These little boxes might just be my favorite kind of project—cute, useful, and perfect for gifting! 💛 What do they hold? They're perfect for an M&Ms Mini tube.

After getting the idea from Julie DiMatteo, I made these miniature milk carton boxes using the beautiful Easter Joy Specialty Designer Series Paper. I just love how bright and cheerful they turned out. The patterns in this paper do so much of the work for you!

For the sentiment, I combined the “hello” from the Sunshine & Tulips stamp set with “Easter” from the Blessed Beginnings stamp set. I love mixing and matching greetings like this to get just the phrasing I want. This box would be cute with other sentiments, too. How about "hello, spring," or "happy Easter!"? I'm using these for my kids' Easter baskets, and I just loved the unique "hello Easter," as something a little different.

Of course, I had to finish the boxes off with a pretty Shy Shamrock ribbon and a few Shy Shamrock embellishments—those little details really make these feel special. Don't forget that Shy Shamrock - and four other colors: Peach Pie, Petunia Pop, Pretty in Pink, and Summer Splash - will be on the upcoming Last Chance list, so grab them while you can!

If you’d like to make these, here are the measurements:

Designer Series Paper: 6-1/2″ x 7″

Score along the 6-1/2″ side at 1-1/2″, 3″, 4-1/2″, and 6″

Rotate clockwise and score along the 7″ side at 1-1/2″ and 5-1/2″, then flip and score at 6-1/2″

Flip again, rotate counter-clockwise, and score at 2-1/4″ and 5-1/4″ (only down to the first horizontal score line)

Julie's template was helpful in preparing my box for assembly:

They may look a little complicated, but once you make one, they come together quickly. These are such a fun way to use your Designer Series Paper—and they’re always a hit! 😊 You can see the supply list for the box at the bottom of this blog post, complete with links to the products in my online store! Watch me make one of the boxes here:

There's still time before Easter to get some of these made! They're so cute, and they don't have to be wrecked to get the candy out of them. I love that! Perhaps I can even re-use them next year! 🤔

Happy creating!
