Materials Used
We used several products and supplies in the making of this cute little crayon box. Below is a list of what we used.
- Crayon Teacher Appreciation 3D Gift Box – Digital Download SVG
- Recollections cardstock
- Art Glitter Glue
- Electric Cutting Machine – Cricut or Silhouette
Crayon Box Body
This crayon is put together with just a few pieces. To start, we took the crayon side and rolled it to courage a circular shape. Then we added glue to the long tab and attached tit to make a cylinder shape.
We then closed off the bottom of the crayon box by taking the long narrow panel, and looping it around and gluing the tab to create a circular shape. Once that was in place, we folded over the tabs, added glue, and placed one of the circular panels in to close it off. With that secure, we turned it over, and glued the other circular panel to cover the tabs.
With the bottom of the crayon made, we added glue to the inside and slid the crayon cylinder in place.
Crayon Box Lid
We then set this aside, and started making the top of the crayon. We took the long narrow panel, and looped it around and glued the tab to create a circular shape. Once that was in place, we folded over the tabs, added glue, and placed the circular ring panel in the center.
We then made the cone shape for the top by curving and gluing the long tab to create the start of the cone. Once this was secure, we folded the tabs out and slid the ring in place. Then we folded the tabs at the top in, added glue and closed the top of the cone with the small circular panel.
We then added glue to the bottom of the ring, and placed it on top of the crayon lid.
We then placed the lid on the crayon in order to correctly place the long thin panels and the oval decorative panel.
Used Crayon Box
This used crayon box is put together almost the same as the regular crayon. To start, we took the crayon side and rolled it to courage a circular shape. Then we added glue to the long tab and attached tit to make a cylinder shape.
We then added the wrapper for the crayon. All our used crayons have torn wrappers, so we did the same with this one. The top is the side were the oval is closest to. We then chose a point and started tearing to give the look we wanted. You can determine just how much or little of the wrapper you tear, though it does seem to look best if the torn wrapper lands below where the lid of the crayon sits.
We then added some glue and attached the wrapper to the cylinder of the crayon.
We then closed off the bottom of the crayon by taking the long narrow panel, and looping it around and gluing the tab to create a circular shape. Once that was in place, we folded over the tabs, added glue, and placed one of the circular panels in to close it off. With that secure, we turned it over, and glued the other circular panel to cover the tabs.
With the bottom of the crayon made, we added glue to the inside and slid the crayon cylinder in place.
Used Lid Assembly
We then set this aside, and started making the top of the crayon. We took the long narrow panel, and looped it around and glued the tab to create a circular shape. Once that was in place, we folded over the tabs, added glue, and placed the solid circular panels in to close it off.
We then made the cone shape for the top by curving and gluing the long tab to create the start of the cone. Once this was secure, we folded the tabs at the top in, added glue and closed the top of the cone with the oval shaped panel. We then folded the tabs at the bottom out, added glue, and slid the ring over and applied gentle pressure to secure the hold.
We then added glue to the bottom of the ring, and placed it on top of the crayon lid.
