Valentine's Day Card Box

For those that followed my last post, I dug deep into my Graphic Design archives to recreate a package design template for my daughters pre-school Valentine's Day party. I noticed a lot of the ideas on Pinterest that consisted of used cereal boxes etc, but I am terrible at wrapping things, especially with card stock paper.....so I though the best option would be for Kyleigh and I to create our own box!

Project success, I found a template online to help make the box cuts and folds.  From there I custom designed and illustrated patterns on all 4 sides of the box template, printed, scored, and cut.....

I typically don't share step by steps, but though this one would be fun for all to see!

Template:

1) Design printed, scored/folded and cut to the correct shape to custom create a milk carton.  Tools: ruler, hole punch, glue dots, bone folder, matte razor.

2) Next, started adding glue dots and attached the bottom of the box together for stability.

3)  Once the bottom and side was adhered, stood the box up to get ready to score and attach the top.

4)  Kyleigh helped me punch the 2 holes and pick out the ribbon color!  

5) And the finished product!  

Next, time to get Kyleigh's Valentine's Day cards ready!!!!
