Christmas Tree Boxes

A friend of mine, Joy, showed me the pattern for this Christmas tree box, and I had to have a go at making a couple of them.

(I'm happy to share the template but first have to work out how to do that on this blog. All suggestions gratefully received! :) )

I traced the template onto green cardstock, then traced and cut out the trees from white card. I then coloured the berries and the leaves with metallic gel pens. After assembling the box, I poked a hole through the top of both the trees and added a star brad. I didn't have any gold or silver star brads, so I  used a pastel coloured one from my stash and covered it with silver glitter glue.

These boxes can easily fit 2 Ferrero Rochers. ( You can squeeze three in if you like.)

 

Here is another  version of the same box. it is made the same way, but this time I made the base from white card and the trees from green card, and used the Merry Christmas words embossing folder.

After embossing the trees, I sanded them with the Couture Creations Sanding Block.The card that I used has a white core which is exposed when sanded.
