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!

5×5 Card Happy Birthday Words and Box with Handle and Wrap

Happy Monday friends!  I needed a birthday card and small gift box for a little boy last week, so what better place to look than Lori’s site for some fun cutting files!? 

I love this super easy 5″ x 5″ birthday card because all the hard work is already done for you!  Placing individual letters like the sentiment above can take some time to get it right, but Lori has made this one easy! 

The green pattern has the cut outs for the letter centers, and then the Happy Birthday actually uses the negative space (save the letters that get cut out for a future project)!  

The box is made from two pieces of paper.  The base of the box folds up, and then there a a pattern piece that wraps around the box — almost like wrapping paper.  Isn’t that cute?  And so simple!

 

The box is the perfect size for a small gift, a gift card, or candy.  I know this car-loving birthday boy will love the surprise tucked into this gift.

4 Candy Drawer #1 Dad Sports Tutorial

Hello friends!  Traci back to share a simple gift box project with you!  What dad wouldn’t want to receive this sweet treat box on Father’s Day?  You can find this one here (SVG, Silhouette).

I love how simple this design is and such a fun idea for tiny gifts or candy!

 

Here are a few tips for assembling this project.  First, use a medium weight card stock for the boxes and the “drawer”… probably less than 100#.  If the card stock is too thick, it might make the drawer a little tight.  I used Bazzill 80# (Jade) and it worked perfectly.  

 

Tip #2:  If you fold all of the score lines on the little boxes correctly, as in the photo above, you will hide all of the glue tabs and end up with a nice solid base. 

 

I love how the little boxes are removable!  This way you can use 1,2,3, or all four.  This design is great for a sports loving dad, but Lori has other styles too (SVG), so be sure to check out her other new designs.

 

 

Thanks for stopping by the blog today!  Have fun making a handmade gift for a dad in your life! Father’s Day is on Sunday, June 18!

Baby Diaper Boxes – Baby Shower Favor

Hello everyone! Marcia here today. I am in the middle of baby shower prep … actually it’s one week away and I am beginning to panic. I wanted to make some baby shower party favors for the tables and thought this Baby Diaper Box (SVG, Silhouette) was adorable. I used Lori’s Birthday Boy collection to add some boy colors to my diapers since my son and his girlfriend are expecting a boy.

I added an actual safety pin in my diaper boxes for a realistic look. Some fun washi tape makes it just a bit more fun. These boxes have a lid to close completely so you could even use them for gift giving. A gift card would fit inside nicely.

Lori has lots of baby shower/party favor ideas in her shop. Go check them all out and have some fun making your own party favor boxes!

Thanks so much for stopping by.

Ghiradelli Box

Hello crafty friends…Aimee here with you today to share this sweet (and I mean SWEET) little box! This is the 3 Ghiradelli Box Valentine (SVG, Silhouette). It is meant to hold 3 of the delicious Ghiradelli square chocolates and who wouldn’t want that?!?! But you could also size this box up for some bigger sized goodies.

I also want to point out that this box can be stored flat. That means you could make a bunch of these for birthdays and just grab one when you need it. I plan on filling this one with some goodies for my hubby on our anniversary.

Thanks for stopping by today!
