Paper Pumpkin Embellishments Tray

Good morning friends! I hope you're doing well today!  

Tuesday evening I did a livestream unboxing and alternative project share in the Paper Pumpkin Groupies Facebook Group.  I had created a sorting tray for all the incredible embellishments for this month's kit,  based on one of the group members' own sorting tray idea.  

A couple of people have asked for the measurements I used for my own tray, so I thought I'd post it here for anyone to see.  

If you're a Paper Pumpkin subscriber (or would like to be) consider joining my groupies.  Folks have a terrific time sharing their own alternative projects and participating in my monthly Facebook LIVE unboxing and alternative shares.  

If you're not already a Paper Pumpkin subscriber, but would like to be, you can SUBSCRIBE HERE! Paper Pumpkin is a fantastic monthly subscription box that comes direct to your mailbox each month and includes everything you need to create beautiful projects! It's so much fun! 

Ok, here is the template for the trays.  You'll cut each of the boxes as shown and then score each one at 1/2" on all four sides. Then you'll miter the four corners slightly, and assemble like a standard box.

So, You'll cut: 
(3) - 1 1/2" x 2" 

(1) - 1" x 2" 

(2) - 2" x 2 1/2" 

(1) - 1 1/2" x 2 1/2" 

(4) - 1" x 3" 

(1) - 1 1/2" x 3" 

(3) - 1 1/2" x 1 1/2" 

(1) - 1" x 1 1/2" 

Once you cut, score and assemble your trays, glue the trays in each row together.  Then, glue the rows together using liquid glue.  After you've glued all the trays together according to the diagram, you can attach ribbon handles (like I've done) or just glue the trays to the chipboard piece that came in your Paper Pumpkin kit.  My handles were approximately 6" long, but please make these the length you desire.  I glued them to the underside of the trays and THEN attached the whole thing to the chipboard.  This sandwiched the ribbon between the layers thus reinforcing them to stay put!  

****NOTE: When you attach your trays to the chipboard piece, line the back edge of the trays with the back edge of the chipboard. This should leave a small strip of chipboard showing in the front.  Doing this will ensure that you can close the box fully with the tray inside.  :-) 

I hope you enjoyed today's organizational project!  The September kit really had a TON of bits and pieces!  Having them sorted in this tray really helped in creating the projects and alternatives.  

Thanks so much for stopping by friends! 

Until Next Time,
Happy Crafting!
