This box is done much like the acetate box but this one only has two pieces to it. Cut your card stock 8 1/4" long by 5 7/16" tall. Score like you would for the acetate box at 1 15/16" inches 3 times across. Score the bottom edge at 1 15/16" Follow the directions for the rest of the box here.
I used a wheel and wheeled on white card stock. I punched a 1 3/8" hole for the window and added a piece of acetate, attaching it with Tacky glue. I also used Tacky glue to put the box together with. I figured I had the glue out anyway! I'm SO lazy!!! LOL I made the cover and glued it also. I did not punch holes in the side of the box or lid to tie the ribbon on with. I just wrapped the ribbon on the outside of the box and tied it into a bow. It gave it more of an elegant look having the ribbon go all the way around the box. I added a little Bayou Blue bow on the front of the box. It was just enough to keep it looking feminine enough.
I filled a little 2" x 3" zip bag with bath salts and put it inside the box before I taped it up. The recipe for the bath salts can be found here. It is now ready for gift giving, craft fairs or to do as a Make N Take or for Stamp Camp. Lots of uses for this item!!

Lovely!!Great gift idea!!
Great Idea! I have my first craft show coming up soon! Thanks!
Love the colours you used. very nice.
Very cute idea! Think will do one for my xmas stamp camp. I just want to confirm so I do the right thing, can you put the salts in a plastic bag or not? One entry says no, it's the enemy, and thie entry say you put it in a 2x3 bag. I just want to make sure it is ok to do. Thanks,
