Halloween is just days away so that means the holiday season is fast approaching. Time to think about all those little gifts you need for all the people in your life. The teachers, your neighbors, your coworkers, your friends, the UPS guy, the mail man.... yikes!! We have some work to do. The project in this post is quick to put together and everyone will love it. At this time of year, I make a trip to my local BATH & BODYWORKS and pick up some great smelling items. I will be using the hand cream for this gift box.
I've made lots of hand cream boxes in the past but this design, originally shared by ERICA CERWIN of PINK BUCKAROO DESIGNS is the best I've seen.
1) To create the box, cut three pieces of BLUEBERRY BUSHEL card stock. For the body of the box, cut the panel at 2in by 10-1/2in. Score at 4-3/4in and 5-3/4in. For the flap, cut at 2in by 3-5/8in. Score on the LONG end at 1/2in and 1-1/2in. For the inside piece cut at 3-1/2in by 6in and score at 1in on all sides.
2) To create the exterior, adhere the flap at the top of the outside panel so it folds over to create the box. The remaining panel will create the inside of the box where the lotion tube fits. Before assembling it, punch a hole in either short end using the 3/4in CIRCLE PUNCH. Cut out the tabs and assemble. Remove the lid of the tube, put through the hole and replace the lid. Adhere this interior piece on the inside of the exterior piece.
3) Before placing the DSP on the outside of the box add a magnet to the large folded panel using a MINI GLUE DOT. Adhere a 1-7/8in by 4-1/2in piece of DSP. Add a coordinating piece of DSP measuring 1-7/8in by 2in after placing the second magnet on the flap. Add two assembled Christmas bulbs and IRIDESCENT RIBBON on the flap as shown. Add sentiment at the bottom right of the box.
The video link below will show you how the gift box came together.
All the products used to make this project are available in my online store. Check it out here.
There you have it. A quick and easy project you can put together for all those friends and family gifts. I hope you are inspired to try one yourself. Come back soon for more holiday gift ideas.
