Pencil "Treat" Box Template

Here you go! Click on the image for a larger view. My pencil treat box template is slightly different than others I've seen. I wanted to maximize my cardstock, so I chose to only make my box 5.25 inches tall (which requires a 5.5 inch piece of cardstock). Not only does this allow me to get more boxes out of one sheet of cardstock, but it also allows more of the cute pencil designs to show! You can make four boxes out of a single sheet of 8.5x11 cardstock using these dimensions.

The designer paper layer I adhere to the front is cut 5.125 x 1.125 to allow a nice frame around the edges.

I added an optional step to the template. Before you fold the box together, you can use a 1" circle punch to cut a half-circle out of the front of the box top. This is a cute way to accent the pencils inside. Also, if you plan to stamp on your cardstock, best to do that before you do your scoring and folding.

For future reference here are links to my projects using this template:
