Graduation Cap Party Favor Lidded Box!

Hello friends, today I'm here to share another cool and fun craft. I love to celebrate Little V's accomplishments, she works really hard throughout the year to get all her activities well done and I think it's only fair to celebrate this milestone with her.

We both love handmade things and we appreciate it very much. When I was her age I didn't appreciate handmade things like she does and I'm grateful that now I do and that I somehow managed to help her to appreciate these things like she does.

Let's get to it, shall we?



We will show you how to make this cute Graduation Cap Party Favor - Lidded Box! Isn't it, cute? You can also use it as a gift box, depending on the size of the gift you're giving.

Check the video below to see the instructions.





Measurements for the lid:

1 piece of carstock measuring 2.5 x 2.5 inches or 6.5 x 6.5 cm

1 piece of cardstock measuring 4-1/16 x 4-1/16 inches or 10.2 x 10.2 cm, this piece of cardstock you will score at 1 inch or 2.5 cm on all four sides

Measurements for the base:

1 piece of cardstock measuring 6 x 6 inches or 15 x 15 cm, this piece of cardstock you will score at 2 inches or 5 cm on all 4 sides.

This project was inspired  by Sam Donald, and I added my touches and made it a graduation cap party favor box.

If you miss the video on how to make the tassel here's the video:




Here is a list of the materials you would need to make this project:

- Scoring board, this one has both imperial and metric system.

Graduation Party Favor!!

Hello there, first of all I want to apologize for the delay in bringing you this second project of our Gradution Theme Craft Series. Life happens and I was so really busy last week, I didn't have a chance to get to film the video at all, but I'm hoping you'll agree with me that it's better later than never!

Without anymore delay lets get to it, shall we?

Today, I'll be sharing this cute little treat box so you can make it in time for a Graduation Party. Not may tools needed and this is a quick project. I made these boxes many times before so I basically know the measurements by heart.





From a 12 x 12 inches piece of cardstock or Designer Paper, you can make 4 boxes and for me that's a great deal!

Here a list of tools you will need:
- scoring board either in metric (cm) or imperial (inches) or one that has both metric and imperial measurements, with this last one you can also trim the paper.
- bone folder (sometimes come with the scoring tool) but in case you want a separate one
- double sided craft tape
- mini decorative clothespins
- designer paper in silver or gold
- graduation theme sicker 

Now, let's watch the video!



Directions:

Piece of 6 x 6 inches or 15 x 15 cm paper

Score at:

Score line 1: 1-3/8 inches or 3.5 cm
Score line 2: 2-3/4 inches or 7 cm
Score line 3: 4-1/8 inches or 10.5 cm
Score line 4: 5-1/2 inches or 14 cm

Flip you paper once and score at 1-3/8 inches or 3.5 cm.

Use your creativity and decorate it as you wish, have fun playing with paper!

Hope you enjoyed this project, it was inspired by the super talented Sam Donald. If you have any questions please, feel free to leave a comment below or send me a message through the contact form.
