Merry Christmas Monday Week #5
12/03/2018
Welcome to Merry Christmas Monday!!! This week I have a great project using the Ferrero Rocher candies. If you like to give this candy as a gift, which I do, you are going like this project!
I was on Pinterest looking for ideas for the Ferrero Rocher treat holders when I came across this design by Candy Ford. It caught my eye right away. Erica had just told me that she needed a gift for her secret Santa at work. Perfect timing! When I finished making one for Erica, I decided I need to make some more for me! They turned out so pretty!
To make this project you will need the following paper. For a complete list of all the products I used, please see the end of this post.

Gold Foil Sheet

- cut at 1 1/2" x 7 1/2" for the letter H
- scraps for 3 circles using the 1 3/4" circle punch
- scraps for 2 sprigs
Before assembling the boxes you need to do a little bit of work on the insert. First, I used a 1 3/8" circle framelit (or retired punch) and cut out 3 circles from scrap pieces of gold foil paper. You need to make sure you leave enough room around the circles you just punched out, so you can punch another circle using a 1 3/4" circle punch. This is going to create the ring that goes around the candy. Once you have them punched lay out the H's and rings on the insert where you want them. Once you are happy where they are glue them down.
Line up the 1 3/8" punch or framelit with the inside of the circle and cut. If you are using a punch, you will need to fold under the 1/2" side for the paper to fit in the punch.
All three sections are made the same way. First, burnish the score lines with a bone folder and cut up the score lines to create tabs. Use Tear and Tape on the tabs to make the boxes. Put the insert you just finished inside of the biggest box. You don't have to used any adhesive. Put a glue dot on the bottom of each candy so they don't fly around in the box.
I put the band around the box and adhered it with Tear and Tape. Whenever I do a 3D project I use Tear and Tape as it has the strongest glue we sell. I stamped the image from the Snowflake Sentiments stamp set using the Cherry Cobbler ink.
