Cammie’s Triangle Treat Box

by Carolyn King

Create this fun treat box.

Supplies

  • One 3" by 11” piece of cardstock

  • Scrap piece of cardstock

  • Scor-Pal™ or similar scoring tool

  • Scor-Tape™ or other double sided sticky tape

  • Scissors

  • Pencil

Step-by-Step

  1. Step 1

    Start with a 3" by 11” piece of cardstock.

    Score at 3”, 6”, 9”

  2. Step 2

    Fold cardstock so that it forms a triangle shape. Do not adhere.

    Trace around the perimeter of the shape with a pencil on the same colored piece of cardstock.

  3. Step 3

    Cut out triangle shape leaving about ¼ inch border around the pencil lines.

    The pencil lines do not have to look good!

  4. Step 4

    Line the top and bottom of each line up on your Scor-Pal™ and score the line.

    The scored line will not always follow the pencil line exactly, a close approximate is fine.

  5. Step 5

    Cut out the triangle areas where the score lines crossed (as shown in the picture).

    Do this for every corner.

  6. Step 6

    Fold up the sides of the triangle bottom.

    Apply Scor-Tape™ along each outer edge of the triangle.

  7. Step 7

    One by one, take off the strip of sticky tape backing and adhere the bottom to the each side.

    Follow the numbers to adhere them in the easiest order.

  8. Step 8

    On the final edge adhere the small flap to the bottom of the triangle bottom and then adhere the final large side over the smaller side.

    This will make sense as you do it.

  9. Step 9

    Decorate as you wish. I find it easiest to create layers and then adhere them to the triangle box with foam mounting tape.
