Day 9, Candy Cane treat box

Day 9 in my 12 days of Christmas, brings you to a project that my boys were sure I could make. They have been on me to make a candy cane shaped treat box for a few weeks so I went ahead and gave it a shot. Basically hand drew a 2 inch thick candy cane shape on scratch paper and cut it out on some classic white card stock. Then took a strip of card stock 11 inches long and scored 1/2 inch down one side adhered my score pal tape to the back, then began to wrap around the shape base. Cutting little slits in that 1/2 inch as it was curved around the cane. The 11 inch piece was not long enough to cover the whole shape, so I needed another little piece to wrap around and close off the candy cane. Then I cut out a few red stripes of paper to add to the side for the stripes. Some gingham red ruffled ribbon around the border at the top, add a few pearls and you now have a candy cane shaped treat box. Sheeshhh... the things I do for these boys. :0) ofcourse they then proceeded to tell me "See, we told you that you could make one" ha ha
