Slider Box Update

I was going to share my post about how to make a Valentine's chocolate slider box with you again but when I looked at the old posts (I originally posted this 9 years ago) I see the video is no longer working for some reason. I have no idea why this happens! Below is the link to the video on Youtube, but I thought I'd also make one and take a few pictures to give you a little more info in case you want to make one. I love this fun gift and it isn't hard to make, it's just hard to describe how to make! Watch the video and then look at my updated photos. Holler if you need help!

You'll need:

• paper or cardstock 10 1/2" x 3 1/2" for the slider box where you'll put the chocolates
• paper for the cover/sleeve, I usually do a piece of patterned paper
• adhesive, tape, ruler, scissors, pencil, scorer (optional)
• 9 1"x3" strips of paper with a letter printed on each one (computer or handwritten)
• 9 Hershey's Nugget chocolate bars
• Optional: things to decorate the slider box after it's completed - scrap cardstock, ribbons, etc.
  
  

First make the bottom slider box:

1. Score the 10.5" paper at 3/8" and 1" in from each end. Score the long sides at 1/2" and 1"

2. Following my pen lines below, cut one inch in at the corners, then cut the corner off leaving a tab underneath the 1" cut. This is harder to explain than it is to do. Hopefully you can see my pen lines - you're cutting off the corner parts I marked with an 'x' on all 4 corners. 

3. Fold all of the score lines in towards the center.

4. Now glue in place. Put adhesive along the sides, and on the underside of the little tabs. 

5. Fold the short end with the tabs up and stick the tabs to the long side. After you have all 4 tabs in place, fold the long ends over itself enclosing the tabs and creating the sides of the slider box. Finish by folding the short end over itself.

Now make the top cover/sleeve:

1. on the wrong side of the 9" paper, score along the long sides at 1" and 1 1/2", Repeat on other side. 

2. Fold all of the score lines. 

3. wrap the sleeve around the bottom slider box and tape closed. 

To finish: wrap the 1 x 3" strips around nuggets. Place in slider box. Decorate the top if you want.
