Hexagonal Festive Kaleidoscope Treat Box from Triangles :D


A divided hexagonal treat box for the festive season :D I was thinking this would be great when you get a family box of celebrations, you could divide them up between you so there's no squabbling over how many malteasers chocolates you've eaten etc... :D :D :D

This was quite a project to complete, and overall it took over 3 hours with all the die-cutting etc.. :D It's a pretty simple design though, and you can make it simpler, or go to town with the decorating like I did here :D You need all the components to create 6 triangular boxes (but you only need 1 lid for each, so 6 in total), then you need 2 hexagonal lids/bases :D To create the flip up lids, you need to cut off all the glue tabs for the lids, and you'll also need to trim the last scallop off of two adjacent sides too, this will allow the sides to easily fold down inside the box :D I think that makes sense, but that's why there's a video, as I'm useless at explaining everything lol :D And then you'll stick the last remaining scalloped side to the triagonal box to give the lid a hinge :D You'll also need a hexagonal base, that all of these 6 triagonal boxes will fit into, and this gives each of these boxes a base :D Then for the lid, you'll need to really expand the 'corners' so that it will fit over the top, and then you can hide this with little portions of the holly sprig die set :D And obviously, you'll need to create a window in the lid before assembling it too :D And for this you can use the layering hexagons from the lid die set, or the ones that come in the layered hexagon die set, or a combination of the two like I did :D Hope you enjoyed seeing this box come together :D :D :D
