This weekend I participated in my first craft fair of the season and it was held at one of the Veteran’s Hall in our area. I thought it would be fun to create a cute Patriotic Thank You Candy Box. The Stitched Stars Dies made a cute window for this adorable treat box.

PROJECT MEASUREMENTS AND INSTRUCTIONS:

Real Red Base for Box cut at 6 1/2″ x 10 1/2″
Score along the 10 1/2″ Side at 1/2″, 2″, 5 1/2″, 7″
Score along the 6 1/2″ Side at 1 1/2″ and 5″
With the 1/2″ side facing down (6 1/2″ Side) cut up to the 2″ score line on both sides
Remove both corners from bottom up to about 1 1/2″ leaving about 1/2″
Still with the box in Portrait Mode, cut at the 5 1/2″ Line and 7″ line to create flaps. Be sure to cut a little extra off each side (SEE PHOTO BELOW) so the flaps close more evenly.
Flip over box with Large Square towards top
Adhere (3) 3/4″ x 3 1/2″ Basic White Strips to top of Box
Place 3rd Largest Star (3″) from Stitched Stars Dies in the middle
PRO TIP: KEEP DIE-CUT STAR FOR TAG OR ANOTHER CARD
Cut a 3 1/4″ x 3 1/4″ Window Sheet and adhere to the back
Use Tear Tape or Stampin Seal Plus for the best results for adhesive. Adhere two side panels where your star is located and two inside Flap pieces.
To Finish off your box I Embossed sentiment in white embossing powder on Night of Navy Cardstock.
