Milk Cartons.Mooooo!!
Unaccustomed as I am..... I've done a little tutorial for these milk cartons because although there is one on SCS. it's a bit more complicated.
Take a piece of card 6"x83/4" .Score it at 2", 4", 6", 8".
Turn it the other way and score at 1" and 4". Fold all score lines and crease well with a bone folder then cut between creases at bottom edge (you can just about see in pic).This is the best time to decorate your box while it's still flat. Join down the side seem with DST. EDIT. my original post said 2" and 4" .Oops that was wrong apologies to anyone who tried to make one with those measurements.
Fold the bottom flaps up and adhere with DST or glue (not sellotape please!)
Use both hands at once to do this(,unless there's a camera in the other one) push the sides in whilst closing the top together. Try and keep it central and press the box downwards slightly to create the carton shape.
Always practice on cheap card first.
Sweet or what??? I got the little paperclips at Wilkinson's, can't remember how much but very cheap, chocs are Tesco £1 for a net.
