Bouquet of Chocolates in a Handmade Box

Many of you have enjoyed my Bouquet of Chocolates YouTube Video Tutorial however, as I have subscribers from all over the world I am aware that you can not get the same boxes of chocolates that I have used so this is why I have come up with this new video tutorial.

0165fe6ffab889d43583bd7141dce23275a66ca37301be609527535ce5f4565f3905b2695fa97122695f

In this Video Tutorial I show you how to make a box from one sheet of 12 x 12 inch cardstock and some patterned paper to decorate.

This way you can make this project even using sweets or chocolates out of a packet as long as they have wrapper ends for you to attach to the sticks.

Here is what your 12×12 inch cardstock should look like.

Envelope Punch Board Cracker Boxes

Do you find Christmas Crackers expensive and always have tiny gifts that you will never use?
Why not make your own Cracker Boxes? These stand nicely on your festive table and can be filled with your own personal gift, lottery/scratch card, paper hat and fun fact.

I used to buy Cracker Boxes and fill them but now with my Envelope Punch board I can make my own.

By using one sheet of 12″ x 12″ cardstock you can make one box and decorate it too!

They are sturdy enough to be used year after year so once you have made and decorated them you can use and keep them for years to come.
By adding a name tag they can also be used as place settings.
I fill mine with a gift which is personal to the recipient (nail polish, lip stick, hand cream, socks, chocolates)
I also put in a lottery ticket or scratch card for a bit of extra fun.
Off the internet I also print off some fun facts that are great as a talking point around the table.
A christmas paper hat and a small chocolate finishes off the cracker box and makes it a much more exciting table decoration.

You can make these of different sizes so they can be used as gift boxes all year round.
