Sour Cream Container for a Small Gift

December 23, 2018 2 Comments

For today’s simple Sunday project I thought I’d show you a fun way to wrap a small gift or loose candy. This sour cream container is probably one of the simplest containers to make and needs no scoring or folding. This version also includes a twine handle so you can hang it on the Christmas tree if you wish.

SOUR CREAM CONTAINER

So just to recap, the patterned paper I used for the sour cream container is from the Under The Mistletoe Designer Series Paper pack. For this project I cut my paper to 4″ x 7-3/4″. My finished sour cream container is 4″ high x 3-3/4″ across.

I used Tear & Tape Adhesive to fix the main seam and the bottom edge. Then I added my candy before closing the top with more Tear & Tape Adhesive.

To hang the sour cream container I cut a piece of Gold Glimmer Paper 1″ x 3-3/4″ (this is 1/4″ less than half the width of my DSP). Next I tied a long loop of Whisper White Baker’s Twine and secured it in the crease of the Glimmer Paper. Then I folded the Glimmer Paper over the top seam of the container and secured it on each side with Tear & Tape Adhesive.

The Merry Christmas sentiment comes from the Mistletoe Season Stamp Set. I stamped it using Real Red ink on Whisper White Card and punched the sentiment using the Pretty Label Punch. Then I attached the sentiment to the finished sour cream container with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

ANY SIZE CONTAINER

You can create a sour cream container using any size of paper. If you start with a rectangle your finished project will be ‘square’, if you start with a square piece of DSP your finished project will be more ‘rectangular’.

Cut the paper twice as wide as you want the finished container plus 1/4″ to overlap the edges. You’ll need to cut the paper about 1/2″ taller than you want for the finished size to allow for the top and bottom closure.

This sour cream container was quick and easy to make and is filled with loose candy.
