Check out my video tutorial for this box - it's quick and very easy! It wraps a standard sized chocolate bar (Cadbury's Dairy Milk or Green & Blacks). The dimensions of the bar I used are 6"x3", but the box is quite generous & could take something a little larger.
You don't need any glue, the folds hold the box together securely. Make it as plain or as fancy as you like. Looking ahead to next term, it would make a great way of dressing up an inexpensive teacher's gift.
Use a piece of paper 8 1/2" x 12". The score lines are as below, and you're going to cut away the shaded areas.
Score along the 12" side at 2 7/8" & 9 1/8" (or flip the card & score again at 2 7/8")
Score along the shorter 8.5" side at 3", 3 3/4", 6 3/4" & 7 1/2"
You want to draw a line at 1/2" from the vertical score line, between the first and second score lines, on each side of the lid. this creates the small flaps that tuck in.
I used the products below to titivate it a bit, but you don't need them to make the basic box (although the score board makes it a doddle!)
i love this little box. thank you so much. I have a craft fair coming up end of May and this will be perfect for teacher gifts. You're a star! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you! I'm going to use this for teacher gifts in July, it'll be an impressive way of giving a humble (& inexpensive!) chocolate bar.
