Triangle Valentine Box
Here is another Valentine Treat Box – it is a triangle shaped box and actually very easy to make and the best part is you don’t need any adhesive to keep the box shut – the ribbon holds it shut! I used the Love You Much Bundle for this project too. Today is the last day to order the bundle at 20% off. You can still order all the pieces – the Love You Much stamp set, Candy Lane Designer Series Paper and the Heart to Heart punch – they will just be regular price.
Ok – onto the project – the box idea is from a demonstrator named Irene that lives in Germany. My parents are from Germany so I grew up with them speaking German to me. I would not say that I can really speak German – I did take classes in college and I can muddle through, I can even read some and understand – but it is one of those things where you really need to do it all the time – and well I don’t. But I was able to watch the video that was in German and understand what she was saying – I just had to convert all the measurements to inches – since that is what we are used to. What I ended up with looks like the box she created whether or not the measurements are exactly the same as hers – I’m not really sure – but mine works. So here is what I did. Cut a piece of card stock in half long ways – so it is 4-1/4″ by 11″. Then score it in half all the way across at the 5-1/2″ mark on the long side. On each short side mark the center – this is 2-1/8″. Now this is the only tricky part – you have to line up the score marks on a diagonal on your paper cutter so that you can score from the 2-1/8″ mark to the 5-1/2″ spot – you do this on all four sides – which basically forms a diamond shaped. Fold on all the scores lines so that you make a triangle box. Punch holes through both layers at the top to feed your ribbon through. Once you get it – it really is easy. Here is the finished picture:
