Supplies Needed:

- White cardstock to print on – I printed on 110lb white index paper
- Thin Clear Craft Plastic
- Paper Trimmer and/or scissors
- 1/8″ Hole punch
- Scoring Board
- Craft knife or X-acto knife
- Double sided tape, I used 1/4″ Scor-Tape
- Gelly Roll Stardust Clear Pen
Step by Step Tutorial
Step One: Print the free printable treat boxes on white cardstock. I use 110lb white index paper, but use whatever cardstock works well with your printer. Try to use a weight of at least 65lbs but you will find the heavier the paper the more sturdy your boxes will be. Cut out the two pieces using a scissors.
Step Two: Cut out the windows, notches and handles. Use a craft knife and a self healing mat to cut out the windows. I use a ruler and line my X-Acto knife up against it to get a nice, straight cut. You can choose not to cut out the windows and leave them yellow :)
Step Three: Cover the windows with craft plastic. Once everything is cut out, it is time to cover the windows with craft plastic. I used my Scor-Tape to adhere the craft plastic onto the back side of the treat box pieces.
Step Four: Score along the fold lines. Using a scoring board and stylus will create nice, crisp fold lines. The diagram below shows where you should score the pieces.
Fold along your score lines.
Step Five: Assemble the box! Adhere the two pieces together along the tabs using double-sided tape. I used Score-Tape.
Fold the bottom in.
If you plan to fill the box with any goodies that are on the heavy side, I recommend taping the bottom of the box from the inside. This will prevent the box from opening up.
After I assembled my boxes, I decided to add a little glitter to the roof of my boxes. I used a clear Gelly Roll Stardust pen and traced all the scallops on the roof. I think it adds a nice little shimmer and dresses up the boxes!
The Cozy Cabin treat boxes are finished! Fill them up with chocolates, a s’mores kit, or cookies! Don’t cut out the windows and use this as a gift box or decoration!
