KB Stamps: Candy Treat Bucket Tutorial

Hey there! I am up on the Trinity Blog today with a these cute Candy bucket Treat Holders. You can check it out there, but her are a few extra details on how I made them.

1. I cut a strip of paper that was 6.5 X 2.5.

2. Then, I scored the long side from the left at the following spots:

2 1/8 inches
3 1/8 inches (one inch from the last score line)
5 1/4 inches (2 1/8 from the last score line)
6 1/4 inches (one inch from the last score line OR 1/4 inch from right edge)

3. I turned the paper so it was tall and scored from the top to bottom at 1 inch in (1.5 inches from the other edge).

4. I folded all my edges in the same direction. I cut slits along the bottom edge of the long side and cut the flap off the tiny corner that is 1/4 by 1 inch. Here is a visual to help:

The tape for this has to be very strong, I recommend the red tape that is good for 3-D projects or other high tack double sided adhesive tape.

5. Now I put my box together and it looks like this:

There is still tape on the two large sides which I will later adhere to my pumpkins.

7. Next I use a small hole punch and punch two holes on each side of the box. I will use these to add my heavy twine to hold the box.

8. Next I cut out my pumpkin layers. I can use cardstock or Designer Paper- though if I used DP I put a layer of CS behind it to make it a little more sturdy.

9. I cut the faces out using glitter paper. I can reposition the face parts (turning them) to make different faces.

10. Once I have the pumpkin sides done, I adhere them to the box sides being very careful to have good alignment and so the pumpkin will stand on its own using the two outer sides.
