OOooo...I can't wait to make one (who am I kidding...100) of them!
Just curious, what size labels are you ladies using on the nuggets? I don't have any on-hand, so I'll need to buy some, unless I just use cardstock. But, since I also have to get some nuggets, I can't measure which size label to use. ;)
I just stumbled accross this this morning and quick ran to my stamp room to make one. It is DARLING and I will be using it for my Open House this Sunday!
This is my first attempt at anything other than a card. I can't believe how well the instructios are written and how easy they are to make! There are 7 nugget boxes cut out and scored, just waiting for my new Valentine wheel to arrive so that they can be finished! These are going to my kids day care providers. Thank you, Beth, for taking the time to share this.
I tried my hand at one of these, but definately make sure you make one out of paper first! It makes SUCH a difference in seeing how they go together,and if you ruin a piece of paper, OH WELL! LOL! The kids love these and can't wait to give them out for valentines day. Thanks Beth for the great instructions, any suggestions on how to size these up for a 4 or 5 nugget box?

thanks for sharing; how long does it take to make one? it looks complicated...but the final product looks great....is it complicated or once you start is it actually easy?

The first time that you make one, it might take you a while, maybe 10 minutes? a little more or a little less...not too long at all! You might find that if your measurements are not exact, you may need to make a few extra clips here and there. My scoring is never perfect with my cutter, so I did have to clip a few corners to get them to fold in just right, but once you make the first one, you will know just what I mean. The directions are great and once you get your first one made, you will fly through the next 100 that you do! You might be surprised at how small they are - I was, but three nuggets are not very big either, so I don't know what I was expecting!
I would also love to know about the 4 nugget box. I have a baby shower coming up and its a girl. I would love to stamp G I R L out on the nuggets. Thanks!

If I am not using a sticky address label to decorate the nugget, but I want to use stamped paper, what size would I cut the paper to fit around the nugget? I do not have a bag of nuggets on hand right now to measure, but want to stamp and precut the paper now. I use only craft ink and it would take a while to dry anyway.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!! My upline couldn't find her instructions and I want to do it at stamp show on Sun. I've been looking for the instructions and now I have them, yeah!!!! :mrgreen: :p
I appreciate it!!

They're definitely not works of art, but I just wanted to practice. I *love* these...they're so cute and so full of possibility. I can't wait to get some Nuggets. How to keep from eating them, though.... :-P
Beth- Thanks so much for sharing your template. It is sooo cute and I can't wait to try it. I also saw some of you other stuff and you are an inspiration!!

I love the boxes sooo much!! I have seen them before but have never known how to make them. I noticed that you have made ones that are for 2, all the way up to 9 and 16! Can you by chance point me in the right direction as to how I can deturmine the dimensions needed for the other boxes? I would love to make them for Christmas gifts for my Kids teachers and family and friends. Thanks a bunch!!!!
