These 2,4,6,8 boxes make a cute treat box. You can use as party favors at baby and bridal showers. Also at your next party - have one box at each place setting at the table.
Instructions:
Start with 1/2 sheet cardstock (5-1/2 x 8-1/2)
On the 5-1/2” side, score at 2”, 4”, 6”, & 8”. There will be a 1/2” piece left.
Now turn and score at 2” on the 8-1/2” side.
Cut the 1/2” x 2” piece out as indicated above. Cut up to the 2” score line (this will be the bottom of the box.
Place a strip of Red adhesive tape on the 1/2” piece as indicated above. Also put Red tape around one of the 2” square pieces as shown above. You can see I trimmed off about 1/8” from this. (When the bottom is folded, it just makes everything fit better).
At this point you will want to stamp on your box, as you just can’t do it after you have made into the box.
Next, fold the box on all the score lines. Remove the adhesive strip from the 1/2” side tab. Fold the box into a square and secure.
Remove the red film from the tape strips on the one bottom flap. Now fold the bottom pieces as indicated by the numbers (Fold Up #1, Fold Up #2, etc). When you fold up the last flap (#4) press to firmly adhere.
Turn box over. Squeeze two opposite sides together, and the top of you box should look like this picture.
Now make notches on the four corners as indicated above
This is what the top will look like when a ribbon is tied around it.
