I made 20 of these adorable boxes for my daughter to hand out to her friends at school. She wanted to put Nerds and SweetTarts into them rather than chocolate. They're super cute and easy to make. It only took about an hour for all 20 of them.
I used the dimensions found on Cambria Turnbow's blog as follows:
Cut your cardstock 4.5 x 8
Score the short end in 1 inch on each side.
Score the long side at 2inches, 3 inches, 5 inches and 6 inches.
On the score lines that you made at five and six inches, cut on those lines until you reach the vertical score. That makes two tabs
On the two and three inch score lines, cut in to the first score line, then flip it, and also cut down the vertical line. So, three inches on each side the flaps will be gone.
Stamp and fold your box.
Hope this helps those of you who asked for dimensions. Thanks to Cambria for the inspiration.
