A Sweetheart pull box tutorial

You may remember this little treat box I posted a couple of days ago. Well, I've had a request to share how I made it and I was happy to oblige! :)

Now, before I begin, I actually found this box on Splitcoast (so I'm not inventing anything new!) but I looked high and low for a tutorial on how to make it and couldn't find a thing! I was able to read that people had just modified Beate's tutorial on "Pull Treats" from Splitcoast here. This is merely my translation and what I did. I hope you find it useful!


Step 1: Cut your cardstock to 4" x 7 1/4", stamp and score at 3/4", 3 1/4", 4" and 6 1/2"

Step 2: Fold along score lines and place one line of sticky strip on one OUTSIDE flap and one line of sticky strip on the opposite INSIDE flap.

Step 3: Adhere the pieces together, where one flap overlaps the other. Your box should look like this now. (I was able to find the Sweethearts candy boxes already available at my local Dollar Tree)


Step 4: Now take your slot punch and punch a hole on one end, about 1/2" down and centered. Do the same for the opposite side


Step 5: Measure approximately 18" of ribbon. This is what ends up being tied around your box


Step 6: Take that ribbon and run both ends, from inside to out, through the box. You should have a loop at the inside that your Sweethearts box will "sit" on.


Step 7: Slide your Sweetheart box in so that the bottom of the box sits on the bottom of your ribbon.



Step 9: Now you can tie the ribbon to the top of your box and, using the tied part, pull your box up and slide it in and out with ease.


Finish decorating and voila!

Thanks for getting "in stamping mode!"
