Acetate Treat Box Tutorial

Basically I use the dimensions for a 2-4-6-8 Box with Designer Series paper and of course, Acetate (I use a Clear Write-on Transparency Film)

1. Cut a sheet of card stock to 8 1/2" x 7 1/2".

2. Stamp sheet as desired. Or use a window sheet like I did.

3. Insert scoring blade on paper cutter. Score at 2", 4", 6" and 8" along the 8 1/2" length side of card stock piece. You will have a 1/2" section left over.

4. Turn card stock piece 90 degrees, and score entire length of card stock at the 2" mark. (Your scoring blade will travel 8-1/2" down.

5. Look at your scored card stock piece. Take scissors and trim off the 2" x 1/2" section (not the 5 1/2" x 1/2" section). *Note: The 5 1/2" x 2" sections are the box and the 2" x 2" sections are the box bottom.

6. Cut each 2" score mark along the 8 1/2" side. (You will be making three straight cuts, each along the 2" score marks). Do not cut beyond the long score mark running the length of the 8 1/2" side.

7. Fold along all score marks.

8. Place a section of sticky strip tape along the 5 1/2" x 1/2" flap on the decorated/stamped side. Seal the top part of the box closed.

9. Fold up the four 2" x 2" pieces; this is the bottom of your box. Use a sticky strip on the last 2" x 2" piece to seal the bottom of the box.

For the box top and bottom

1. Cut a piece of card stock to 8 1/2" by 3 1/2"

2. Score on the 8 1/2" side at 2",4",6" and 8" leaving a 1/2" tab.

3. Turn 90 degrees and score 1" this will be your scalloped edge.

4. Turn 180 degrees and score 1/2".

5. Cut off 1/2" tabs on all but one panel.

6. Remove one of the 2" by 2" panels

7. Fold scores and dry assemble box top.

8. Add sticky strip to 1/2" tabs and attach.

9. Repeat for bottom.
