordinating card stock
• Linen thread, Baker’s twine, or narrow ribbon
• Tag Topper punch
• Adhesive (something strong enough to hold the box together)
• Stamps/ink/punches of your choice to decorate (I used Daisy Lane stamp set and Medium Daisy punch)

Basic  Directions:

• Score the Designer Series Paper at 2, 2 ¾ , 4 ¾ , 5 ½   Turn and score at ¾

• Fold along all score lines; cut from the bottom along all score lines - up to the other score line; cut away the smallest flap

• Add adhesive to the RIGHT SIDE of the box along the narrow flap and along the bottom  flap that is the farthest away; adhere the box together.  (It will not matter if your scoring resulted in the smallest flap being on the opposite side as the one in the photo.)

• Lightly pinch the top of the box together

• Score the 2x3 piece of card stock in half at 1 ½  and punch one of the 2” ends using a Tag Topper punch

• Glue the card stock piece to the top of the box and having the punched end flap over the opening of the box.

• Thread ribbon or twine through the opening in flap and around the box and tie in a bow on the front of the box.

• Decorate box as desired.

I also have a PDF tutorial for this project.  Just EMAIL ME if you would like a copy, or leave a message below.
