In this tutorial, I'll show you how to create simple candy boxes perfect for a party or any celebration. It all depends on the paper design. You can use a more elegant one for a wedding, or a more child-friendly one for children's birthdays. And just as you can fill them with candy, you can also put chocolates or a small gift inside.
Materials
To make the candy boxes you will need the following materials:
- Patterned paper
- Scissors
- Pencil
- Bow or ribbon
- Glue stick
I also leave you the following template that will help you move to the patterned paper so you can cut and make the shape easily.
Step by step
To make the candy boxes , start by printing the template I just showed you and tracing it onto the patterned paper. The template is ready to print on A4 paper or half a sheet of paper (A5). The size depends on how big you want your box. If you want it smaller, print it on half a sheet of paper; if you want it bigger, print it on a full sheet of paper.
Choose a patterned paper to match the celebration.
Cut the patterned paper along the lines that you have marked from the template.
Fold the triangles inward.
And also fold the paper along the dashed lines that appear on the template.
This way you can start gluing the box. I have done it with glue stick, but you can do it with white glue or glue and a half. To hold it while it does not adhere well you can put some tweezers on the joints that you have glued, so they will hold you together until the adhesive dries and you will not have to be holding the box.
Close as you see the box, but do not join the top part yet.
Before closing it, you must keep the candies or chocolates that you want it to have inside the box.
Now you can close it. Join the top and wrap it with a bow or ribbon.
To make it look better, you can add a bow.
And you will have your box of candies or chocolates ready to give to your party guests.
