I knew there must be a way to turn the Mini Treat Bag Thinlet into a BOX. So I started working on it a couple weeks ago. With a couple trial and errors, I finally came up with these two ideas for boxes! I took the colors from the fun Sale-A-Bration Best Day Ever Designer Paper and used the coordinating Ribbon and Button Accessory Pack, too!
One box has a handle, the other closes at the top with the flower helping to hold it closed. The Framelit has lots of little accessory pieces like the banner and “enjoy”…so I added a couple of those, too! Want to know how to make them? Go get my FREE TUTORIAL on Create with Connie and Mary today!

Great ‘out of the box’ idea for the Mini Treat Bag Thinlets. Love this and the color combo is beautiful. Also, thanks for the chance to win a subscription to your Spring Collection.
Cute box Connie – very clever! I love your chosen colour scheme too – those flowers look great!
Wonderful! I am glad there are people who can figure out how to use tools in a different way. That is something I am not very good at. Thanks!
Wow! Leave it. Talented designers to figure how to go “outside the bag” in this case and make it a box! I will be trying this today! Anxious for tomorrow! This has been a great week!
Cute idea Connie….love how you used all the little accessory pieces too!
Just beautiful and fabulous color coordination!
These are fabulous! Love your color selections – so fun! I’m glad you can “think outside the box (ummm, bag)” because it’s not one of my skills 🙂 Thanks for sharing!
Love them!
WoW, just WoW! You are very brilliant to figure a way to use this framelit in another fashion! Thank you so much for sharing the tutorial with us so that we can also make boxes.
OMG! How cute is this and a great way to advertise the new thinlet! Thanks Connie!!

I have purchased your classes before to hold my own workshops in Monument, CO. I hope I win, I have two elderly parents that are both very sick and have taken over my time to crate classes. It would be a huge help to me! Thanks for your consideration.
