Valentine Treat Box Tutorial

My goal is to give you enough details that you will be able to create this too. If you do make your own, leave me a comment with the link so that everyone can take a peek.

Supplies and Tools needed:

Cuttlebug
Nestabilities (square scallops)
Stylus
Paper Cutter or Score Pal
1/8" hole punch
Permanent Glue (I use Tombow)

5 - 4"x 4" scallop squares using a heavy weight Cardstock (CS)
4 - 3"x 3" scallop squares using coordinating Designer Paper (DP)
1 - 1 1/4" x 8 1/2" Strip of CS
1 - 1" x 8 1/2" Strip of DP
2 - coordinating brads

1. Using your cutting/embossing machine, cut out 5 large scalloped squares. Set the 5th square to the side, this will be the Box Bottom.

2. Take 4 of the large scalloped squares and Score along 3 of the sides at 1/2"

3. The un-scored side will be the top of your box - Take your paper snips and cut off the last scallop on the bottom corners - This will allow the bottom to be folded inwards.

4. Fold the sides forward - Apply glue - Take another side and press them together, making sure that the scallops are aligned - At this stage it will look like a hollow Square Tube.

5. Make sure that the bottom scalloped edges are folded inwards - Apply glue to the outside scallops - Press the hollow box onto the Box Bottom.

6. Adhere the DP squares to the box sides.

7. On opposite sides of the box - Locate the center and punch a hole approximately 3/4" from the top.

Creating and attaching the handle

1. Glue the DP strip on top of the plain CS strip.

2. At about 3/4" from each end, Punch hole

3. With the handle on the inside of the box - Align the holes and Attach Brads.

Your Box is Complete now decorate as desired.
