Let’s Make This Snowflake Hexagon Box Together!

 

Hi friends! Today I am going to be showing you a step-by-step tutorial on “how to make” this snowflake hexagon box by Lori Whitlock. This video provides a comprehensive “box tutorial” for a fun “diy” project, demonstrating easy “paper craft” techniques. It’s a fantastic “crafting” session to create your very own “hexagon gift box” from a simple “paper box” design. (SVG , Silhouette).

Happy crafting!

Mrs Santa Slip Lid Box

Hello Crafty Friends, Noelene here today. I know most of you are preparing for Halloween but in my house it’s never too early to start preparing for Christmas. Today I want to share with you one of the newest files I am using from Lori Whitlock called Mrs Santa Slip Lid Box (SVG).
I started out by cutting all my pieces then glued on the corresponding panels to the top & bottom box sections like pictured. I folded the score lines first as this helped me to correctly align when I glued down. I left the glasses till last as I found this was easier to glue in place once box was made.
Next I started to put together the lid of the box glueing the flaps of the hat to the head, starting with the front then working from sides & finishing off at the back.
Now glue the hair panel on the back of the lid.
Then glue down the white strips of hat trim along the top.
The next step is to assemble the base of the box. Start by glueing down the side flap.
Then finish off by folding down the inside large rectangle base followed by glueing the 2 small side bases on it & then glue the outer rectangle flap over the top of the small side 2.
Lastly I glued on my glasses which I cut with gold metallic cardstock & embellished with a holly cutout onto the hat & 2 gold sprinkles for buttons.

New Halloween Favor Boxes

Favor Box Halloween Bundle
When I saw these boxes, I knew I had to make them all! They are a very simple box construction, but I know sometimes the placement of the pieces can be tricky. Below you can find placement for three of them that have the most pieces. The trick is to remember you have a top and a bottom and keep your pieces facing the correct way. If you use striped paper make sure to rotate the panel piece when cutting so all the stripes go the same way. (ask me how I know LOL)
Note: These cuties are coming soon to the Silhouette Store
This is the glue up for Frankenstein
 
 
This is the glue  up for the jack-o-lantern
 

This is the glue up for the witch (you can add more stripes if you choose)

***
I liked how Lori had two little stem pieces for the pumpkin stem so I did the same thing for the witch’s hat. I cut two hats and glued them together. Stick the tabs through the top slot and fold away from each other. I think the hat stands up nicely. 
 I made this little template for gluing on the little rosy cheeks. The two little circles come grouped where they would land on the face of the box. I took one of the basic panel and cut the circle cheeks out using Lori’s spacing. Then I could just center the panel on the face and add dots of glue where the holes were. Works well if you are making lots of boxes and you like everything to line up.

I could not just show the top piece of the box—the bottom box piece is designed just as cute!!!
These boxes may be small, but they are mighty! You can add about 4 pieces of snack size candy inside!

 

Whew, that was fun! I hope you find a chance to make a few of these Halloween treats-or maybe ALL of them!

3D Leprechaun Hat Box Tutorial

Hi there friends! Today I am sharing an assembly tutorial for the 3D Leprechaun Hat (SVG, Silhouette). As soon as this paper collection came out, I knew I wanted to craft with it. It is the Happy St. Patrick’s Day collection by Echo Park Paper Co. This little hat is the perfect size for a tiered tray or to hold a little treat for someone special.

This cut file has five circles, two long strips with tabs, and two buckle pieces. The tabs are all mountain folds.

 

I started with the narrow strip first. This will be the hats brim. I added glue to the end tab and attached to the other end creating a circle. I then folded over all the tabs and added glue to each tab on the inside of the cup. Then I put one of the same-colored circles inside the cup and pressed down on each tab against my work surface making sure to shape and secure each one. I flipped the cup over and glued the second same colored circle on the top covering the tabs. With the wide strip and the two smaller remaining circles I repeated the steps making a taller cup.

To help give a little dimension and to hide the white core paper I inked all of the remaining pieces and the two cups.
I glued the two buckle pieces together. Then glued the shorter cup to the center of the largest circle. The taller cup is turned over and fits inside the smaller cup creating the hat. I glued the buckle into place only adding glue to the bottom half of the back of the buckle so that the hat can still open.
I added a few stickers from the collection to glam my hat up a little as well as a jewel brad from my stash.

I really like how it turned out and will be adding it to my tiered tray decor next month. Thanks for stopping by today!

Self Closing Box 2 Tutorial

With Halloween just a few days away I made these little boxes (SVG, Silhouette) for my grandbabies. I will be walking you though how to assemble them.

 
I did increase the size on these as large as I could and still have it fit on my mat. Then I scored all the score marks.
 
 Then I added score tape to all the little flaps.
I wrapped the long side around 1st and stuck each side as I went. I found that laying it on the table like it is below and using my finger as a guide to line it up was easiest.

 

Contine to adhere all the sides.

 

I did find that directional paper might not be the best to use as it will be right side up on the lid, but the wrong way on the base.

After you have attached the flaps to the lid you have a cute little finished box to fill with goodies. I also added some embelishments to the inside as well and wrapped it with bakers twine.

 

 

Happy Haunting!
