3 Seasonal Little Treat Boxes
(Holiday, Winter & Valentine's)

Dec 2020 TreatBoxes Banner

This year, little touches will help make spirits merry and bright, so I am creating more little treats to share. It is the perfect way to share a bit of joy, even with those I can not celebrate with in person.
This month's tutorial features 3 Seasonal Little Treat Boxes that you will love to create and your friends will be excited to receive. I have even included a short list of ideas for filling them!

Let's go create something cute and useful!

1. Snowflake Little Treat Box

Die cut 6" x 6" Snowflake Splendor Designer Series Paper (#153512) with the Little Treat Box Die. Fold on all score lines with a Bone Folder.

2. Fold Little Treat Box

Fold the sides of the box in and tuck the tabs into the slot. If you slide the tab into the slot from the inside of the box the seam will be smooth and the tab won't stick out.

3. Finish Little Treat Box

The Little Treat Box can be assembled without any adhesive, just using ribbon to tie the top of the box close. Or you can add a bit of adhesive to keep the front and back flaps upright without the ribbon being tied.

Stamp candy image around the left and bottom of the greeting with Magenta Madness ink. Stamp off three times before stamping to get a lighter version of this intense colour.
