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.

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"
