Tutorial for Hershey Nugget Valentine Slider Box

 I enjoyed putting together a tutorial for Hershey Nuggets...a slider box that you can personalize or decorate and that contains Hershey's Nuggets candies for your sweetheart.

I've included a couple of different box decorating ideas as well:

I started with a heavier, textured piece of 12 X 12" cardstock.

To make the base: 

• cut a 4" x 6 1/4" rectangle from the solid, textured cardstock
• Score a line around all edges of the rectangle at 5/8"
• Cut one scored line on the outside edge of where the lines intersect on each corner, as shown in the picture below represented by the red lines...cut straight on the scored line please...not like the sad attempt pictured! :)

• Fold the edges up on the scored lines and use a glue dot to adhere each corner

To make the slider top:

• Cut cardstock piece 7 3/4" x 5 1/4"
• Score one side of cardstock rectangle at 2 7/8" then at 2 1/4"
• Flip cardstock around to score the opposite side at 2" and then at 1 3/8"
• Fold score lines, then apply skinny tape to the very edge of the larger section cardstock edge 

Cut ten strips of patterned cardstock 1" x 3" and use a glue dot (right on the very end of each strip) to secure the paper around the candy nugget.

Wrap cardstock scored top around box filled with candy and secure tape to create the slider top.

You now have a completed box ready to decorate. The top should allow for a 2 7/8" x 5 1/4" space to decorate and should slide freely. 

The box pictured below was a sample for a class that I taught and went through quite a bit of sliding, but still held up:
