   A large flower cut-out, a small flower cut-out for the center, 2 leaf cut-outs and a rhinestone for the belly band
   A small flower cut out with a rhinestone for the candies.

     With your paper in horizontal view, score at ¾”, 2 ¼” 3” and 4 1/2”.  (Diagram is not to scale.)

        Clip on the small side lines, as shown in red.  Punch a semi-circle on one side to make a cut for the lid.

7    

         Place sticky strip where the gray rectangular spaces are shown in the diagram.  Assemble your box.

       Take out your designer paper 1 1/4” x 7.”  Adhere this strip to the top panel of your box, wrapping it around the side edges as shown in the photo.

      Take out your cardstock 1 ½” x 5 ½” for the belly band.  Wrap this around your finished box and fold around the sides.  Score on the fold lines to make your band nice and crisp.  Glue it together on the bottom side.

    Now you are ready to decorate your belly band.  Adhere a flower with glue dots and attach some leaves and other desired embellishments.

    Use the four designer paper 1” x 3” strips to wrap around your Hershey’s nuggets.  Stick a glue dot to hold them in place.  Attach a small flower to one of the candies to decorate them.
