How To Make A Cupcake Treat Box

Posted by lauralooloo

Laura W.

Here in Saginaw, Michigan - we have a lot of little specialty bake shops!  We love those little carry containers used to hold things like muffins or cupcakes! 

Laura shows us how we can make our own personalized take out boxes using the Scor-Pal and papers from My Mind's Eye.

Along with some basics like scissors and adhesives, you'll need the following to start this project:

Lime Twist patterned paper by My Mind's Eye
Stickers
Scor-Pal
Baker's Twine

Laura used this cute elongated Chinese take-out 'type' box as inspiration and as a pattern:

Carefully take the box apart and trace the shape onto the back of your patterned paper.  You'll need to then cut out the shape and score and fold where necessary.  Using a scoring board like the Scor-Pal here is incredibly helpful to ensure your folds are crisp and your box ends up looking...well, like a box!

If you don't have a box in hand to use as a pattern, there are tons of free printable box templates available online.  Just use your browser to find the size and shape that's perfect for your project.

You'll end up with something that looks like this:

Laura used some baker's twine along with a punched out circle shape of Kraft Paper and added a cute sticker.  She created a matching card to complete the treat box project.  This is really perfect as a teacher gift, coworker's birthday or a housewarming gift!  You just have to decide how you're going to fill it!

Welcome Mindy - October 2012 Guest Designer: ACherryOnTop.com Crafts

Screenname: MindySue

Name:  Mindy

 

A Bit About Mindy:  I have lived in beautiful Sitka, Alaska for the past 25 years.  My husband and I just got our one and only child settled in her dorm for her first year at college, at Arizona State in Tempe, AZ.  Now we are empty nesters.  I'm sad about that, but excited to have more time to devote to my passion....scrapbooking and creating altered items.  I'm going part time at the job I've held for the last almost 18 years and will be starting another part time job this fall which I hope leads to a new career down the road, and allows me more time to be creative.

Q & A Section:

 

Favorite color: Lime-green and yellow

 

I mostly create: Split pretty much between layouts and altered items.  I'm trying to work on doing more cards. 

 

My guilty pleasure is:  Theobroma Chocolates (made locally in Sitka)

Mindy began scrapbooking in 1993 and has been a part of he A Cherry On Top Community for many years!  She selected products from Echo Park Paper to create her projects.  Welcome Mindy!

Visit our Contests & Challenges forum for inspirational fun throughout the month of October!
