Welcome to our Third Thursday blog hop. We want to inspire a few last minute crafty gift ideas. We will give you a few ideas for last minute gift and packaging ideas. I hope you can hop through all of our websites and be inspired to make a few last minute gifts.
This is a cute little box. It holds 3 Hershey Nuggets. It starts with a 6″ x 5 1/4″ piece of Designer Series Paper.
Along the 5 1/4″ side score at 3/4″, 2 1/4″, 3″ and 4 1/2″. Along the 6″ side score at 3/4″, 1 1/2″, 4 1/2″ and 5 1/4″.
When you’re done cut off the 2 sections on the ends that have the biggest sections. The part remaining will be the lid and the flap that tucks in. You can round these corners.
When you’re done cut up the sides on either side so that your box looks like this.
The long skinny bits get folded and tucked in and the flap on the side gets glued in place.
Closed. Your box will look like this.
The piece you cut off of a 6″ square originally is 1/2″ x 6″. Use this to form a belly band around your box. Decorate any way you would like. I used a 1 1/2″ circle punch to cut out gold shimmer paper. I added a tree stamped and punched. Add a sentiment and you’re all done. Remember that you might want to stick the tree on with a dimensional. It’s works better to stick to the shimmer paper.
