Hues of Happiness Club Member Treat

Hi Friends!

I showed these club member treats on last Friday's Facebook Live and promised I'd get a blog post up to share how to make them :).

So, here goes......

These are actually treat boxes I've made a number of times over the past few year.

They look A LOT more complicated than they actually are to make (at least, I think they do!).

Here's a video I made a few years ago. This will show you how to cut and assemble the box. I'll give the new/current products actually used on this box below.

I also listed the steps below. They will make a lot more sense if you watch the video, too!

For these treat boxes, I started with a 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" piece of Mango Melody card stock.
Score along the 5 1/2" side at 1 1/2" and 4".
Score along the 8 1/2" side at 1 3/4", 3 1/2", 5", 6 3/4" (and also at 1/2" on one end, but only on each side and not in the middle)
Cut along the 1 1/2" and 4" score marks to the intersecting score marks.
Cut off 1/2" tabs on one end.
Cut up along the middle tabs on the long side.
Cut on a diagonal on all 4 tabs on each side of the middle flap.
Adhere 4 pieces of DSP cut to 2 1/4" x 1 1/2" to the middle sections (but not on the bottom).
Add Tear & Tape to the 4 end flaps and put the box together.
