BAT BANNER BOX from a HALF SHEET OF CARDSTOCK with CUTE Halloween DSP - Stampin' Up! *

Shop Stampin' Up! Here

Hi Friends!

My project today is a Halloween Box that will hold 2 fun sized candy bars.  You can make 2 boxes from one sheet of Basic Black Cardstock.  I used Cute halloween Designer Series Paper, Black and White Gingham Ribbon, Simply Scored Tool, Basic Black and Pumpkin Pie Cardstocks.

You can watch my Video Tutorial Here!

I started with a piece of Basic Black Cardstock sized  8 1/2  x  5 1/2.

I scored the  8 1/2" side at:

1 1/2,  4,  5 1/2  and  8".

I scored the  5 1/2" side at:

1 1/2  and  4 3/4".

To cut and put the box together you can watch my Video Tutorial Here.

Below is what your Cardstock should look like after scoring and cutting.

I attached 3 pieces of Cute Halloween Designer Series Paper to the box.

(2)  2 1/4  x  3"  for the front and back

(1)  1/2  x  2 1/4"  for the front flap.

I attached the DSP to the box with Liquid Glue.

I cut another piece of the Cute Halloween DSP to  2 1/4  x  2 1/2".

I put the paper down so the 2 1/4" side was the width.

I made a pencil mark at the bottom of the paper at  1 1/8".

I cut each side of the banner by starting at the mark and cutting diagonally to each top corner.

I attached a  1/4  x  3" piece of Pumpkin Pie Cardstock to the top of the banner with Liquid Glue.

I turned the banner over and trimmed the edges of the strip to match the banner.

I punched two small holes in each side of the strip on the top of the banner with a 1/8" hole punch about 1/4" from each side.

I positioned the banner on the box where I wanted it and made two pencil marks through the holes onto the front flap and punched them out.

I made 2 pencil marks on the body of the box through the flap and punch them also.

I cut an 11" piece of Black and White Gingham Ribbon and put it through the body of the box first, then the back of the flap, and then the banner.

I used a clip to hold the ribbon tight while I tied a bow on top of the banner.
