I made these as Christmas treats for Lauren and my 2 nieces. In this post, I'll be sharing ways how you can make your own popcorn box treats holder fast and easy. These are good to make for kids or everyone in your own family.
PAPER MATERIAL TO USE
For my boxes, I use these red and green paper that is labeled as "border paper", it is a thick paper that is somewhat glossy in appearance and texture (as seen in the image below).
This paper is plain white at the back. Aside from this type of paper, it's also good to use any white heavy weight paper (such as cardstock, vellum board, specialty board, construction board or any paper of similar texture) or pattern paper in Christmas colors.
CREATING THE BOXES (HANDMADE OR STORE BOUGHT) + LINKS TO FREE PRINTABLES
HANDMADE POPCORN BOXES: The popcorn box template I used comes with designs in it, but the PDF file also comes with a separate blank "cut-fold" guide pattern (as seen in the image below) Click Here To Check Out This FREE Printable Popcorn Box Template I used.
This template makes a larger pop corn box as compare to other templates with the whole box pattern in one page, we need to print 2 copies of the template and glue or tape them together to create 1 large pop corn box. You can also choose the top pattern of your boxes (straight cut or wavy) or get creative with it anyway you like. I made some "v" cut in between the wave patterns of my boxes.
Instead of glue, I used scotch tape in connecting the templates together, this way the outcome is more secure. You can be sure that it won't have a chance of detaching from each other because they are totally sealed by the scotch tape.
