Vintage Popcorn Boxes

As promised, here is a download for the popcorn boxes I made for AJ’s birthday party. Print on card stock, cut, fold, glue, fill, ENJOY!

I made them pink originally for AJ’s party, but thought you might like the traditional red as well. And here’s a quick photo how-to:

Template, scissors, glue – and you may want tape too – our boxes didn’t hold up great with just glue – the girls were particularly rough with them. Adults might be just fine without tape?

Print two panels for each box and score along all the fold lines to make folding easier in the next steps.

Cut out along the outside gray solid lines, except the scallop edge on top. Save that for the next step.

Fold the panel in half along the middle line.

With the panel folded, cut along the scallop edge. It doesn’t have to be perfect. You’ll probably toss the boxes when you’re done eating anyway.

Open it up and fold the side and bottom tabs in.

Glue the flaps as directed.

Putting two panels together, fold the blank flaps over the glue flaps and press. This photo is a bad example. It’s actually much tighter than this.

Now press the sides to together.

Use tape to reinforce the sides and bottom if you like (recommended).

That’s it!
