Did you think I ran away this week? Well...I thought seriously about it!
Man, what a week it's been.
I held my first Teacher Appreciation Luncheon at Nicholas school and all went well. That's a lot to fall one a persons shoulders if it fails :) The kids have been out of school for Parent Teacher Conferences, I made 9 cake mixes and frosting gift sets and forgot to take a single picture of them. I have to make 6 more so I'll remember this time, and I won't bore you with all the rest of the week.
The good news is, I'm doing a Holiday Bazaar on the 21st of November and I thought I would get started with a few things! I'm not going to make too many things because I'm using this mostly as a business day...but you gotta have some cute stuff to show, right?
How about Giant Nugget Boxes??
These hold four 3x3 Note Cards & Envelopes with 3 wrapped Hershey Nuggets down the middle. You could arrange the compartments anyway you want and fill them with all kinds of things.
Delightful Decorations and Christmas Cocoa DSP
Animal Stories and Tall Tales DSP
Christmas Punch and Merry Moments DSP
Would you like to make one? Here's how I did it!
Cut cardstock to 5-1/4" x 10-1/2". Score at 1/2" and 1" on all 4 sides. Cut out the corners as shown and fold into a box shape as shown below.

Divider insert
Cut cardstock 3" x 10-1/4". Score at 3-1/4", 3-3/4", 4-1/4", 5-3/4", 6-1/4", 6-3/4. Fold with peak and valley style as shown above. Adhesive the peaks so they stay up. You can put adhesive under the divider if you want but it isn't necessary and no, it does not fit tight, it just sits in the box.
Transparency Sheet Slider

The scoring measurements are a little odd but keep in mind the box is 1/2" tall by 3-1/4" wide so these measurements are just a fraction over those sizes.
Score at 1/2", 3-13/16, 4-3/8", 7-11/16".
It's kind of hard to fold this paper unless you score it well. Unfortunately there is a fine line between scoring it perfectly and scoring through it! :) Add Sticky Strip to one end and attach to the other.
Holy cow these are amazing!!! Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful project and steps to create one of our own! These are perfect for Christmas gifts!
ReplyDeleteHow much should you sell these for? I am thinking a gazillion dollars or so. They are wonderful. I have made something like it but would never have thought to do it for chocolate and for cards. I think I know what my aunt is getting for Christmas.

These are absolutely adorable. I love, love, love them. You are so creative and talented. Thanks for sharing the steps to creating them. Can't wait to make some.
ReplyDeleteYay, I love these! Thanks for sharing. :)
ReplyDeleteLovely! Thanks so much for sharing! I definitely like these for teacher gifts!
ReplyDeleteThese are great...thanks for the tutorial. Althought I still haven't make the last one I purchased!
ReplyDeleteWOW Becky - another AWESOME project!! But how much to sell them for is a question you shouldn't ask me - it's a tough one for me to price anything!!!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous Becky! Thank you so much for showing us how you made them!:)

ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing :)

WOW..these are fantatic! {SMILES}
ReplyDeleteWhat a great gift idea that can be used for any occasion. Thank you for sharing the instructions.
ReplyDeleteThese are wonderful gifts little gifts Becky. Pricing our work is difficult, between $10 to $20? Let's face it we never make enough to pay for our time and effort.
ReplyDeleteOh, how special these are. What a great hostess gift over the holidays. I think we all would love to know what you price them at. I do a little fair at my church, only started making stuff due to illness and the hardest part is the pricing. Any help and info is appreciated. Best of luck!
ReplyDeleteStay well,
AnnMarie
wow what a great gift idea. Thanks for sharing with us. as for the pricing I usally give myself an hourly rate and then add cost for materials. People say I charge too little for my creations but Im having so much fun it doesnt feel like work. Again thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great project! Thanks for sharing with us. I know it's hard to put a price on stuff like that. I would estimate that 15$ should be about the price I would like to get for a project like that if I made one... But people that does not make those does not get the work put on it... so it may not sell at that price... sometime I put the price I want for and if it does not sell I use it as Christmas gift!!
ReplyDeleteHey Becky
ReplyDeleteThis is so cute. How on earth do you keep all this creativity flowing. You amaze me!
Wow Becky. Love your creations. These are adorable and won't last 2seconds on your table.
ReplyDeleteBecky! These are adorable. You have done it AGAIN! lol! Thank you for sharing the tutorial I'm gonna try one right now! Love it!
ReplyDeleteFabulous idea -- thanks for sharing all the details!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute project. Thanks for providing the details.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing the instructions on this project. I now know what to give several friends for Christmas! As far a pricing, I would think the $10-$15 range. It really depends on the part of the country (and economy) in the area you are in.
ReplyDeletejmgeisler
These are so beautiful! I would love to get this as a gift! I would pay $15 for this. Thanks for sharing the idea and the instructions! I love it!! :)

ReplyDeleteBecky, these are adorable! You've done it again.
ReplyDeletethis is one of the best ideas i have seen...thanks so much for sharing the how to's.
ReplyDeleteYou are so talented. Absolutely LOVE these. Thank you for sharing. I think $10 is a good price point. You could also offer a class to those stopping by your table to make their own.
ReplyDeleteWowzers!!! These are fabulous! Thanks so much for sharing how you made them. I would say $12-$15! Good luck with them.
ReplyDeleteBecky does it again! These are darling little gifts that will work perfect for the upcoming holidays! What would we all do without these amazing ideas????
ReplyDeleteBecky These are absolutely fabulous.... and a real inspiration. You are just SO clever
ReplyDeletewhat a great gift, but the directions are wvwn greater; thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteAlright - I am new to this box making thing. LOVE LOVE LOVE the concept - they are adorable. BUT, I must not be doing something right on the transparency slide cover. I cut my transparency to the dimensions, but there is no way it is going to fit. Anyone else have this problem?
ReplyDeleteYes, there was an error and I have now corrected the measurments for the transparnecy sheet. Sorry about that!
ReplyDeleteBecky
These are gorgeous! thanks for sharing this great project and sharing the steps to create it!
ReplyDeleteReally cute project. Thanks for the directions.
ReplyDeleteThese are just darling! Thank you for the tutorial...I will absolutely be making these for some friends!
ReplyDeleteAnd I have to agree with the $12-$15 range for pricing.
Such a great idea! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteBecky! Love, love, love this idea! Now I know what I'm making some folks at school that I want to do a little something for at Christmas! Thanks so much for sharing your talent!

Super cute. I think $10 is a good price. And the lady who said you could offer a class on how to make them was brilliant!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh these are so cute! I wouldn't make that box to hold those, too complicated for my abilities. Love the cards. Hope they sell well for you. I'd buy them!
ReplyDeleteOMG - you've done it again!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the awesome tutorial... I was going to take it easy tonight, but clearly I now need to go stamp! :)

ReplyDeleteDeb
Love this project. Thank you for once again sharing one of your great creations! I've made one so far and will make more to sell at my granddaughter's pre-school fund raiser in CA. What price did you finally decide on? I'm thinking $15 would be fair.
ReplyDeletemy neighbor is mad at us...parked in front of the mailbox :o( This is just the thing to get back on her good side!!
ReplyDeletethanks so much for sharing..I bet you could sell them for over $10 easy!!
