St. Patricks treat box with belly band

I was perusing the Cricut message boards today and saw this darling Valentine's treat box. It appeared she wasn't ready to share the file so I just set out to duplicate it. I'm not sure of her dimensions, so I just set it up for cutting from 8.5 x 11 inch cardstock. The finished size is 2.5 x 2.5 x 2.5 inches, its a cube.

This is how it looks when the belly band is removed and the sides fall out.

And the view from above, with the sides fully laid flat.

And folded back up. The gap at the top is fully closed when the belly band is slipped on.
The box holds 3 York peppermint patties and 2 Ghirardelli's squares easily.

I designed this box using George basic shapes and Mini monograms cartridges in the Cricut design studio. If you would like this file, leave me a comment on this post and I will send it on out to you. The shamrock on the front was cut from A childs year cartridge, but you could choose anything to decorate the front. Heart for Valentine's day, Bunny or egg for Easter, the possibilities are endless.

Find inspiration everywhere! Go... Create something fun & fabulous. Enjoy!
