Handmade packaging can make even a store-bought gift seem extra special. Dress up some grill or smoker seasonings with a seasoning caddy to make the perfect gift for Dad (or whoever the grill master is in your life)!
MADE BY: SAMANTHA TAYLOR | TIME: 30 MINS
LEVEL: INTERMEDIATE | SIZE: 4 1/2” x 4 1/2” x 6”
Supplies:
Directions:
- Take the piece of patterned paper or card stock that you want to serve as the box base. Score it at 3 ¾” and 8 ¼”. Turn the patterned paper 90 degrees and repeat.
- Fold along your score marks to make them deeper. Then, cut every other fold/score line from the outer edge to the inner fold/score line (for a total of 4 cuts). You should now have 4 flaps that you will use later to assemble your box. Set this piece of paper aside.
- Take your second piece of patterned paper or card stock (this piece will serve as your handle), and cut a strip of paper that is 4 ½” x 8 ¼”. Score at 2 ½” along the short edge. Repeat. You should now have two pieces of patterned paper that are the same.
- Use an oval die or punch to cut out a handle space on the top of the paper.
- Use Glue Dots® Premium Permanent Glue Tape to attach the 2 pieces of paper together on the top (large) section only, leaving the 2 ¼” strip of patterned paper below the score line unattached (without any adhesive on it).
- Use Glue Dots® Ultra-Thin Dots to attach the base of the handle to the very center of your paper that you scored and set aside.
- Use Glue Dots® Ultra-Thin Dots to assemble your box by folding the flaps you cut in step 3 inside the uncut flaps.
- Finally, drop the seasoning bottles (or little bottles of hot sauce) inside and give it to the grill master!
If you have a little extra time, customize the caddy by adding the grill master’s name to the outside! Either way, we're sure they'll love it.
