J's Knicknacks Make 'n Take

Easter is about a week away. If you're still thinking about what to make...maybe this make 'n take project we did at J's Knicknacks this morning will inspire you. They're little egg cartons:


Here's what the inside looks like:


Click here to download a pattern. There are 2 pattern pieces...1 box pattern and 1 insert pattern. Simply cut along the solid lines and fold along the dotted lines.



The box piece has six 1/4" tabs...place double stick tape along each of these tabs, and also in 2 strips on the bottom of the box between the marked spots (as shown above).

For the insert piece...place double stick tape along the 2 side tabs. There are 6 dots on the insert pattern...I centered each dot in a Marvy (green) 3/4" circle punch, and punched out 6 circles.



For the next step...remove the backing paper from the 2 strips of double stick tape on the bottom of the box (this tape will hold your easter eggs in place...you can see the tape through the punched holes if you look closely). Remove the backing paper from the 2 tabs on the insert piece and stick to the sides of the box as shown above. Now you can proceed with putting the rest of the box together by following the fold lines. Put a chocolate egg into each punched circle and press down on the double stick tape. Here are more examples:

** Just a note...I stamped each of the images on white cardstock and colored in the background**

Enjoy your weekend!!!!
