Potion Bottle Gift Box & Tutorial

Hi there! It's Laurie here, & I'm back to share with you a project complete with tutorial! I created a potion box holder for this past release (you can see the photo below) and I've received several requests for the template. Well, instead of a template I thought I would share with you a mini-tutorial! :-)



This was the gift set that I shared last Saturday for the release. I used the goodies included in the Punchy Potion Bundle.

I'm going to share directions on how to make the potion bottle box.



You'll need a piece of card stock measuring 5" x 11", two pieces of patterned paper measuring 3 1/4" x 3", two pieces of patterned paper measuring 1 1/2" x 3", a piece of c.s. cut out with a shaped die, a piece of patterned paper cut out using that same die (or a smaller version of the die), a decorative brad, & some 1/4" Sticky Tape. *Note: I used a Sizzix die for this box and just trimmed the patterned paper piece a bit smaller than the black one, but any of the Nestabilities Label dies would work wonderfully (with no need for trimming :-)!



With your card stock placed horizontally (as pictured above), score at 1 3/4", 5 1/4", 7", & 10 1/2". Turn card stock 90 degrees and score at 1 3/4". I made my score lines white only so they would show up in the photo. :-)



Using a bone folder (or something similar) crease each score line well. Then, holding your card stock horizontally (as pictured above) make vertical cuts along each score line on the bottom section (see photo above). The 1/2" little flap on the right side is not needed and I just cut mine off. Next, apply sticky tape to the 1/2" flap on the right side and one of the bottom flaps as pictured above.



After assembling your box, add the patterned paper pieces, die cuts to the top, and decorative brad. I used items from the Halloween Key Ingredients kit (Basic Grey Eerie patterned paper and Halloween brad)!

For added "spookiness", I ink distressed all of my patterned paper pieces using some dark gray ink.
