Having fun making treat containers for Halloween Treat container class this week. Won't the ladies just love making this box.
Here are directions:
Easy Fold Flat Box
Supplies:
Rubbers Stamps
Cardstock
Decorative Paper
Ink
Paper cutter with scoring blade
Ribbon
Hole punch
Eyelets and setter
Adhesive
Cut 2 pieces of double sided Decorative Paper or Cardstock, each 11.0 x 4.25. Put one of the pieces back into paper cutter lengthwise and trim off a very small amount. ( This piece will lay on top of the other piece when you assemble box.) Score each piece at 3 3/8” from each end. Now, put them back in the scorer and score each piece .75″ or .50” from the end, all 4 ends (this gives you the folded over flap). Fold into shape to make sure all is right! Do any stamping you want on the box at this point. Now using your Hole punch or Crop-A-Dile, and making sure the flaps are folded down, punch holes on each side of each end, .5″ in from the end, and centered on the fold over flap. Insert eyelets into those holes. Lay your two pieces down, one on top of the other, in a + shape, using a little tape to keep the two bottom pieces together. Fold the sides up and thread with ribbon and tie to keep the box in shape. Make a little Tab Tag with the round tab punch, border it with black as described below, attach to box and you are done!!!! A very quick and easy box for giving a little gift or just setting out with Halloween candies!
Blessings, Diane

Hint: If you want to save this box for next Halloween, just untie the ribbon and it will store flat, taking essentially no room at all!!! You could actually make a little table decoration box like this for every holiday and store them all in one file folder � how fun!!!!
