After I made a bunch of snowman tea lights (directions can be found here), I was trying to decide how to give them. I didn't want the nose to poke through anything, so I made a box!
I added some iridescent shreds to the box to make it a little sparkly.
Too bad you can't leave the battery on when you give them. They might receive a snowman with a dead battery!
You want to know how to make the box?
- Cardstock for the bottom is 5-1/2" x 6-1/2". Score all 4 sides at 1-3/4".
- Cardstock for the lid is 4-1/8" x 3-1/8". Score all 4 sides at 1/2".
- Punch a hole in the lid and add a piece of Window Sheet behind. If using the Decorative Label punch as I did here, you will need about 2-3/4" x 1-3/4" size Window Sheet.
- Designer Series Paper is cut 1-1/2" x 1-3/4" for the 2 short sides and 1-1/2" x 2-3/4" for the 2 long sides.
Finished box size is 2" x 3" x 1-3/4" tall.
Just three days left for the Online Extravaganza!

What a great idea, Dawn! Your box is so bright and cheerful - I'm sure those snowmen are all cozy and comfy in there! I just bought that punch, and will now have an excuse to try it out!!! Thanks for sharing...
ReplyDeleteYikes, I called you Dawn! Can't do two things at once - have an email started for my friend Dawn L., and guess she was on my mind - so sorry! Forgive me?
ReplyDeleteThis is such a fun project. And I like them peeking through the box lid.

ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteI have printed and made several boxes but the score lines are so faint I can't get them to come out even.
Suggestions?
Hi Kathy, I am not sure what to tell you because I am only providing cutting measurements, not a printable document. Maybe adjust the dark/light setting on your copier??
