favor boxes??

[sk8bug72]

I am making 60 bracelets for my aunt's friend's bridal shower. I am almost done with them, but now I need to find a way to package them. I want something that is cheap (less than 35cents each) and creative. I looked at little organdy bags, but I don't like them because I want something that will stand up on each person's plate. I thought that I saw a fun box/package on marthastewart.com, but now I can't find it. I am willing to make or buy boxes/packages. Does anyone have any ideas on how to package these bracelets???? Thanks!!!!!!

one of my friends gave us bracelets, see took some or the mesh like material that she bought at wal-mart, she put the bracelets in the middle of squares she had cut and pulled up in the middle and tied with ribbon. very pretty sitting on the table.

I have a template for a sqaure box. you just print it off on an 8x11 piece of paper, score the black line and cut it out, It folds up nicely. Perfect for a bracelet. I usually stamp on them to give them some decoration. If you are interested I can email it to you.

Our lss has a die cut machine that has dies for different types of little boxes. you just purchase the paper. Maybe there is a store by you that has something like this. For the smaller style boxes you could probably get 3 on a 12x12.

here is a example of the gift boxes that I mentioned above

As you can see by the ruler they are not very big, 3x3 maybe

It's very easy!

If you untie the ribbon, you unfold one side. The other 3 are held together with adhesive. Sticky strip or glue dots work best. You just print the template off on an 8x11 piece of paper. Score the black lines with a stylus or any other pointed tool. (one that will not cut the paper). Once it is scored you just cut it out. fold up the sides . If you want to stamp on them it is easiest to do it before you cut it out. Roller stamps work great on these boxes. I will send you the template
