Takeout Treats

Hello Friends!

Happy Friday to everyone - at least I hope it has been.

I went to the dollar store this morning...dangerous place! I was looking for one thing and walked out with twenty things - none of which were the one thing I originally wanted. Because that's what happens at the dollar store. Let me tell you - if you need decorations for the 4th of July, you should go there! I found some great paper lanterns and cool paper rosette...thingys. I'll share pictures on Monday since I didn't manage to get any today.

 

That's because I was working on a design for these takeout boxes. I love them - so cute and customizable and perfect for favors at parties, showers, or weddings. I made a pattern from one I had and then converted it to a cut file for the Silhouette.

 

I found this cardstock a few weeks ago at Target; of course it was the colors that caught my eye. It worked out great for these boxes, even though it's only 65 lb. weight.

 

This box is a cinch make. Just fold at the perforations (which are already in the cut file) and then glue the one tab at the side of the box. Fold the bottom tabs closed and then insert ribbon or twine or rickrack in the holes on the box sides. After filling the box, fold the top tabs to enclose the contents and give away to someone you love!

 

Here's the '.studio' cut file.

Have a wonder-filled weekend!

Stay tuned.
