Yesterday I shared some of the alternative ideas my Paper Pumpkin Players made with the October 2016 Paper Pumpkin kit. I promised I would share with you today how to make the fold-over box using one of the cards in the kit. I have made lots of these boxes in the past using a piece of 4 1/4 x 7 1/2 card stock. I really like how the cards in the kit are colored on the outside and whisper white on the inside. The card in the kit comes prescored so first you need to cut 1 inch from the card base so it measures 4 1/4 x 7 1/2. With the long side across the top (make sure the prescored line is at the 4 1/4″ mark), score at 1, 3 1/4, and 6 1/2. (*If you were making this with a piece of card stock you would also need to score at 4 1/4. The card in the Paper Pumpkin kit is already scored at 4 1/4.) Then with the short side across the top, score at 1 and 4 1/2.
Cut up to the scored lines along the long side using your paper snips. Notch each of the 6 tabs and add tear & tape (or other strong adhesive) on each of the notched pieces.
Adhere the notched to the rectangle pieces to form the box.
You can decorate your box top as desired and add a small gift (jewelry 🙂 ), candy, etc.
Every year I make a Blessing Mix for Thanksgiving and this box is the perfect size to use as table favors or gifts. I typed the “recipe” and cut them apart. It fits nicely in the bottom of the box with the blessing mix on top.
