Let’s take a look at how we made this….  WATCH THIS VIDEO!!!!!  Click here if you are viewing this from your email.  

Cutting Directions:

1.  Cut 2 of the largest stars out of Real Navy cardstock
2. Cut 2 of the second largest stars in Marshmallow Fluff cardstock
3. Cut a piece of Real Navy cardstock 4″ x 4″ for the box and score at 1″ and 3″ then turn and score at 1 1/2″ and 2 1/2″
4. (optional insert) cut at 3″ x 1 1/4″ and score at 1/2″ on each end.
5. (optional wobble stars) cut a few of the acetate strips 1/4″ x 3″ and cut some random stars (large and small)
6. (optional nugget inserts) cut strips of the God Bless America paper in strips of 1 1/2″ x 3 1/4″ and wrap around the mini candy bars.  I used Hershey’s Miniatures for this project.  

Put your box together first (follow along with the video).

Stamp your sentiment on the star if you are using a sentiment then put your stars together.

Add the stars to the front and back of the box.

Add your wobbles.

Make your nuggets.

Using the 6 x 6 God Bless America Paper Pack.
