Slider Gift Box

Today I came across this cute Slider Gift Box design by Brenda Quintana and had to give it a try. This little box measures 4 1/2″ x 2″ and just under an inch in depth. The best part is they don’t require a lot of supplies and a wonderful way to use up excess designer series paper. I also think they would make a fun package to add a child’s birthday loot bag.

The box fits perfectly into the covered sleeve and holds four fun size candy bars. Of course, you could also fill the box with small treats instead.

Anyways, let me show you how to make them. I warn you though, they are addictive to make!

YOU WILL NEED THE FOLLOWING SUPPLIES

Basic White Card Stock

7 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ (box)
7 3/8″ x 5 3/8″ (sleeve)

Designer Series Paper

2 3/4″ x 4 1/2″ ( Optional inside liner)
4 1/2″ x 4″ (0utside sleeve)

TO MAKE THE BOX

Score the box piece at 3/4″ and 1 1/2″ on all four sides
Fold and burnish all score lines
With the paper facing you on on the long side, cut up the two vertical score lines up to the second horizontal score line. This will give you two flaps at each end.
Turn your paper 180 degrees and repeat so all four corners have two flaps.
In each corner, cut away the two outside squares completely on the first flap.
On the second flap, only cut away the bottom square
On the short side, add adhesive to the outside rectangles and fold inwards
On the long side, add adhesive to the outside rectangles and fold inwards, making sure the two small flaps are tucked inside so they don’t show.
Option: If you want you can add the DSP liner to the inside of the box.
Pop in your small candy bars or treats and set aside.

TO MAKE THE SLEEVE

Adhere the DSP to one end of the long side of the card stock
Flip over and score the card stock on the long side at 3/4″, 3 1/4″ 4″ and 6 1/2″
Fold and burnish the score lines
Fold the 3/4″ flap inwards and add adhesive to the flap without DSP, then fold the other end inwards to close up.
This creates your sleeve.

TIP: Be aware of the directional paper. It should be facing upward towards the opposite end of the card stock.

FINISHING OFF YOUR GIFT BOX

Slide the sleeve over the box
Tie a ribbon around the box on the left side
Decorate the top of the box with flowers and a cute tag.

I think this box would make a perfect hostess gift when going to a friends house for dinner, or maybe a thank you gift for someone special. Of course the best gifts of all, are gifts given, just because. They always generate a smile!

Here are a few others I made. They are so quick to put together.
