MAKE A SANTA'S MAILBOX TREAT BOX USING THE HANDMADE WISHES BUNDLE

Christmas is around the corner.  I have one more treat box project to share with you.  The SANTA MAILBOX is a great treat box.  It has a magnetic closure and can hold lots of holiday goodies.  It's easy to make and will make any friend or family member smile.

You can really use any holiday Designer Series Paper to make this box.  I used the SWEETEST CHRISTMAS DSP. I also used the HANDMADE WISHES BUNDLE for the embellishment on the front of the box.  Lastly, I used PLAYFUL ALPHABET DIES to put MAIL on the back portion of the treat box.

Start with a piece of REAL RED card stock measuring 8in by 11in.  On the SHORT SIDE, score at 1-1/2in, 6-1/2in.  On the LONG SIDE, score at 3-1/2in, 5in, 8-1/2in and 10in. After creasing the score lines and cutting away the excess card stock, it will look like the template below.

Place TOMBOW on the box flaps and put the treat box together. Add the extra flap panel to the front of the 1in wide flap on the box.  Before adhering, I used the BORDER DIES and cut a pointed edge to the front flap.    If you are making a magnetic closure for the box, place a magnet on the outside of the front flap using a GLUE DOT then cover it with a DSP panel measuring 4-3/4in by 2in and cut using the same BORDER DIE.  Place a second magnet under the flap with a GLUE DOT on it and gently close the flap, allowing the magnet to stick to the front of the box.  Open and press down with your fingers then adhere the DSP panel on the front side. These panels should measure 4-3/4in by 3-1/4in for the front and 1-3/4in by 4-3/4in for the top. Now place TOMBOW on the tabs and put the box 

For the large back panel that you will adhere the treat box to, you will need a piece of REAL RED card stock measuring 6in by 5-1/2in and a DSP panel measuring 5-3/4in by 5-1/4in.  Again, I used the BORDER DIES to round the top of both the panel and DSP before adhering them together and adhering the treat box. To complete the project I used the PLAYFUL ALPHABET DIES to spell out MAIL and adhere them to the top. Click on the link below to the YOUTUBE video to see how the box comes together.
