SUPPLIES

Shaker Milk box Template

Cardstock (Colors of your choice)

Acetate sheet

Double side adhesive tape

Cutting machine or Scissors

Sequins

Silicone glue or silicona liquida (Similar one

Foam tape (Optional)

HOW TO CUT THE TEMPLATES

You can cut the templates by hand or use a cutting machine such as Cricut or Silhouette Cameo.

CRICUT

- Upload the SVG file in Cricut Design space.

-  If you have a scoring wheel or scoring stylus, make sure to use the SVG files with solid lines and remember to set up the score lines, before sending to cut. Check out my tutorial to learn how to set up score lines in cricut design design space.

-  The SVG with dashed lines are intended to be cut, so you don’t need any scoring tool.

SILHOUETTE CAMEO

- If you use a silhouette machine, make sure to open the DXF file with dashed lines in silhouette studio. Please check out the import preferences to Open "As is".

BY HAND

 If you cut by hand, I recommend using the PDF files.

1. Print out the shaker milk box template on cardstock. Note: Youll need to print out the acetate window template on paper, then trace onto acetate.

2. Cut out the shaker milk box with scissors and craft knife.

3. Score along the dashed lines using a ruler and bone folder.

4. Fold all scored edges.

5. Assemble the box as shown in the video linked below.

6. Fill the box with your favorite treats!

TIP: You can also print all the pieces of the template on paper, then trace onto cardstock and acetate and cut them out.

TIPS

 The files come in a zipped folder, you need to unzip or extract the files to your computer. 

On a Windows PC, right click the zipped folder and choose Extract Here or Extract All. On a Mac, just double click the zipped folder to unzip it.

For best results, I recommend  80 lb / 216 gsm up to 100 lb / 270 gsm cardstock

- You could use sequins, beads or confetti to make the shaker part.

Instead of glue, you could use double side adhesive tape.

  1. Hi! I was wondering if this could be made larger and keep its dimensions if I were to put it in Cricut?

    1. Hello! Yes, you can make the box bigger in Cricut design, but you need to select all the pieces of the template to resize them. If you have any questions, I will be happy to help you! :)

    1. Hello! I used clear craft glue. A similar one would be the Beacon craft glue, you can find it at the dollar tree or amazon
