Supplies

Step-by-Step

1. Step 1

   To create the box base:
   Cut a 5" x 6 1/2" piece of cardstock. Score at 1 1/2" on all sides.
   
   On the side that will be the box front, measure 1/2" from the score lines and cut that section away.

   

2. Step 2

   Cut in on the horizontal score lines to where the score lines cross. Trim as shown to form tabs.

   

3. Step 3

   Assemble the box using double-sided adhesive.
   
   Cut a 1-1/2" x 3-1/2" piece of acetate or clear plastic packaging. Adhere to inside of box front (Mini Glue Dots used for sample).
   

   

4. Step 4

   To create the box insert:
   Cut a piece of cardstock slightly smaller than 3" x 4 1/2". Score at 1/2" on all sides.
   
   Using a 1 1/4" circle punch or die, punch two circles from a Post-it Note so there is a bit of the sticky on the back. Position these circles in the center section as a template for punching.

   

5. Step 5

   Flip the 1 1/4" circle punch over, center the opening over the Post-it Note guides, and punch.

   

6. Step 6

   Cut on score lines to form tabs, as done above. Assemble the insert with double-sided adhesive.
   
   Place the insert into the bottom of the box.
   

   

7. Step 7

   To create the box top:
   Cut a piece of cardstock 7 1/8" x 8 5/8". Score at 2 1/2" on all sides. Cut on score lines to form tabs. Assemble box top with double sided adhesive.

   

8. Step 8 (Optional)

   To decorate the Cadbury eggs for a fun Halloween treat:
   Unroll gauze. Cut in half lengthwise to make strips approximately one inch wide. Fray the cut edge slightly.

   

9. Step 9

   Attach one end of gauze to candy egg with a small piece of transparent tape. Wrap egg in gauze using small pieces of tape as needed to hold the gauze in place.

   

10. Step 10

    Adhere two googlie eyes to the wrapped egg.

    Insert decorated candy eggs into the completed base.
