Back to School Sanitizer Packaging

Hi Stampers!

Are you headed back to school soon or have you already started? 

I am headed back to school today for a week long professional development. Guess what we will need a lot of besides masks, that's right! Hand sanitizer and lots of it!  Why not make some cute packaging for it!?!

I saw another demonstrator make a box very similar to this.  Hers was to lay horizontally with a large lid.  I switched it up to stand tall and open at the top. 

You can make two of these with one sheet of card stock and a little Designer Series Paper.  #iwillusemyprettypaper I had a little left over from last years Gather Together Suite. I love the leaves in this bundle. I used the dies to cut and emboss some leaves from Rich Razzleberry and Cajun Craze card stock. Then, to the Cajun Craze leaf I added gold Wink of Stella which has retired.  The clear with just a touch of shimmer would be pretty as well but I am trying to use up as much product as I can.

The verse is stamped on Very Vanilla card stock with Rich Razzleberry ink and added leaves with Cajun Craze ink.  I just used my paper snips to cut the tag out. I closed the box with some linen thread.

   To make the box, cut card stock at 4 1/4" x 11".  On the short side score 1" and 3 1/4". On the long side score 1", 5", 6", 10".  Snip at the score lines with small miters. I cute the corners on the top to make the box close easier.  

   On the top flap I used the snowman builder punch to cut a notch to make it easier to open. You could use a small circle punch or a small circle die if you like.

   Here is where I place adhesive tape.  Any strong tape or glue will work. I turned the small flaps in, folded up the sides without any adhesive, then turned up the flaps with adhesive. I make that the back of my box. 

I covered the sides with DSP. Cut two at 3 3/4" x 2" (these are the front and back). Cut two 3 3/4" x 3/4" (these are the two sides).

I have a feeling I will be buying hand sanitizer in bulk this year and making lots of these little boxes.

Hope you enjoyed this project.  Until next time,
