How to Make Strawberry Boxes

Items you will need:

1 Strawberry Pattern on Red or Pink card stock

2 Leaf Patterns on Green card stock

(We scanned in our template and printed out our patterns onto the cardstock

but you can cut your pattern out and trace it onto card stock and it will work

fine)

Scissors

Ribbon - Enough to weave through the strawberry ends and tie a bow

A Creaser - to smooth your folds (Can be found with Quilting supplies at

WalMart)

1/8 inch Hole Punch

Secure bonding material (We just used clear tape but it is recommended to

use something better)

Small amount of Easter Grass

Small amount of Candy to place inside your favor. We used strawberry

covered chocolate. The wrapped strawberry hard candy would be a good

choice too.

Trace your template onto card stock of your choice. Cut out 1 strawberry

pattern and 2 leaf patterns.

Sister Debbie

Thank you for visiting Picking up

the Stitches blog site. Interestingly

enough, we have had visitors stop by from as far

away as Moscow, Russia, as well as different

states in the good ole' USA. We are very happy to

have the opportunity to be of service and hope

you are able to find something on our sight that

will minister to you or inspire you to minister to

others. If you would like to share projects from

your area with the Dorcas Ladies of Bald Knob,

Arkansas, please send them by e-mail to:

wantulok@sbcglobal.net. We look forward to

hearing from you. The Dorcas Club (taken from

Acts 9 KJV Bible) is a division of the Women's

Missionary Band of The Church of God. We work

together to minister to others and to raise funds

for missions through our individual talents. My

name is Sister Debbie and I am delighted to have

this opportunity to share with you the wonderful

works of the Ladies at Bald Knob, Arkansas. I am

wife of a godly husband who is currently serving

as Pastor. I am mother to five godly young men

who are all active in the Kingdom of God and The

Church of God. It is my desire to be found doing

all that I can for Christ and His Church.

Next fold along the dotted lines of the strawberry pattern. I fold where I can

see the lines first to help me fold a straight line. Then fold the paper back

to where you cannot see the lines and crease.

Creasing with a tool is recommended but it doesn't have to be this kind of

tool.

Bring the ends together and secure them in whatever manner. I used tape

but if you need it to be more secure use a more secure method.

Use a 1/8 inch hole punch to punch holes as indicated on the pattern. The

leaves may not fit into your hole punch. No worries, just fold the pattern in

1/2 and insert the pattern 1/2 way over the hole to punch. In so doing, a

complete hole will be punched.

Angle the ends of the ribbon with your scissors. Weave the ribbon through

the holes you made in the strawberry. I like to begin in the section that I

taped to first to help secure it. Be sure to gather the paper as you thread the

ribbon to keep from tearing your paper.

Add some type of stuffing. I used paper Easter Grass to keep from having

static issues. It looks natural having a little green hanging out of the

strawberry as if it were fresh picked.

Pull ribbon together and secure by tieing, making sure that each pedal on the

strawberry is tucked under or over evenly around. It will help to hide your

folds and make your straberry have a better appearance. If you are going to

add a treat, now is the time to do it. I added strawberry covered chocolate

pieces.

Thread both ends of the ribbon through the center holes in both of the leaves

you cut out. Make sure that the printed pattern is face down. Tie a bow to

secure the leaves. The leaves will look flat and fact. Hold the center of the

leaf secure so as not to tear the paper and run your finger nail down the

center of each leaf curling as you go. It will give a more natural texture to

your leaves. Make sure that your leaves are turned where both layers may

be seen.

Your strawberry is finished and ready to display or give as a favor. Make

several and place in a basket or on a tray. Simple, inexpensive, and

adorable. Oh, and they never spoil.

Several of us thought it was neat to have strawberry boxes from the

strawberry capital, Bald Knob, Arkansas. Now we can have strawberrys

anytime during the year.

Hope you enjoy the project. Let us know if you try it. There are several

versions of this pattern available on the internet but this is the method that we

used.

Have a strawberry day!
