Wedding Take Out Favor Boxes

Updated 8/21/09 added photo and additional comments: photo of boxes assembled below. Yes, each of the boxes had to be cut out one by one. There is a take out box die but the size was too large. Inside the boxes revealed a forune cookie with a surprise message from the Bride and Groom: "Mike & Laura, August 19, 2009"

Here's all the handles in piles of 10:

To make the handles uniformly, my DH (darling honey) made a template to wrap the 20 gauge wires:

Yup, these puppies were from an old fashion plastic template (remember those?). The template is a "PSX 1998" and is quite old. Thank goodness for Fed EX Office where 165 copies were printed pretty quickly on red card stock.

After printed, I made a postion template to stamp the Double Happiness. Cut them, punched the hole for the handles, and turned them over to mark the score lines scored. Last step: apply the sticky tape to assemble.

Here are some of the completed embossing:

Here's the pile of cut, punched, embossed, scored take out boxes.
