No Glue Halloween Treat Box

This has got to be the easiest box ever.

No gluing - just cut it out!

There's a free template to download

at the end of my post.

 

I cut a small 'X' at the centre base of the box tabs 

and fed the miniature broomstick through

to lock the box closed.

It's not necessary, just thought it added a bit of

witchy fun.

 

I have a tutorial for the broomstick

on my magic boxes blog HERE

After cutting  the box out;

bring tabs a & b together

then feed them through slits c & d

It's as simple as that.

 

I used two stamps:

1) Inkadinkado clear stamp set

'gem stone flourishes'

2) My Minds Eye clear stamp set

'Haunted' (used the spider)

Stamped using; 

IndigoBlu  'FlitterGlu' - more details later,

then applied glitter directly onto the

stamped image

 

 On my first box I used gold ultra fine glitter 

and a peach colour gem for the spider's body.

 

My second - crystal ultra fine glitter 

(I liked the 'ghosty' effect of this glitter on black card) 

with aurora borealis gemstones for highlights

 

For the one above - 'rainbow orange' ultra fine glitter

highlighted with doodlebug sugar coating 'lily white' glitter.

 

IndigoBlu 'FlitterGlu' - AT LAST

a glue that you can stamp with and it really does

hold the glitter.

 

I can't stop stamping glitter!!!!

 

I recommend you also get the stamp cleaner

especially if, like me, you don't wash your stamps

immediately after using them.

 

It works best with the very fine glitter

the finer the better.

I used Kars extra fine glitter and it picked out

every detail.

No Glue Halloween Treat Box

Best printer settings are UK A4 portrait

and select 'fit to page'

I've allowed for printer margins so it should 

print fully and 'to scale' 

 

The base of this box measures 45mm (1.8inches) square

and it stands 75mm ( 2.9inches) high.

 

 

 

Here I printed the template onto orange card.

Flipped the card over and printed the black & white

'cobweb lace' backing paper on the other side

 (from my previous post) HERE

 



 Thanks for popping by and have fun!
