 Hi everybody it's Sam at Mixed Up Craft. Thank you for watching my tutorial today. I'm going to be showing you how to make these little kind of match boxes. I have done something similar for a chocolate bar size and I'll link that one up here because that's really nice and it has a it was for Father's Day actually but this one here is a smaller version and you pull this out and then the spider pops up. It's on a piece of acetate there it's really really fun and then inside here you've got room to pop some treats which I will do and these are just a few more extras just to go in the trick-or-treat kind of bowl ready for when the trick-or-treaters come to the door. So I've done four here I'm going to do the fifth one again you can see another one there I've just done the spider on all of them and again it's got that nice spring and it's just a little bit of fun and yeah something easy to make and you can do this obviously for any occasion as you can see on that one there if you pop and have a look that's for Father's Day you can do this for Christmas you can have all sorts for them that's just the idea there for you to then be able to change. So I'm using the few bits left really from the sassy crafting I have done my planner in my diary so I may add that in next week just as a kind of short little video but I've done the mini album as well using this paper I've got some of the free little trimcraft downloads there as well but it's this here so this is the sticker pad which I've used in my planner I've used the spider I really do like that I hate spiders by the way but I really do like this spider dye I just think it's got a really good look about it look oh it looks quite real and I look at my monitor and actually what I'm going to quickly do is just add in a photograph now and that was the excess in my bin and I forgot it was there and I walked into my craft room and looked down and I did jump a little bit because I thought oh my god and then I quickly remembered that that was me that done that and actually it's just paper but it looked so real and I showed my mommy she was like oh my god I went no it's only paper so yeah I think it's a great one for Halloween so that's everything we need there all of this will be linked below because to make one of the boxes you need for the actual tray the piece that we pull out you want a piece that's five and a quarter by six and then for the case that wraps around you want a piece that's six and a half by three and one eighth of an inch then I've got my topper there so that one's already done and then I've got this acetate here um so just a strong piece of acetate will do it's just a piece of scrap so first of all with this one here okay so with this piece you're going to score on all four sides at three quarters of an inch and one and a half inches so rotate three quarters of an inch and one and a half again okay so that's what you're going to do there because it's a reinforced tray so that's what you should have now for this piece here because it needs to wrap around what you want to do is pop it in here along the long side and pull it out slightly okay so if I just bring this up so I always do this if you've got a piece of cardstock you can fold some cardstock in half put it up against there and then put the cardstock in that's another way to do it but there it is right up in the corner and then I'm just pulling it out a little bit there so I can see the gray scoreboard don't pull it right up to the one eighth of an inch notch you want it just I've got that little bit there it's like halfway okay so just put it out slightly and then score at two and three eighths of an inch and five and a half okay and then push it back in again and score at three and one eighths of an inch and six and a quarter okay and just by doing that we've just given it that tiny one sixteenth of an inch extra so that it can wrap around this tray here that's that bit done I've also got a piece of ribbon here for the little pull tab and this is two and a half inches so I'll probably end up trimming a little bit more of that way as well so the case is very very straightforward so you just want to fold and burnish those score lines okay and then with this one here again just fold and burnish all of those score lines okay and we're going to put this together just as you would any other reinforced so you know like we would do reinforced lid it'd be exactly the same so you want to cut I'm just cutting along the short side here and you're going to cut up both of these score lines okay to the second score line so you've got four squares you can see there there's the four squares I'm just cutting past them all to this second score line here the outer two you just want to remove completely and then that top square just remove that so you're left with that one there and then just tidy up all of the edges so that one that one and that one there okay I'm going to do the same again just show you again so cut down that one and that one remove the outer two and that top one and again just tidy up the edges okay just lie it down there that's what you should have at one end and then you're just going to flip it right the way around now so you've got the other short side and just do the same okay so that's everything cut now on this little tab here I've just popped some glue you're going to fold it under and bring up that side and we're going to do this on all four corners I'm just going to give that a second to grab and then you're going to go to the next one and again just pop a little layer of glue pop it under and around again to form a really nice right angle just repeat that on the other end here okay and then I've just started to put glue on all four but you actually only want to put glue on three leave one of the shorter sides without so I'm just going to let that dry it won't be a problem but you want to fold the rest of them in that end one there we need to punch a hole through first before we stick it down and then we can thread the ribbon through so I'm just going to go around there stick those down and then you'll just get a really nice little tray but leave one of them up like that so I'm just going to let that glue completely dry you can rub the collow off as well so it's um yeah like I said it's a great glue I really love this stuff okay while I've got that drying I'm just going to stick this one down so along that little tab there just add some glue or some double-sided tapes entirely up to you and then if you just fold that side over and then fold that half over it will all line up perfectly and again just let that stick okay and then just burnish all of the sides just to make sure it all sits how it should and then I know I've still got that end up there but you should be able to slide it in the other end and it should slide on really nicely it'll be nice snug fit there on the end okay so now with this one because that's nice and dry I'm going to just grab my hole punch and you want to fold that in and you want a hole punch in the middle of this side piece so you can see where I've put my little hole punch there and then just punch through there's a little bit tacky there we go okay so now I've got that hole going right the way through next what I'm going to do is okay I don't know what I was thinking but I've just hole punched through both of them and you don't want to do that really because it makes there's no otherwise it's pointless doing it you want to open it up and you just want a hole punch through that side so that this solid piece can then cover your ribbon ends so you can see there I've punched through both but with your screw punch there you can go in and you can just hole punch right in the center there really easily so you only want a hole punch on that one there it's not going to make any difference to this tray that I've gone through both but it's it does defeat the object because the whole point is now is that this will thread through so just fold it in half so you've made a little pull tab but the idea is then that we can split this apart inside like so and then this piece without the hole would then go over and hide it all but now you see mine's going to poke out so I'm going to have to just cut another bit of card stock to go on that I don't know why on earth I've done that because I've been using this for all of them but then I have been using that for another project so I think I've just completely lost my mind so I'm just going to get my hot glue on because it did work really well with this okay so I'm just going to pop a little bit there and a little bit on the back just push that down that side push that down in case you can see my ribbon split apart there and then like I said you won't have a hole in that piece so now you'll just add your glue to this side here and then stick that in now you can see we've got a nice little pull tab and then inside yours will be obviously your card stock and it won't have that hole but you can see how it's just a nice way to conceal that ribbon that's if you choose to do that you might just pop a brad on the end it's entirely up to you and then you just pop it in its tray then you just need to add your spider or whatever it is that you're going to have pop up so what you want to do is this acetate here is half an inch by well the length let me just pop it in because I end up cutting it down but basically you want to score at half an inch it will be no more than four inches long okay so actually I'm just going to trim that now because yeah so I've got a four at the moment and then on that half inch score line you just want to fold it under okay and then we're just going to add some red tape to that little tab okay so just taking the backing off and then you're going to pop it in here with the so it's folded can you see if I pop that against there we go so I've got it like that and it's sticky underneath here so you're going to pop this flat side here against where the the ribbon kind of is but you want it to be right in the middle so you can see there where I've stuck that in okay that's what you want just make sure that's all stuck down and then yeah it's still too long so the spider or whatever it is you want to pop it on the acetate but you want to push it down before you stick it down and make sure it's going to fit within your little tray so you can see there where that's going to go now I've already popped some tape on the back of my spider okay so again I can kind of just hover it over I can see where he needs to be so about there okay and then I'm just going to go in now and cut underneath and get rid of that acetate so it now probably ends up being let me but this is if you're using the same thing as me so like I said everybody's is going to be different but it will be two and three quarters my pieces that's taken into account that that piece there as well but now that will go in and you know you can test it obviously pop it in there because it reminds me of those bugs do you remember the wobbly bugs I think you can still get them that were in the shells and you'd lift the shell up and then the bug would be wobbling inside but now it's got a really good little spring to it then I've got this piece here which is just slightly smaller than the tray size so it's just under three and just under two and a quarter so just check that was right yes it literally is like that one sixteenth because I wanted it to cover the bottom complete so and it's just under two and a quarter so I'm just going to add the loot to the back of that piece and then that's just going to go in there again ready for the treats pop that all on there popping back in there and then I've got this piece here I'll give you the dimensions in a second make sure that's all stuck down so the white piece here is two and one eighth by just under three two and seven eighths would be fine and then the black piece is one and seven eighths of an inch by two and five eighths of an inch okay and then just pop that in there and there you have your little treat boxes so there they are I really like them I think this is my favorite I do I just really like the red lips there and the fangs and the bit of blood coming down and then you open it up oh you've got a bit of a fright with the spider there and then the same papers inside so I'm going to like I said pop some nice little treats in there and yeah add them to the the basket of the other goodies that I've shared with you so if you're new to the channel and you haven't seen any of the other little kind of I guess trick-or-treat or Halloween favors or favors for any occasion all you've got to do is change your paper but that playlist will be up there so you can check that out but yeah I hope it's inspired you I hope you give it a go and I'll be back again soon with another tutorial thanks for watching bye
