K-Cup Carrier Assembly Tutorial with Kathy

Hi Everyone! It’s Kathy today with an assembly tutorial for Lori’s new K-Cup Carriers.  It’s that time of year again when you need lots of little thank you gifts for teachers, baby sitters, coaches, dance teachers… the list almost seems endless!  Lori’s new K-Cup Carriers make a cute little gift that’s easy to make!  There are two new versions,  The K-Cup Carrier 2 Cups (SVG, Silhouette)  and the K-Cup Carrier 4 Cups (SVG, Silhouette).   I worked with the 2 cup version for the tutorial, but the 4 cup version is assembled in exactly the same manner.

When you upload the file to your cutting software, you will see that there is a note to cut two of each piece in the file.  The pieces I used to assemble can be seen below.  I used papers from Lori’s new Back To School Collection for Echo Park Paper.

First you need to glue together the two carrier pieces.  Start by folding along the score lines.  Fold up the handle portion of the piece and glue in place, smaller tabs on the inside.  Next bring up the other side, and glue, also with the tabs inside.

Fold down the remaining piece (the one with the hole) tucking the tab into the box.    Glue the big flaps down to the sides of the box.   Once the two sides are assembled, add the decorative pieces to the “fronts” and handles.

To complete the assembly, glue the two completed holder pieces back to back (or handle to handle).   Glue the remaining decorative panels to the remaining side pieces, then adhere to both sides of the carrier to cover the seams.  Your holder is complete!

I packaged my K-Cups along with a  little print and cut tag I made using the following files:  LW Block Font (SVG, Silhouette); LW Perfect Type Font (SVG, Silhouette); Pop Up Box Card Coffee (for the mug) (SVG, Silhouette); Sun (SVG, Silhouette); Thank You Teacher Tags (for the paper) (SVG, Silhouette)

That’s it for me today, thanks for stopping by to peek!
