I saw a picture of these adorable Tulip Mini-Tic Tac holders and I just HAD to make them. I ordered the Mini Tic Tacs on Amazon, with the plan to make them for Easter baskets, but it took TWO months for them to arrive! Now, this was at the beginning of the Covid pandemic, when everything got delayed. Right now Amazon says it will only take two days. I'm just warning you that it might take longer! I watched a video on YouTube by a German demonstrator, Ximena Morales. I did my best to convert the metric measurements to inches.
Measurements and steps:
- Start with a piece of cardstock cut at 1-5/8" x 3-1/2"
- With 3-1/2" side at the top, score at 5/8", 1-1/2", 2-1/8", and 3"
- Turn and score at 5/8" (for the bottom flap of the box)
- To assemble, watch my Facebook Live video HERE or the video link above by Ximena.
- Punch your tulips out of the In Color DSP. I used Bumblebee and Magenta Madness.
- Punch your leaves out of Just Jade cardstock.
- I used glue to attach the leaves to the Tulip and the box.
- I stamped "Hello" from the Timeless Tulips stamp set.
- I tied some bows with White Crinkle Seam Binding and some bows with retired white twine. I added them to the project with a glue dot.
That's it! Although I didn't get to use these for Easter, I still gave them out as party favors at a recent stamp class. I've also made two variations that I can use for Thanksgiving and Christmas. For the Thanksgiving version, I used Harvest Hellos Stamp set and Apple Builder Punch. The Snowman version comes from the Snowman Season Stamp set and Snowman Builder Punch. The greetings are from past Paper Pumpkin kits.
I adjusted the box size for the pumpkin to hold two mini Tic Tac boxes. I adjusted the box size for the snowman to be a little taller, but the top of his body still sticks above it quite a bit.
Here are the alternate measurements:
The pink pox is the original size shown above. The white box is 1-7/8 x 3-1/2. The Tic Tacs go all the way in without the top peeking out. The third box is for the pumpkin and measures 1-3/4" x 5-1/4". With 5-1/4" side at the top, score at 5/8", 2-3/8", 3", 4-3/4", and 5-1/4". Then turn and score at 5/8". The Tic Tacs will peek above the edge a little, but not much.
