Thanksgiving Takeout Boxes

Now that Halloween is over, I can finally dedicate my energy to thinking about the upcoming feast of Thanksgiving.  And with that feast comes leftovers. Glorious leftovers.

Header - Turkeys

This is the one time of year I don’t mind having my fridge stuffed full of last night’s meal.  But alas, sometimes those leftovers need to be sent home with friends and family. Today I am sharing a simple takeout box that you can mass produce with ease.  Wrap each box with a piece of patterned paper and send those leftovers away in style.

Each box is die cut from textured cardstock and is wrapped with a piece of patterned paper. This tuck and fold style box stays together without the wrap, but the wrap makes it extra pretty.

Trim a strip of patterned paper to create a band around each box.  Choose fall-themed colors or use anything you have on hand.  Hop on over to my blog to see how I used the remaining turkey die cuts to make cute tags and labels.

Be sure to line the box with parchment paper or wrap leftovers in a plastic bag before putting them in the box.

Thanksgiving Leftovers Boxes by @popperandmimi using @Pebblesinc collectionsTo make the takeout boxes, you will need two sheets of 12″x12″ cardstock. Die cut two box pieces and adhere them together with This to That double sided super sticky red tape. I like to use this tape when I am making 3-D projects.

Hold the box together by adhering a few pieces of transparent tape on the inside of the box. The rest of the box is held together with tucks, tabs, and folds.

Happy Thanksgiving!
