Tiny is good. And the Tiny Clear Treat Boxes are no exception. The boxes measure just 2” x 2” x 2” making them great for small party favors. Put the boxes together, fill with treats, wrap a strip of Designer Series Paper around the outside and tie a bow….Ta..Da!
Oh and decorate the top too to make it more festive!
Oh, I bet you are ready to make these now aren’t you? They are so easy….and fast to make. I used the Toile Tidings Designer Series Paper for the outside wrapper.
To make the box with the Toile Tidings Gingham Check, you will need a strip measuring 1 3/4” x 9”. If you’d like to add a border to your paper so it covers the entire side, add a piece of 2” x 9” coordinating cardstock and adhere the two pieces together before scoring.
SUPPLIES:
- Clear Tiny Treat Boxes (2” x 2” x 2”)
- Toile Tidings Designer Series Paper
- Optional: Coordinating Cardstock – Real Red or Garden Green
- Tear & Tape
- Simply Scored (or use the scoring blade on the Paper Trimmer)
- Gift Bag Shredded Paper- non-Stampin’ Up! item
- 20” of matching ribbon
- Sprig Punch, Any leafy die (I used dies from the
- Real Red Glimmer Paper, Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Paper, Silver Glimmer Paper, Garden Green Cardstock, Real Red Cardstock
And here are the simple directions:
- Cut Toile Tidings Designer Series Paper – 1 ¾” x 9. Optional Matching Cardstock Cardstock – Cut 2” x 9”. If using cardstock, Adhere Toile Tidings Designer Series Paper to Cardstock, and then score as below.
- Score on the long side at: 1 ¾” , 3 ¾”, 5 ¾” and 7 ⅞”. Crease with a bone folder on the score lines.
- Turn over to the “inside” and place a piece of Tear & Tape at the 7 ⅞” end.
- Put the box together & fill with shredded paper & candy of choice or small gift or just candy. (Holiday M&M’s make a festive box!)
- Wrap the Designer Series Paper around the box, overlap the ends and secure on the BOTTOM.
- Tie ribbon around the box and tie in a bow.
- Optional: Use Sprig Punch and punch several from Red Glimmer Paper, Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Paper, Garden Green or Real Red Cardstock, or Silver or Gold Foil Sheets. You can also use any leafy, sprig looking die to cut additional pieces. I used several from the Pretty Pines Thinlits (retired) to add a few pine boughs.
- Adhere with glue dots underneath ribbon/bow.
Here is a big HINT: The Designer Series Paper is wrapped around like a paper “sleeve” and is NOT attached to the box. This allows it to be slid off to open the box. Also be aware if the paper has an obvious “this side up”, like the piece I chose for the green box, cut your paper accordingly.
These clear boxes are great for decorating a table…just put one at each guest’s seat. Fill with mints or chocolates. They also make great party favors for a New Year’s Party! Or any other festive occasion….just change up the paper and you are good to go for BIrthdays, Ladies Luncheons, Baby Showers….oh so many possibilities!
For what occasion are you planning to make these??
Happy Stamping! & Happy New Year!
