Ghoulish gourds all in a row...
I thought I'd share another little treat project today. How cute is this little row of pumpkins?! It's very basic and super easy to make, and I'll be selling a few of these at an upcoming craft fair. Sorry about the photos... it was cloudy when I snapped them.
I created a little accordian-folded divider so that the little guys wouldn't move around in the box. May I just say: the Scor-Pal makes crafty life so easy sometimes! I created a template, however it is not to scale... but it is so seriously easy you can just line it up on the SP and go to town:
This box feels nice and sturdy because I have an extra side piece that folds over... this also creates a nice finished top edge. I did trim a smidgen off of the outer piece that folds over and in so it would fit correctly. The acetate lid is created with the same box bottom template, except omit the two outer 1" x 5-1/4" sections. I just used a mini glue dot to secure each flap so that there would be minimal adhesive that would show. You could also use an eyelet if you wanted a more polished appearance.
I wrapped the little pumpkins in food safe plastic before putting them into the box... this will keep them fresher and cardstock won't stick to them! Supplies: TAC's promotional stamp set More Bone Appetit, Penelope & kraft cardstocks, copper eyelet, acetate, and some paper ribbon raffia.
What do you think?!
