The box is from Tags, Bags, Boxes & More and cut as large as I could on a 12"x12" piece of cardstock. The box, when assembled, is 4 3/4"x6." The box was cut with some red polka dotted cardstock I found in my stash. It matches the apple I cut for the cards. I made the front of the box match my cards. I just left off the sentiment on the box. I used two buttons to create the closure for the box. I ran some twine through a blue button and tied it in a bow, leaving a loop on the bottom end. I then used an adhesive dot to glue it on the crayon box flap. I used a pop-dot to lift up the yellow button, this way the loop of twine can loop around the yellow button and keep the box closed. The cards are 5
