 Hey everybody thank you for watching today, so I've got another nice packaging idea, so this time I've got four tonics teacakes in this little display box. I actually made something very similar about three years ago and I was going back through my older tutorials and just looking at ways to kind of revamp them, changing them up a little bit. That one I had as a Valentine's gift box and I filled it with Hershey's Kisses, I believe that was right and there was tissue in it. I'll link it up here because it's really nice and if you're liking the acetate kind of look then I think you'll enjoy that one. I've actually probably put together an acetate playlist because there's lots of other boxes that I've done as well. But here you have it, now this is a plastic candy cane, near the time I'm actually going to put a real candy cane, an edible one in here and I also thought you could maybe have a gift tag with a teabag or something so it's like a nice little kind of treat to have when they're having a break or something. Perfect gifts for maybe dropping something to your neighbour, maybe it's someone you don't know enough but you want to give them a gift maybe like the postman, you know the your delivery guy, things like that. So I just think they're lovely little gifts and very easy and quick to make so let me show you how. Okay so I always pick these up for a pound. If you buy two boxes you can make three of these for £2. So three little gifts for £2 I think is really good and they're delicious. So I only had four left in the other box so I never needed an excuse to buy more anyway because I eat a lot of those. I'm using the Happy Christmas, these are the chunky stickers from Simply Creative and then I've just got bits and pieces there that I'm going to use to decorate. The acetate I'm using is this one here and it's the high quality grade Crafters Companion, it's 9 by 12 inches and it's perfect for the use of the German Eye foil press as well. Okay so first of all we'll do the base or the tray so you'll need a piece of this here is 8 and 1 eighth of an inch. It's that size because it's to fit specifically for tunics teacakes. Okay so what you want to do is score it 1 and 2 on all four sides. This is going to be reinforced so it's a really nice strong tray so 1 and 2 inches on all four sides. Okay so you can see all of the score lines there. Whilst I've got the scoreboard out I will also use score the acetate so this here is a piece of 7 and 1 eighth but you want to take a slither off of it. Now the slither is always one sixteenth of an inch. Within every inch there are 16 markers. When you look at Arula it's not so good on this scoreboard but if you look on Arula there are 16. Now the easiest way to do this is on my trimmer here I can see the 7 and 1 eighth. 7 and 1 eighth just there that little line just here, that is the one that I want to now come to. So that would be 7 and 1 sixteenths of an inch. If you break all these lines down, if you counted all of them, there are 16 up to the 8 inches there. Okay so yours will come in at 7 and 1 eighth, or you'll be cutting yours from scratch, but you want to come down just to that little notch or little marker just after the 7. Okay and that like I said is 7 and 1 sixteenths and we need to just bring in that little bit just to fit it nicely within the tray. You can just do 7 and 1 eighths but it will look a little bit squashed. Now with this one you're gonna score it one and a half on all four sides. So one and a half, one and a half, one and a half and one and a half. Now as I score this they're all kind of coming you know they're starting to fold towards me like upwards. So if you turn it over that will now become the top because you might as well follow the flow of where these pieces are wanting to already go. So I'm going to stick with this piece now. I'm going to move the scoreboard because I think you'll be able to see actually. I think you can see the acetate better with the scoreboard there so I'll keep that. So what you want to do here is you're going to cut down one of these pieces here and basically you're going to remove the square in all of the corners. There's a square there, square there and there's a square here. You want to remove those and I would say remove the score line so just cut the score line away but get a nice point on the corner of this main square. So I'm just going to go around again. Okay so now you can see I've removed the squares in each of the corners there. Okay and then if you just with your fingers just burnish those score lines a little bit more so that it's all folding in and you can kind of manipulate them out a bit but now you've got this lid that's going to slot into the tray. Okay then moving on to the base you want to fold and burnish all of those score lines. Okay like so and then this time pick a side it doesn't matter which one because they're all the same. You're going to cut down this score line past the first one and down to the second. So you've got these four squares in each corner. You then want to cut all the way down the next one again all the way down to that second score line. This is your first, there's your second. These two outer squares you're going to remove completely and then this top square you're going to remove. So you've got this one square attached and you're going to do that in all four corners but also you just want to take a little bit off just so that everything folds in really nicely and you get great corners on your tray like so. Now just do this one again. Okay like so and then just now flip it around so this is away from you and you're going to repeat the same on this side. Okay so you should now have something like this and then we're going to start to stick it all together. So first of all I'm just going to add my glue to the top of this tap here. You're going to repeat this on all of them. Just do one at a time. Bring it down and bring this side over. Just make sure you get a nice corner there and then go around to the next one like so. Just repeat that again at the opposite end and then you just want to add glue. I'm now using my stronger glue just so it strengthens the sides. This is the Kalao because lots of people ask you and you to the channel what's in this bottle and it's always Kalao glue. If you ever see me using clear it's always the Kalao all purpose and then just fold in all of the sides and that's the reinforcement. With this glue in between it's going to really strengthen it so just let them kind of catch on each other and then with your bone folder just go in and really spread all that glue out. Okay like so now you can get your four teacakes or whatever it is you're putting in there. You can put little glue dots on the bottom but it does all hold together and I'm actually sealing the ribbon so they do have to physically kind of rip this apart. So then this will fit now really nicely inside like so. You can see you just get a really nice finish. Then with the ribbon start from the top and twist it around and then come back around again and then I just want a little bit of hot glue. Actually I'll leave that there first of all. I'm just going to pop a small little bead of hot glue in the middle there and just sit this one over the top. This is all going to be covered with that big sentiment so I'm not too worried but I'm just going to hold that there just a little bit taut for the minute but just make sure you can get that kind of in the middle and that bit away and then I can bring this one around just keeping everything straight. Again I'm not going to cut it until I've stuck it. Again just put a little bit of glue. You may just want to tie yours off with a bow. I mean that's you know completely fine but I am sealing this up. Again just remove the excess there and then I've got one of these toppers. Okay and then I'm just going to with some hot glue just pop that one like so and then again I've got some hot glue. These are those felt holly leaves that I picked up the other day and I shared them in my what did I get? I got these from the Works so I'm just popping a couple of those in the corner and then I'm actually you do get the red berries in the you know the packet with the holly but they're a bit too big and I wanted a group of three so I've just got a little bit of this scrap pom-pom trim and I'm just using three of the pom-poms as my little berries. Again using the hot glue. So and then with the candy cane this one's a little bit maybe that's why I put it back into my Christmas stash because I never used that one because it was a bit bent but like I said these are in here as a reminder really for me to get real edible candy canes. There you have it two beautiful little gifts filled with four tonics tea cakes and like I said you could add a gift tag with maybe a nice Christmas tea in there or you could maybe do like a little hot chocolate mix and you could put some marshmallows in a little bag and stuff. There's so many extra things you can do to finish this off but I'm really happy with these. These are going along with the Ferrero Rocher's that I shared recently and they are in my Christmas cupboard ready for me well I'm just filling it up really ready for me to give as gifts nearer the time. So thank you for watching I will share links to the acetate and if I can find things like the toppers and these felt little pieces here then I will link all that below but yeah thank you for watching and I'll be back again very soon. Bye!
