Nugget Six Pack

Here are some fun nugget six packs that I have been working on.  Each little "tote" holds 6 nuggets and can be decorated any way you like.  I've chosen to use some retired product but you can use whatever you have handy to make these cuties.

Here is a little bit more of a close up and you can also see the back where the remaining 3 nuggets are nestled in.  So - for the directions - here we go!

Start with a piece of card stock cut at 8" x 4".  You will score these on the long side at: 
1", 1-1/2", 3", 5", 6-1/2" and 7".
Flip the card stock over and score it at 4" on the reverse side.  This is just so your scoring will go in the directions that you want to fold the card stock.
Now turn it and score it at 1/2" at each side of the 4" side of the card stock.  
Cut up to the scored lines as shown and cut out the middle pieces as shown.

Flip it over and add Tear and Tape at these locations.

Now as you fold them up you will get a pocket like this.  You will have the larger taller part on the outside.

When you do the other side, it will look like this.

Now turn it over and add Tear and Tape at these locations.  One at the bottom, and one on each side of the scored line.  Try to keep these last two as close to the scored line as possible.

When you take the Tear and Tape off and attach the two ends, this is what you will be left with.

Now, trim off the ends going from the front flap up to the scored line.

When you get all 4 corners cut off it will look like this.

I know our Word Window Punch is retired but this is the best tool for this job.  Push it in all the way.  Yup, part of your punch will be inside the pockets you have created.  But it will work just fine.  Punch out that handle.

This will be what you will end up with.  Now you can decorate it any way you want to.  For your measurements, for the outside of the tote the Designer Paper that I used was cut to 2-7/8" x 7/8" and to wrap the candy I cut that paper to 1" x 3".
Hope you have fun creating your own nugget six packs!
