After I made a bunch of snowman tea lights (directions can be found here), I was trying to decide how to give them. I didn't want the nose to poke through anything, so I made a box!
I added some iridescent shreds to the box to make it a little sparkly.
Too bad you can't leave the battery on when you give them. They might receive a snowman with a dead battery!
You want to know how to make the box?
- Cardstock for the bottom is 5-1/2" x 6-1/2". Score all 4 sides at 1-3/4".
- Cardstock for the lid is 4-1/8" x 3-1/8". Score all 4 sides at 1/2".
- Punch a hole in the lid and add a piece of Window Sheet behind. If using the Decorative Label punch as I did here, you will need about 2-3/4" x 1-3/4" size Window Sheet.
- Designer Series Paper is cut 1-1/2" x 1-3/4" for the 2 short sides and 1-1/2" x 2-3/4" for the 2 long sides.
Finished box size is 2" x 3" x 1-3/4" tall.
Just three days left for the Online Extravaganza!

What a great idea, Dawn! Your box is so bright and cheerful - I'm sure those snowmen are all cozy and comfy in there! I just bought that punch, and will now have an excuse to try it out!!! Thanks for sharing...
Yikes, I called you Dawn! Can't do two things at once - have an email started for my friend Dawn L., and guess she was on my mind - so sorry! Forgive me?
This is such a fun project. And I like them peeking through the box lid.

I just love it!! Thank you for the instructions. Boxes are so much fun and this one is particularly adorable with the cute little snowman inside.
Thanks for sharing this adorable craft. I'm going to prep everything and help my 6 year old granddaughter make these for her bus driver, lunch ladies, principal, secretary and nurse at school. Just the perfect little gift.
These are so cute, thank you for sharing the box idea to put the snowman it to protect his cute little nose.
What a fabulous box to protect these little fellows. Thanks for sharing
