Nugget Box Tutorial

Leave a comment

My cute little neighbor kids always get a little holiday treat from me and so when I saw these nugget boxes (found HERE) I knew thats what they were getting. I did alter my box some so you can see my wrapped nuggets. I cut the wrap/outside of the nugget box in acetate.

First, cut your pieces and get your nuggets.

Fold on the score lines. Below will show you where to add your adhesive. I like Scor-tape for a secure hold. When assembling the box make sure you adhere the tabs inside before folding the edges over or else your tabs will show.

After gluing your tabs, fold the edges over and glue them in place. Below is what your completed nuggest box will look like.

The wrap for the nuggets isn’t on the file but those just need to be cut 1 inch x 3 inches. Add tape to both sides on the same end of the paper and attach it to the nuggest.

The acetate in the following photos is hard to see but essentially just cut the slide part of the file and fold on the score lines. Adhere with strong adhesive on the tab to complete the box.

Slide your nugget box into the acetate sleeve. I added some twine around the box for a little extra love.

I wrapped my nuggets to resemble a flag using paper from Lori’s Echo Park Have A Holly Jolly Christmas and paper by Fancy Pants called Hometown Summer.

 

Thanks for stopping by and happy crafting.

Hello Friends, Summer vibes are here!  I am sharing this fun and colorful Box Card Surfing Van (SVG, Silhouette) featuring a cute little road trip scene, beachy elements, and lots of cheerful layers. The design was so much fun to create and is sure to bring a smile to anyone’s day! I used the papers and stickers from the Our Groovy Summer collection by Echo Park Paper Co.

Buzzing with Kindness

Spring seems to be just around the corner…I am sure there is more winter to come here in South Dakota…but I am remaining hopeful.  And with Spring just around the corner, it’s time to think about gardening and bees.  So I broke out Lori’s Bee Happy collection.  This is such a fun collection, and it’s perfect for Spring and Summer.

First, I used Lori’s A2 Honey Card.  Silhouette Just the cutest little shaped card.

And next Lori’s Beehive Box Card.  SVG I love to make both styles of these cards.  Always my favorite and I get to use lots of embellishments from the collection.
Here’s hoping Spring is on the way and that the bees visit my garden

Big Box Card Lemonade Basket

Hi. Today I’m sharing a tutorial for this adorable Big Box Card Lemonade Basket (SVG, Silhouette). Like the title says, this project is big and so fun.  No problem cutting all the flower center pieces!

1. First cut all the pieces.  If you are working in Silhouette Studio, remember to find all the white pieces that may be hiding behind a layer. Also think about any patterns you are using in your paper, and place them accordingly.  Notice the direction of scalloped flap pieces.  In this picture those pieces are a butterfly pattern.  But you’ll notice later, I used the other side of the paper.

2. Layer all the pieces, using the finished project image as reference if needed. Aren’t the ice cubes so fun!

3. Adhere the basket panels onto the basket piece.  Notice here that you will first fold down the basket flaps, and then adhere the scallop panels to the folded side.  Here I decided to use the other side of the paper!  Luckily these pieces are symmetrical so they fit perfect.

4. Time to assemble the basket.  Glue the flaps together to form the basket. I used liquid glue for the flaps.

5. Now insert the pieces into the basket and glue the flaps to the sides.  Do your best to evenly space out these flaps. They are numbered 1,2,3, so you can easily place them in the correct order.

6. Flatten the project and make sure the inside glue tabs are adhered well.  And adhere the front banner and flowers on to the basket.  Noting which panel is the front before adhering.

7. Tada!  Enjoy your finished project.  This is a fun one.  You can find some other of these Big Box cards in the Shop. I used Lori’s Have a Great Summer Collection. You can pick up your favorite Big Box card during Lori’s Sale!

Hope you are having a great summer!
