Let’s face it, there are times when you might want to give a treat that is NOT chocolate. I know it can be rare, but you don’t always want (or need) to give candy treats, sometimes it is fun to receive something a little different…like these sparkly pencils.
The pencils are all dressed up for Valentine’s Day and are perfect for a child (especially if you need lots of these for an entire class or group of children. Although as an adult, I like to write with sparkly pencils too! The best part is that they do not require a lot of supplies so they will not break the bank if you are giving to multiple people or a large group.
The cardstock box takes a piece that is cut 3 1/2″ x 5 1/2″, so you can cut four of these from one piece of 8 1/2″ x 11″ cardstock, plus use the scraps to make a few tags.
I used the Sweet Conversations Stamp Set and the coordinating Sweet Talk Designer Series Papers for this project. I stamped a few hearts using Blushing Bride and Real Red ink. I could have easily die cut the hearts with the Sweet Hearts dies, but sometimes it is just as easy to do to a little fussy cutting.
I die cut two tags from the Tailored Tags Dies – the larger one from Real Red Cardstock and the smaller one from Basic White Cardstock. I did adhere a piece of 1″ x 2 1/4″ Designer Series paper that matched the box to the Real Red Cardstock tag. The two tags are on a piece of 1/8″ ribbon and then just tied onto the Real Red Faux Linen Ribbon that is wrapped around the box.
You can give your treat the way it is as the pencils fit pretty tightly in the box, but if you are giving these out, it’s fun to just package them up in a 2″ x 10″ clear bag and tie with a small bit of ribbon or twine. I purchased my bags from Clearbags.com, but you can also purchase these from your local big box craft store (think pretzel bags).
If you would like to make these Pencil Treat Boxes, you will need the following supplies:
- Sweet Conversations Stamp Set
- Sweet Hearts Dies (Optional)
- Real Red Cardstock – Cut 3 1/2″ x 5 1/2″
- Score on the SHORT side at 1/2″, 3/4″, 2″ and 2 1/4″
- Turn clockwise and score on the LONG side at 1/4″ (this is the bottom), cut away the tiny little square on the left side and then cut up on the vertical score lines at the bottom only to the horizontal score line (these are the flaps for the bottom of the box.
- Scrap for tag
- Sweet Talk Designer Series Paper – Cut 1 1/8″ x 5 1/8″, plus a piece 1″ x 2 1/4″ (optional)
- Real Red Faux Linen Ribbon (about 14″), about 6″ Playful Pets Real Red Stitched Grosgrain Ribbon
- Basic White Cardstock – scrap for tag and two hearts
- Ink: Real Red and Blushing Bride
- Adhesive: Tear & Tape, Multipurpose Liquid Glue, Dimensionals
- Tools: Paper Trimmer, Simply Scored (optional), Paper Snips, Stampin’ Cut & Emboss (optional)
