Father's Day Gift Set Tutorial by Shantaie


What do you get when you add four SRM TUBES, a 5X5X3 kraft gift box and some fun embellishments? A 3D tiki hut mini bar gift set for Fathers day {or any day}!  Shantaie here today with a very fun tutorial for you!

We will be using a hole punch to add four openings in a box top to slip some tubes into, fill with margarita salt and margarita mix. We will then decorate our hut with die cuts and use stickers to make a sign up front!

Layer paper flowers and scrunch to make a mini tropical bouquet! Adhere over a twine bow and a couple of die cut surfboards.

Make a fun mini bunting by adhering a banner sticker from a SRM Border to white cardstock and trim, place across the grass roof for a splash of color!

Of course if margaritas are not Dad's favorite and you want to fill your tiki TUBES with candy there are lots of fun ideas like Swedish fish or beer favored jelly beans! Have fun with it! 

Want to make your own Tiki Mini bar?
Here are the instructions!  I used SRM's 5X5X3 kraft box

Mark the kraft box lid 1" over and 1" in, that will be the center of your hole. Punch with a circle punch no larger than 1.25" at all four markings as pictured.

Apply an adhesive to the inner portion of the box flap, and fold into box.

Use the same method to secure the box top flap, the will give the box more stability.

Make sure your tubes fit properly, and are ready to be filled!

To make the roof, cut a 6X8 piece of sturdy kraft cardstock and score in the center. Apply strong adhesive and adhere your fringe to both sides. I found an arm and leg band set for 4.99 that is the perfect length for the roof!

Cut a piece of kraft cardstock 6X5 and score 1/2" on each end of the 6" side. Measure and mark four spaces as you did for the box top and punch four holes.   
Fold the scored flap upwards and add strong adhesive, secure to center of the tiki roof.

This will allow you to slip the roof over the tubes as pictured below. Now you are ready to decorate! Enjoy!
