ONCE UPON A TIME

DIFFICULTY: challenging

TIME: 2-3 hours

To make these fantastical gifts or decorations, all you need are giant. Cut out the pictures and, using your hot glue gun, glue the various elements in the order of your choice onto your box. We cut a circle in the centre of the sliding lid to reveal the treats hidden inside as well. Glue a piece of acetate to the inside of the cut-out window and fill the box with sweets. You can now give these boxes as gifts or add a cord loop at the top and hang them from your tree or as part of your festive decorations.
