Materials Needed for Your Christmas tree treat box
To craft this festive box, gather the following supplies:
Cutting Machine: A Cricut or other compatible cutting machine for precise cuts.
Cardstock: Choose cardstock in your preferred colours. I used green, and brown colours, at 216 gsm in weight.
Cutting Mat: Use a StandardGrip mat to hold your cardstock while cutting.
Glue: I prefer using glue with a fine-tip applicator for precise, clean application.
Sticky tape (Optional): To make the box more sturdy.
These essentials will help you create a beautiful holiday card ready to share with loved ones!
Preparing the File for Cutting.
Follow these steps to ensure your file is ready for both cutting on a Standard Grip mat.
Download and unzip the files on your computer / device.
Go to your Cricut canvas and click upload.
From your downloads, select the Cricut SVG file to upload onto your Cricut canvas. You can choose between a file with separate score lines or one where the score lines are cut out.
If you choose the file with separate score lines, you’ll need to adjust the settings in your Cricut canvas. All SVG files load as cut files by default, so first, ungroup the design. Then, select the score lines, change them to ‘Score,’ and attach them to the Christmas tree base before clicking 'Make It.
Click make it, and follow instructions on screen to cut your card stock pieces out.
