Favors: Pink Dots Thank You

Hello Everyone! Here is another party favor idea. And since I received a good feedback about using pictorial tutorial, I will do my best to use pictures from now on. For this favor, we will be creating a box from a scratch without using any die cut.




1.) Size: 12" x 5". From left to right (see picture below), score 1/2", then from that point score 2 7/8" three times. Score 3" from the top and then fold.



2.) This part will be tricky so please refer to the picture below. I hope you all could see where the vertical scores are on the bottom part of the paper. Starting from the bottom left side, on the first big square, score 1" two times creating 3 rectangles (the third one won't be a perfect 1" since the size of the square is 2 7/8"). Do not score all the way on the top. Just score the bottom part. Skip the second square. On the third square, do the same thing like the one from the first square.



3.) Trim parts of it. See below. And then fold.



4.) Use double-sided tape. This picture shows you where to put your tape for the outside part of the box.



5.) This picture shows you where to put your tape for the inside part of the box.




 
6.) Adhere together the two ends first. Tape the small end inside. Then adhere the bottom part together.


 

7.) This is how your box should look like.

8.) Using a scallop edge punch, trim the edge of a black cardstock. Cut 1/2".



 

9.) Using a sticky tape, adhere the scallop edge paper inside the box.


 

10.) I decorated the front of the box with this sentiment. Inked the stamp with pink and stamped it on a white paper. Trim around it. Using dimensional (sticky foam or pop up tape), adhere it on a black cardstock. Trim around it. For this part, you can always use a different sentiment or stamp. Use your creative ideas to decorate your box.


 

This is the finished product. I used the box for a cookie favor. Tied the plastic bag with a pink dots ribbon to match with the pink dots paper that I used to create the box.
