Are you looking for the perfect way to package a small treat with a big impact? This 3D treat holder is a charming way to share something sweet with someone special, and it’s easier to create than you might think!
In this project, I’ll be showing you how to make an adorable treat holder that holds two Merci chocolates, featuring a clever interlocking slider mechanism to open and close the box. Not only is this project perfect for small gifts, but it’s also a wonderful way to show off your paper crafting skills with a delightful twist!
Why You’ll Love This Project
If you’re a paper crafter who loves creating unique and thoughtful gifts, this 3D treat holder is a must-try.
Here’s why:
1. Impress with the Details: The interlocking slider mechanism adds a playful, interactive element to your gift, making it much more than just a simple box. Your recipients will be amazed at how the box opens and closes!
2. Perfect for Gifting: Whether you’re making a little something for a friend, family member, or co-worker, this treat holder is an ideal way to package a small but heartfelt gift. It’s just the right size for two Merci chocolates, but you could easily adjust it to fit other small treats too.
3. Showcase Your Creativity: With the Sophisticated Sled stamp and die bundle from Stampin’ Up!, you’ll be able to create a beautiful focal point for your treat holder. I’ll also be giving you a sneak peek of some gorgeous new pattern papers and ribbon from the upcoming mini catalog, perfect for adding that extra special touch to your project.
4. Use Both Sides of Your DSP: I’ll show you how to mix and match patterns from your Designer Series Paper (DSP) pack, bringing the beauty of the paper to both the inside and outside of your treat holder. This project is a great way to use up those scraps and showcase your favorite designs!
5. Get Creative with Ribbon: In this tutorial, I’ll be demonstrating how to cut your ribbon in half lengthwise to create a unique, delicate focal point on your box. It’s a simple trick that adds a lot of visual interest!
