Pocket Matchbook Candy Holder Tutorial

Step By Step Picture Tutorial on How to make a Pocket Matchbook Candy Holder

1.  Cut two pieces of cardstock (color of your choice - I used Very Vanilla - SU) at 5 3/4" x 2 3/8"  and another at 7 3/8" x 2 3/4".

2.  Score the following pieces at the following measurements:

5 3/4" piece of cardstock needs to be scored at 2 1/4", 2 1/2", 2 3/4", 5", 5 1/4'', and 5 1/2".

7 3/8" piece of cardstock needs to be scored at 3", 3 1/2", and 6 3/4"

3.  With the 5 3/4" piece of cardstock fold the cardstock to make a mountain and then a valley fold and then adhere, as shown here. 

 

4. With the 7 3/8" piece of cardstock, fold the score lines, and add a piece of red line tape (I used scor tape in this example) to the 1/2" flap.  Make sure when applying the tape you place it close to the score line and not at the other edge or else your top flap won't be able to tuck inside.

5.  Place the pocket insert as shown and adhere the flap to the insert.

6.  After adhereing the insert open the matchbook pierce holes for the brads, and add brads to the front flap. 

7.  Decorate the inside flap as desired.  Black cardstock is cut at 2" x 1 3/4".  The other pieces of cardstock are cut 1/8" smaller.  Adhere to inside pocket .

8.  Decorate the front flap.  Black cardstock is cut at 2 1/2'' x 2 1/2'' .  The other layers are 1/8'' smaller. Adhere to the front flap.

Add 1 Ghiradelli chocolate inside the pocket insert.  You can make these for anyone and any occasion!  Have fun!
