Treat Box

Hello dear friends! Fabiola here sharing a tutorial for my inspirational post. For today I decided to make a milk carton treat box, for a little girl who is going as super girl for Halloween, so I thought this was just perfect for her. So without further ado here is my tutorial....

Cut a piece of cardstock measuring 8''x12''


On the 12'' side score @ 2 1/2'', 5'', 7 1/2'', 10''


On the 8'' side score @ 1 1/2'', 5 1/2'', 7 1/2''


Fold and crease your score lines like so 


Cut the left small bottom piece and split to the score line the other 3 like so. Discard the little piece or keep it to make a small tag with it for your treat box. 


On the outside part of the flap where you cut the small rectangle, add some glue like this, covering the whole area, especially the edges.


Fold it over and glue the opposite side. You should have something like this



Fold and glue the bottom flaps like so 




On the other ends push the sides in like so



You are now ready to decorate your treat box. I have used Halloween papers, and the wonderful image is Super Girl Lili, I have colored her with Copic markers, if you don't have her, you have to get her, she is so easy to color, and the image can be used in so many different projects (Halloween, stay strong, etc) 

Here is my completed treat box


and a side view

Happy Scrapping friends!!!!!
