Box Construction:

Box Bottom:

1. Cut and score as described in preparation

directions.

2. r Apply Sticky Strip to the flaps as shown in picture

to the right.

3.

Adhere the Designer Series Paper cut in thepreparation directions to the four flaps that will

form the sides of the box.

4. Peel off the Sticky Strip backing and fold in the sides to form the box bottom.

Box Insert:

1. Cut and score as described in preparation

directions.

2. Fold on the score lines to form two “mountains.”

3. Insert this piece into the box bottom to separate the candles from each other.



Box Top:

1. Cut and score as described in preparation directions.

2. Using a pencil, measure a rectangle inside of

the box top by allowing a 5/16” border on allsides of the center rectangle inside the fold

lines. Use a square punch to punch out the

center using the lines drawn or use a hobby

knife to cut out the rectangle.

3. Apply sticky strip to the inside of the box along

the border that was made. Remove the backing and adhere the window sheet

that was cut in the preparation directions.

4. Apply sticky strip to the flaps of the box top and assemble it.

Stamp the Candles:

1. On a piece of Vanilla colored tissue paper, stamp two

“reindeer” images and one “Dec. 25” image from the“Winter Post” stamp set using Espresso Classic Ink.

2. Using Stampin Write Markers, color in the leaves and

berries of the “Dec. 25” image very carefully.

3. Cut out the images.



4. Lay one of the images on the votive candle and

wrap a piece of wax paper tightly around it with the wax

side TOWARDS the

candle.

5. Apply heat

using the heat gun.

Be very watchful and

remove the heat as SOON as the image

appears somewhat shiny. (You are actually

melting the wax from the wax paper onto the

image and joining it to the wax from the candle.) If it is overheated, the candle

will begin to melt and change the texture of the candle.

6. Repeat the process to decorate the other

two candles. Color two pearls using a Red marker

and heat set with the heat gun. Apply the pearls

to the reindeers noses.



Decorate the Package:

1. Insert the candles into the box

and close the lid. Be sure that

the images show through the

window.

2. Tie a length of 1-1/4” Espresso

Striped Grosgrain Ribbon around

the box into a bow.

3. Attach a Vintage Brad to the

center of the bow.

4. Stamp the “To: From:” image onto a scrap of Very Vanilla Card Stock and punch

out using the Large Tag Punch.

5. Punch a tag from the Espresso Card Stock using the Extra Large Tag Punch and

adhere the stamped punch to this piece. Punch a hole in the tag and tie to the

Striped Ribbon with Linen Thread.
