I've been on a box-making kick and it's been a lot of fun building up my "box" arsenal (translated: binder with a section dedicated to projects).
I first discovered how to make this really cute Ghirardelli box... (here's the tutorial)

I thought it would be great to make these for some of my fellow teachers and other school staff members. Oh, and these would make GREAT party favors:

A side view:
With the yummies inside (it holds three Ghirardelli squares):
I also found how to make a mini pizza box:

And this is a GREAT little box that can hold many things. :)
I learned that a friend (Kathleen) likes milk chocolate, so I plan on filling it with Hershey kisses. :)
I used a small circle punch to make a little notch to open it more easily:
Here's a shot of the box partly open...
And all the way open...
Here's another version... I'm happy with the color combination...
Thanks for looking! :)
(Too many different supplies to list!) ;)

Wonderful job, Ted! I love boxes and can't seem to get enough. Thanks for the link. I love the colors and PP you used. Very well done. Everyone will be impressed with the box and the chocolates (well, cause who doesn't love chocolate?)
The Gherardelli box is just as cute as can be. Love them all, actually.
Ted your boxes are too cute, Im sure your co-workers will love them! I've made the mini pizza box before and never thought to make a little notch on the side - definitely a duh, why didn't I think of that myself? I'll have to remember that for the next time I make one.
Your boxes turned out great!!! I forgot about the Gherardelli box ........ I have to get on that one for the kids in the family as a little something extra!!!!
These boxes are great, Ted! Beautiful work! I love the green/purple color combo...my favorites...
=D
Oh no, my first comment got lost! Really nice work, Ted! Love the green/purple color combo...it's probably my favorite combination!
Ted, these are just GREAT!!! I saw the pizza box tutorial on SCS but haven't tried it yet. And I just happen to have a bag of Ghiardelli squares sitting here that I wanted to figure out how to package up, now I know! Thanks!
These are great Ted, I was actually looking today for how to make boxes!

These are wonderful Ted! I love the creamy/brown one - monochromatic colours are always so yummy! I think the gold wrapping on the squares looks so elegant in there! Your Santa at the top of the blog is absolutely great! I had such a good smile! :)
Darling little boxes Ted! These would make a fantastic little treat. Thanks for the links and the challenge too. I'll get something together so I can play along. Sounds like fun!
