Sweet treat gift box

 

Hello everyone and welcome to another Tuesday Crafting. As it draws nearer and nearer to the big day, I thought it would be nice to share a cute little treat box that I've made with dividers inside to seperate those lovely sweets, that we all love at christmas. So let's begin and see how simple these little boxes are to make.

Materials needed:

Box lid - Card measuring 5 1/16" x 6 9/16" scored on all 4 sides at 1" (Old Olive is what I've used for mine)

Box base - Card measuring 6 1/2" x 8" scored on all 4 sides at 1 3/4" (Real Red is what I've used for mine)

Box divider pieces - 1pc of card measuring 1 1/4" x 4 1/2" and on the longside you need to cut at 1 1/2" and 3" but only into the middle/ half way (Real red is what I used)

2pc - 1 1/4" x 3" and on the longside you need to cut at 1 1/2" on both pieces but only into the middle/ half way ( Real red is what I used)

Top of lid layer - 2 3/4" x 4 5/16" embossed using embossing folder

Tis' the season dsp - 2pc 15/16" x 3 for the short sides of box lid sides

2pc 15/16" x 4 1/2" for the long sides of box lid sides

Gold thread - approx 7" for the tags 

Ribbon - approx 27"  for tying around the box

2 Scrap pieces of cardstock for the die cutting of 2 tags

Box recipe:

1. Cut, score and burnish (where necessary) all of your card and dsp pieces.

Both the box base and the lid are cut the same way as below, only cutinng to the score line on each side.

2. Now put wet glue on all 4 side tabs and glue the corners together so they are nice and square, by tucking the tabs inside the box base.

Both the box base and the lid pieces are glued the same way.

3. Now you need to assemble the inside dividers, and you do this by just having cut all the pieces where instructed to the middle/half way and then interlocking them into each other, like below, linking the cut lines together.

This piece should now just slide into place inside the box base.

4. Emboss the layer of card for the top of the box lid and glue flat into place.

5. Glue all of the dsp pieces into place and then tie the ribbon around the whole box (place your sweets of choice inside first).

6. Die cut your 2 tags, stamp a sentiment onto the whte one, I've used the 'To and From' that is within the  Wishes and Wonder stampset, and I've used Real red ink.

7. Attach the gold thread to the tags and then tie them onto the box by tying them onto the ribbon.

That's the box complete, ready to give to someone special for chrtistmas. Very quick and simpe box but very cute way of gifting a little something to someone.

Hope you enjoyed this project and you give it a go.

Till next time take care everyone, stay safe and keep crafting.
