Witch Hat Handle Box Tutorial

 It’s Halloween crafting time!  My favorite time to create!  These handle boxes of Lori’s are so cute and easy, come together in no time at all.  Four different Halloween designs.  I did the Witch Hat Handle Box in Lori’s Store or you can find it here in the Silhouette Store.

First, cut your pieces and fold them on the score lines.

Then I inked the edges of all my pieces with coordinating ink.
Add scor-tape to the four flaps that you see here and adhere your box together.
Add your witch hat and how cute is that?  Fun for all kinds of little treats!
Thanks for joining us today for this super quick and easy treat box!

Carrot Favor Box with Crate Tutorial

 Anita here with a tutorial on Lori’s Carrot Favor Box. I made this for my niece who is away at college. I filled the boxes with jelly beans and M&M’s. You can find the file here (SVGSilhouette).
Here are the pieces that come with this file:

This shows the items folded on their score lines.

I decided to use a paper crimper to crimp my grass the give it some more fluff in my crate.

This shows the grass in the crate.

This last photo shows all of the items separately before I put them together into the crate.

 

Such a fun and easy project and I know that she will enjoy opening her carrots up to see what treats are inside for me.  Have a great day.
Hugs,

Turkey Fry Box

Hi there paper crafting friends!  It’s Michelle Starcher, aka the Bookish Designer, hopping onto the blog to share the Thanksgiving gratitude box I made using the Fry Box Turkey (SVGSilhouette).  This box creates the cutest little turkey that can be filled with notes and treats.  

When assembled, the Fry Box Turkey measures 4.25×1.5×8.25 when cut at original size, but it can be sized up or down as needed.   It’s super easy to assemble.  Before I assembled the fry box, I adhered all the pieces for the turkey’s face and hat to the fry box base.  Next, I use distress inks to add a little dimension to the feather pieces and then layered them together.  After assembling the box, I added the partial feather insert into the box and used it to line up the main plumage to the back of the box.  I filled the box with little gratitude cards, but you can fill with pretty much anything that fits.  

There are several turkey themed gift boxes available in Lori’s shop if you are looking for some last minute Thanksgiving ideas.  Be sure to check out Lori’s selection of Thanksgiving cut files in the shop.

Until next time,

3D Pumpkin Tutorial

I wish I could say fall is in the air… not quite yet in New England… so I’m making my own “fall” today!  This adorable 3D Pumpkin (SVG, Silhouette) was the perfect little project to make me feel more autumn-like!  It’s such a cute little decoration, you could fill it with a treat or use it as part of your seasonal tiered tray décor!  Take a peek…

I put together a quick assembly tutorial for this file… it’s really pretty simple….  I started by cutting my pieces. I curled the pumpkin sides using a pencil.  I also went to my stash to find a brad.  It really does not matter what color brad, it gets covered up. A smaller brad would be best.   Next, I folded the score lines of the stem piece all in the same direction. I maneuvered the pieces to create the stem shape and glued it together.

Next I gathered up the pumpkin sides to form the round pumpkin shape.  I chose to place my brad on the inside and have the prongs on the outside.  I found that easier.  You could always do it the other way.  I started bringing up each side, and sliding it over the brad tongs to keep it in place.

When I got to the last few sides, I gently stuck my hand into the pumpkin between 2 of the sides and then folded over the last piece.  If you are going to add a small treat to your pumpkin you will want to add it before you bring over the last side.

Once I had the last side in place, I then added the leaf.  I folded out the prongs of the brad to hold it all in place.  I then glued the stem on top of the brad to cover.  I did have to snip the ends of my brad, but if you used a smaller brad you might not have to.  I only had a large one.

All that was left was to add some fun twine!

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