Hi, can you please advise me which cricut I should buy to make and print soap boxes? Could you please make a video on how to print on boxes made in cricut?
Ahhhh...okay. That makes perfect sense! I knew there had to be a reason why you used two sheets! Thanks for explaining before I set off to make one using one sheet and didn't like the end results! :-) Keep up the FANTASTIC job!
You're great at giving specific details on how and where to cut, fold and score. The box is perfect thank you much, that's exactly what I was looking for.Have a blessed day. :o)
Oh wow, this is so perfect. I love it. I love the one with the pattern paper too. It's put together the same as the plain paper right? Thank you so, so much. I will make some and let you know where you can see them on my blog. Thanks again Jenn. hugs, Debi
I'm so glad you like it! Yes, all of the boxes were made using the same measurements, folds, etc., the only thing different is the cardstock. You're welcome, anytime!!! I can't wait to see the ones you make! Please feel free to share this video on your blog if you want to for reference!
This is great. Thank you so much for showing us how. What would the dimensions be for a soap box that is 3.25x2.125x1.25? How are the measurements figured out? This was the first vid of yours I've seen. I'll def put on fb, but more importantly on google +!
Thank you! Yes, you could do it with one sheet of 6" x 12", but the lid would not completely cover the bottom (I did it the way I did in the video because I prefer it cover completely and the box is sturdier when made out of two pieces - which worked great for the weight of the soap). To create the box with a 6"x12" you would score at 1.5" on the long sides, just like in the video. Then score at 1.5", 5.5", 7" and 11". Fold and glue/tape as per the video (that is, the video After the two pieces have been attached to each other), making sure that the 1" end becomes the lid of the box. At this stage you will probably want to trim the sides of the top to 1" to match the front as they will be 1.5" by default. As I said, it isn't quite as sturdy and the lid doesn't cover the bottom completely, but it is doable and you would be able to get two boxes out of a 12" x 12" that way. Let me know if this is clear enough, I would also be happy to make a video.
As mentioned in the title of the video, this box was made with cardstock. You could use a heavy weight cardstock if you want the box to be a bit sturdier but standard cardstock that you can purchase from a craft store is what I used in the video. I hope this helps.
First of all, thanks for this. I've made the box and it holds my soaps well. I have soaps that are taller, Please what dimensions will I use for those?

Hi Tania! Close to My Heart and Stampin' Up sell in Australia, they both have a lovely range of stamps, stamp pads and punches (as well as dies). Spotlight has some options as well.
Hi I just want to say I love your videos I would like to make a video request for a cookie box for homemade treats or cookies or candies made with 12x12 card stock or 8 1/2x11.thank you very much.
Hi, thank you for the video loved it. If you would be so kind to tell me where did you get that tool you use to cut the front of the box I would really appreciate it, thanks!
Hi Stephanie! You're welcome! :) The exact tool in the video is a paper trimmer made by Fiskars that I purchased from a craft store in the states back in the very early 2000's. Unfortunately, that specific model is no longer made. However, Fiskars and other brands are always coming up with new models, so you should be able to find something similar at your local craft or office supply store (i.e. Michael's, Hobby Lobby, Joann Fabrics, Staples in the states; Spotlight, Officeworks in Australia). Most of the party plan craft companies also sell paper trimmers (Stampin' Up, Close to my Heart, etc.). I hope this is helpful and that you are able to find one that will work for you! :)
this box was just the box that imma use. when I go get the materials I'll do it and have a box for both my sons. then they'll use em and say my big guy made this! its what i like and she wont say anythign when I make a mess #lol
hi sorry me again. am a newbie soap maker. I made soap like a cake. I cut it. like large pieces of cake. having a problem wrapping to look nice. tried shrink wrap. but would like it to be more special. tried wrapping nice craft paper around. really awkward. is their a easier way please. or a easy box. for a stupid old woman. thank you. loving your videos.
Hi Catherine! Thank you! Ohhh that is lovely that you make soap! Are the pieces wedge shaped (like a piece cut from a round cake) or rectangular prism (like from a sheet cake)? Also, what are the dimensions?
That's the easiest box ever, Ruth down under
Hi, can you please advise me which cricut I should buy to make and print soap boxes? Could you please make a video on how to print on boxes made in cricut?

hi Tania, you can get stamp pads and punches from k- mart and the riot art shop.hope this helps.
Ahhhh...okay. That makes perfect sense! I knew there had to be a reason why you used two sheets! Thanks for explaining before I set off to make one using one sheet and didn't like the end results! :-) Keep up the FANTASTIC job!
No worries! :-) Thank you so much! I really, really appreciate it!
Is it possible to do a sliding box? Kind of like a match stick box but for small gifts or soap?
Hi Larissa! I am just seeing your message! Sure! What dimensions would you like it to be?
Oh my gosh! Yes! I just said mmm... I want a sliding soap box!
You're great at giving specific details on how and where to cut, fold and score. The box is perfect thank you much, that's exactly what I was looking for.Have a blessed day. :o)
Thank you so much! I really appreciate it! I hope you have a wonderful day too!
hi thank you for replying. yes it's a wedge piece. thank you
Wonderful video and tutorial...I've been looking for this this exact type of box! Thanks so much.
Oh wow, this is so perfect. I love it. I love the one with the pattern paper too. It's put together the same as the plain paper right? Thank you so, so much. I will make some and let you know where you can see them on my blog. Thanks again Jenn. hugs, Debi

That is really good thanks for the idea I will make some for my soap
Thank you for this easy to follow tutorial!
I make soap these are great!
Would like to see a box without a cover that holds multiple bars of soap. Then you tie around the box to hold them in.
This is great. Thank you so much for showing us how. What would the dimensions be for a soap box that is 3.25x2.125x1.25? How are the measurements figured out? This was the first vid of yours I've seen. I'll def put on fb, but more importantly on google +!
Very helpful info and much appreciated!
Great demonstration and very well explained, thank you! Can you please do a heart shaped box tutorial.
That’s a great idea! I will add it to the list!
Very cute!
Wow! I love it! Could this be made using only one sheet of paper instead of cutting it in half?
Thank you! Yes, you could do it with one sheet of 6" x 12", but the lid would not completely cover the bottom (I did it the way I did in the video because I prefer it cover completely and the box is sturdier when made out of two pieces - which worked great for the weight of the soap).
