milk carton

Good evening all

A few people have asked how i made the milk carton in my christmas come early post so here goes...

Take an A4 piece of card and score the long side at 7,14,21 and 28cm then score the short side at 2cm, 7cm and 17cm as shown below


Then cut the bottom corner that you dont need off as shown in the picture below and fold all your score lines.

cut the bottom upto the crossing scoreline and apply glue to the flaps as shown with the black lines...hopefully you can see them!

And the side lines too
 Step the bottom flaps and stick together pressing firmly to secure as you go along


You should end up with something that looks like this...I have stamped a design on mine to jazz it up a bit. 

Push both sides gently together and pinch the top together as shown before punching holes in the top 2cm and securing with ribbon or twine


You can decorate the outside how you like and add tags etc

I have made these before with different measurements to make a smaller version to hold say a cupcake or something but browsing on blogs i f ound the instructions above on the lovely Sarah Jane's blog who adjusted the measurements so the finished item is tall enough to put some mini toiletries in for a gift or even some perfume so big thankyou to SJ :0)
