Smores Gift Box (Lindsey@popdotmarketing.com)

Supplies:

  • Permanent Glue Dots®
  •  5”x5”x3” Box
  •  Patterned Paper (I used Great Outdoors from Paper House Productions)
  • Embellishments
  • Graham Crackers
  • Large Marshmallows
  • Mini or Fun Size Chocolate Bars

Directions:

  1. Cut patterned paper to the with of your candy bar, and long enough to wrap around once (my trips of paper are 2 ½” x 3 ¼”). Wrap paper around a candy bar and secure with Permanent Glue Dots®.)

  3. Create a wrap for the box by cutting two 10” x 1 ¼” strips of patterned paper. Attach the two pieces together by overlapping about 1” of the ends and securing with Permanent Glue Dots®. Wrap the long strip around the box and secure on top with Permanent Glue Dots®.

  4. Embellish the box wrap at the spot where the seams overlap with stickers or ephemera. Attach ephemera with Permanent Glue Dots®.

Often, the adhesive on embellishments isn’t as strong as I’d like. I usually add Glue Dots® to embellishments even if they have their own adhesive.

If you want to make these boxes a few days ahead of time, place the marshmallows in a cellophane bag to keep them from going stale.

Customize boxes by using different candy bars, flavored marshmallows, or flavored graham crackers.
