Instructions
- Depending on your Cricut Access subscription, there may or may not be an additional charge for the files. There are two boxes, as well as two poinsettias and two tags.You can recolor the boxes to match your final project colors. You'll also need a scoring tool for your machine. If you have a Cricut Maker, you can use either the Scoring Wheel or the Scoring Stylus. If you have a Cricut Explore, you can use the Scoring Stylus. If you'd like, you can also add a tag. You can use the Cricut text tool to write whatever sentiment you'd like. For this project Cricut's Wildflower font was used to write a little note for the neighbors in two colors—Candy Crystal and Color, both part of the Cricut Ultimate Pen Set.
- Then cut! And score!
- And write!
- Once you have all of your pieces, you can assemble everything. Use a simple craft glue to assemble the boxes and lids. A little spray adhesive inside the lid made it easy to attach a square of cellophane to make the treat box window.For the poinsettia, glue the two pieces together and add three small craft pearls with a little craft glue.
- To package it all up, add the treats to the box and fit the lid on. Tie the box up with some white felt ribbon, glue on the flower and tag, and it's ready to go!
