Pencil Shaped Cookie Box

A) Assemble cookie box and pull aside 2 pieces of yellow cardstock. On one of the cardstock pieces, measure and cut a 1½" strip.
B) Adhere strip to the flap located at the top of the box. For perfect placement, line up the edge of the cardstock with the window on the box. Use small dabs of hot glue or a tape runner to adhere.
C) Adhere the other piece of the cut cardstock to the front of the box. Start at the edge of the front, fold, and run the cardstock to the bottom of the box. The seam will be at the bottom of the box.
D) Adhere the second piece of 6" x 6" cardstock to the top edge of the back of the box, keeping this seam on the bottom as well.

A) Measure and cut 3¼" x 3¾" rectangle piece of brown cardstock.
B) Hold the rectangle at portrait orientation. Estimate and mark the center of the rectangle, approximately 1 3/5". Measure and mark 1" up on the cardstock. Draw lines connecting triangle points.
C) Cut out triangle tip shape. Fold tab at the 1" drawn line.
D) Use this cutout shape as a pattern. Trace and cut out this shape three more times.

A) Cut 1" x 1½" strip from brown cardstock scraps.
B) Trace box lid lip onto this strip of cardstock. Cut off unneeded cardstock corner to mimic the lid shape.
C) Trace brown triangle piece onto black cardstock. Allow 1¼" in height. Trace and cut 3 of these small triangles. This is the tip of the pencil.
Trace brown triangle piece onto black cardstock, but this time add ¼" to each side, creating a rectangle around a triangle. This extra will work as tabs. Fold them along the triangle’s lines.

A) Flip triangle over, marked side facing up. Tape 3 triangle pieces together, points facing inward. B) Flip back over and adhere 3 of the black triangle tip pieces, one to each triangle side. Adhere with dots of hot glue or tape runner. C) Adhere 1" x 1½" lid cardstock piece to the box’s lid flap.

A) Let’s use pink cardstock to make the eraser on the pencil! Measure and cut one 5 ¼" x 3¼" rectangle, one 4¾ " x 3½" rectangle, and one 4" x 1" rectangle.
B) Using 5 ¼" x 3¼" rectangle, measure 1" on each side. Fold to make tabs.
C) Place rectangle horizontally. Measure and mark 1¾" from the bottom. Measure and mark ¼" from each side. Draw a line connecting the marks. Cut a slit on this line using a project knife.
D) Using 4¾ " x 3½" rectangle, trace the side of the box lid. Leave a small 1" tab on the left side. Cut out this shape.

A) Let’s attach all of the pink cardstock pieces. Adhere the 1" x 4" strip to the bottom of the box. Fold over extra cardstock on each side for more support.

A) Measure and cut two ½" strips from a sheet of silver foil paper. Cut these strips from the longer edge of the sheet of foil.
B) Adhere first foil strip to the lid flap, overlapping on top of the pink cardstock. For perfect placement, line up the edge of the foil strip with the cookie box window. Run this strip to the bottom of the box and adhere the strip in place. This will keep the seam at the bottom of the box. Cut off any extra material.
C) Adhere the second foil strip to the top of the front of the box. Fold and run this strip to the bottom of the box as well. Adhere the strip in place so the seam is at the bottom of the box, cutting off any extra foil not needed to cover.
