Guest Designer Jenn Koss: Hanging Gift box

Hi! JennK here, I am

so excited to be here with all of you.

Today I will be sharing a tutorial on how to make a hanging treat box. This is a Super fun and easy project. You can use it in a variety of ways. So let's get started.

First a list of supplies you will need.

5 1/2" X 11" piece of cardstock or heavy patterned paper to use as your box base

Paper cutter

Scoring tool

Circle punch/maker the size of the hole your box will hang onto.

Corner rounder

Adhesive

embellishments (patterned papers, stickers, stamps, ribbon etc.) Your choice.

Alrighty lets get started.

Step 1

Take your 5 1/2" X 11" piece of cardstock and score at 4" and 4 1/2" on the 11" side.

Step 2

Now score your cardstock on the 5 1/2" side at 1/2", 1", 4 1/2" and 5"

(no need to draw the lines in, just did this so you can see where the score lines should be)

Step 3

Now you need to cut away the sections of cardstock shown below.

Step 4

Cut a slit on both sides to create tabs to be folded in. fold on all score lines.

Round the corners on the long back panel and cut your hole.

Step 5

Decorate the front area as desired then assemble your box using a strong adhesive. If you find it easier to assemble your box first you can do this also. Again this is totally up to you.

Now you can hang your treat box onto whatever you like. Then fill with some small treats. I hung mine on a bottle of wine for a fun New Years gift for the hostess.

I hope you have enjoyed this tutorial and will give it a try. For my project I used the Cosmo Cricket EARTH LOVE papers and embellishments. You can find them in the store here.

Thanks for stopping by today. Wishing you and your family a great New year ahead!

Hugs, JennK
