I have been searching around for some ideas for teachers gifts that the girls can have fun decorating and making. I came across this while searching through CCAS Resources. My girls want to make some of these for the teachers helpers and fill them with handmade toffees. Yummy!!

Make a Festive Fry Box - By Renee

Fry Template by Tammy Matta

Supplies Needed:

Glue Stick or other adhesive

Patterned Paper, Cardstock or other (I used double sided sturdy Patterned Paper)

Scissors or X-acto knife

Bone folder

Size this template to your size liking in an editing program or print program.

Print the template on regular printer paper.

I printed at full size on an 8.5×11 sheet of paper. I will link my enlarged template here-
Step 1- Take template printed on a standard sheet of 8.5×11 paper. Place on top of a double sided sheet of cardstock/patterned paper. The side of the cardstock that is facing up will be the outside of the box

Step 2- Using an X-acto Knife, cut through the template and cardstock at the same time.

Step 3- Holding the cutout template and cardstock together, make the first fold on template line. Make folds so template stays to the outside of the box.

Step 4- Once the four side folds are done; gradually pinch the arc folds at the base of the box using both thumbs and index finger.

Step 5- Once folds are made, remove template

Step 6- Tape/adhere flaps to hold the box together.

Adhere the sides together; you may want to temporarily use paper clips or other methods to hold it tight until the adhesive dries completely.
Embellish and fill the box as you wish!
