Instructions: Treatbox

Especially now in Advent there are so many little things that can be beautifully packaged.

This treat box is really quick and easy to make. It looks magical and offers plenty of space for lovely gifts.

What material you need:

• (1x) sheet of design paper for a box

  (for the optional tabs in the box at the end you will need a second sheet of design paper)

• Optional: some ribbon

Tool:

• Paper cutter with folding board
• Scissors
• Bone folder /folding pen
• ruler
• Glue

Optional:

• Small circle punch
• Punching and embossing machine
• Corner rounder

Cut and fold design paper

Take the design paper and cut it to the dimensions 27 cm x 30.5 cm. When choosing the design paper, remember that the design will be the wrong way around in some places on the box because it is folded from a sheet. If necessary, choose a more neutral motif.

Now you need to draw more diagonal fold lines. To do this, grab your folding pencil and a ruler . Draw four fold lines from corner to corner as shown in the sketch.

Trace all the fold lines you drew once with the bone folder.

Turn the design paper so that the unprinted white side is on top. Apply glue to the areas marked in gray here. Then fold the entire strip, which also contains the glued triangles, towards the middle. Paint the glued triangles in place.

You can round off the corners of the insertion tab with a corner rounder . On the opposite side you can punch out a semicircle in the middle. With this opening, the box can be opened more easily at the end using the insertion tab.

Complete the basic shape

The cut tabs now need to be glued to the inner box.

Using the adhesive tab, stick them to the short side walls that border the bottom of the box. They ensure that the box has a nicer edge when opened.

Now you can fold the box from the short sides into a box using the folded edges. To close the box, push the insert tab into the pocket on the opposite side. You can also wrap a nice ribbon around it.

Congratulations, your box is ready! You can now fill and decorate these as you wish.

We hope you enjoy crafting.
