This box is perfect for your Halloween festivities!! It’s so cute and are easy to make, let the Cricut Maker to all the hard work and have fun filling these with fun treats! This project makes two boxes, to duplicate the project you will only need to cut half as many projects. For example, if you need 20 boxes set your project number to 10 instead of 20, or you will end up with 40 boxes.
Items needed for this project:
- Cricut Design Space
- Cricut Maker Machine
- Fine point blade w/housing
- Fine debossing tool
- Single scoring wheel
- 2 pieces of brown paper (8.5×11)
- 1 piece of white cardstock
- Twine
- Adhesive
Cut/Print project:
Place cardstock in your printer, then click make and select cardstock for materials and print the images. Place on mat and insert the fine point blade w/housing and cut out the images and set aside.
Cutting the Box base pieces
This part takes three steps, using the single scoring wheel, the fine debossing tip, and the fine point blade w/housing. Follow the prompts to change the tools to score, deboss, and cut the box pieces out. Once cut fold all pieces at the score lines and set aside.
Assembling the boxes
The boxes are super easy to put together, one box is in one long piece that connects at the one tab, using the adhesive connect the tab to the other side of the box and let dry.
For the second box, it is in two pieces, you will use the glue to adhere the tabs together to make the two pieces one continuous piece, then adhere the last tab to complete the sides of the box. Once dry, I turn the box over and fold in the tabs, I’ve found that this part can be a bit tricky. To proper put the base together fold in the shorter side that is cut out, then the sides with the small rounded edge. The edges tuck underneath the cut out portion. When these are in place, slide the longer piece in between the two other pieces securing them together. This holds the box base in place without the use of glue.
Now your little box is ready to fill with treats for your Halloween festivities. This box is adorable and easily customizable, making it perfect for any occasion.
