Over at SCS and in Stampingdom, everyone seems mesmerized by the little nugget wrappers. Yesterday was the last meeting for my stampers group until next year so I wanted to have a small gift on the table for each stamper. So this is what I made….no, not nuggets but yes chocolate…more later.
These are actually tins of Chocolate, here is the Before and After picture:
The boxes turned out so pretty and were super simple to make.
The pretty sticker image is from Wal-Mart, costs $1.44 and had 4 very dimensional and glittery holiday images. The Candy was also a WalMart find..at the checkout candy stand. So here is the how to:
The Scor Pal…made this an efficient and easy task to accomplish.
Cut cardstock to wrap the tin:
3 3/4″ x 9″ (inches)
Score at 2″, 3″, 5 1/2″ and 6 1/2″
Use your favorite adhesive tape, either the red sticky or the one that Diana sells at Scor Pal….you want this to stick.
The designer paper for the top was cut to 3 5/8″ x 2 3/8″ and glued to the top.
The embellishment is the tags-sticker from Wal Mart and ribbons.
I then took the process one step further and decided that I will make one of each of our grandchildren and add in a gift card.
The gift card was a simple addition. Using the card I measured and scored the card stock so it would wrap around the card 2 times and added one inch. I scored at both the top and bottom fold line. The corner rounder made for a better fit of a small piece of coordinating designer paper, add a small strip of ribbon and another tag from the Wal Mart collection.Viola!

PS…it is beautiful blue skies, temps here in hi 60’s really my find of weather!
Those chocolate boxes are gorgeous! If I lived anywhere near a Wal-Mart, I would run right down, buy some candy tins, and some of those beautiful stickers, and make me some awesome chocolate boxes this weekend. But alas, I live over an hour away from Wal-Mart, so I will stay home and work on all those *other* projects that are screaming to be finished!!
These came out sooo great – and it surprised me at how quick they came together!! THanks for sharing!
These look wonderful!! Thanks so much for the directions. I can’t wait to try it. I love that gorgeous velvet ribbon too:)
