Slide and Lock Box-VIDEO

Do I have the cutest box to share with you today!!!! This is a box where you'll definitely want to check out the video to learn the how to on this box. But I promise it's easy and won't disappoint! I'm calling it a Slide and Lock Box. The tag on the front slides back and forth locking and unlocking the box lid. It's pretty amazing! I used the Hippo Happiness Bundle to make an adorable Easter Treat box. I also brought in the beautiful Hydrangea Hill DSP.

This box was inspired by German Demonstrator Nadine Weiner. I saw her project on Pintrest and I had to create my version. You can check out Nadine's project here. The top has two flaps and a sliding element, one of the flaps is shorter than the other and when the slider is out of the shorter flap the box will open.

Once the top flaps are open there is an additional flap to keep your treats safe and sound. This box looks super complicated, but I promise it's easier than you think. Check out my video for all the details.

To make the box, you'll need a piece of cardstock that is 8" x 7".

On the short side score at 1 1/4" from each side.

On the long side score at 1 1/4", 3 3/4", 5", 7 1/2"

For the longer part of the lid you'll need a piece of cardstock and DSP that is cut to 2 1/2" x 5 3/4" score the long side at 1 1/8"

For the shorter part of the lid you'll need a piece of cardstock and DSP that is cut to 2 1/2" x 3 1/4" score the long side at 1 1/8"

This box is sized perfectly for a Hershey's Marshmallow Egg. These are everywhere right now. Check your local grocery store. But the box will hold all kinds of treats if you can't find these. Check out the video for all the details on this card. I have a full supply list below, you can shop for all of these products in my Online Store.
