Halloween 10 Week Countdown Week 3

Over the next 10 weeks I'll share a new and fun Halloween idea all the way up to October 31!  If you don't craft for Halloween, don't worry!  You can adapt all of these ideas to any holiday or occasion.  Today I have a fun non-candy treat.  At the Target Dollar Spot (my favorite place!) I found a package of 6 mini nail polish bottles.  They're little and they're perfect for gifting!   

Here are the measurements for the box.  You'll need a piece of cardstock that is 7 1/4 x 3 3/4" On the 3 3/4" side score at 1 1/4" and 2 1/2". On the 7 1/4" side score 2 1/2" inches just on the top and bottom of the cardstock, leave the center panel clear.  Continue scoring along the entire cardstock at 3", 4 1/4", 5 1/2", 6 3/4".
When you're done scoring you should have a piece that looks like this.  Cut along the solid lines and fold and burnish on the dotted score lines.  You'll notice that first vertical score line at 2 1/2" is only scored on the top and bottom.  The center section will be the back of your holder.  I used a 3/4" Circle punch to punch the hole for the lid.  I've notched in the sides of the box as well for easier assembly.
The half inch flaps adhere to the back of the box.  The side panels fold up and create the rest of the box.
Don't put any adhesive on the 3 flaps on the lid, that so your gift can open and close.  Now you can decorate your box with DSP or anything else!  Join me next week for week 4 of the countdown.  

Thanks for looking, see you soon!!
