I am so excited to share with you this year's candy box!! This is the FIFTH year I've done the candy box download, which basically means it's a real tradition now. I love traditions.
I've been thinking about what to do for this box since sometime in September, but haven't nailed any design/style ideas until a couple weeks ago. I recently bought Folding Techniques for Designers a book all about taking paper into 3 dimensions. I'm loving it & learning a TON from it. Between that book & tribal pattern inspiration, I give to you this year's box:
I'm not sure what it is entirely, but it definitely has a very scandinavian feel. This box is a BREEZE to cut out & fold (I say this about a million times in the video, it's embarrassing) you'll be able to make one for every one of your neighbors. This box measures about 2"x4"x2". If you'd like it bigger, take it to your local printer & have them blow it up on 11x17 paper. If you can, print them on an inkjet printer, you'll get better folds this way. Also, you'll want to print on a mid-weight paper. Thick card stock is a bit much, unless you're going for a bigger box.
I've yet to make caramels this year, but I'm sure I'll get around to it. If not, I might just do a stack of chocolate-dipped cookies in here. It's really the perfect size for macarons. I also plan on using Pugly Pixel's glitter tape tutorial for sealing the box.
