Kawaii Paper Goods: Celebrate Tea & Treat Holder

This Celebrate Tea & Treat Holder is part of the Kawaii Paper Goods Subscription Box Volume 2 Challenge!

What is Kawaii Paper Goods? They are a NEW paper company from Japan and have the most kawaii (cute/adorable in Jpn) designs. The paper is about 80+ lbs and of good quality. They have retailers in the U.S. carrying their collections like my favorite online store, The Button Farm, where I purchased mine.

The subscription box is a quarterly kit full of exclusive papers and embellishments that will not be sold outside the kit. The challenge is open to those who purchased the kit and is worldwide. The winner receives a $30 Kawaii Paper Goods gift certificate and highlighted on their social media.

There five-category challenges (deadline: 10/29) and this is my DIY entry. Are you interested? Click Kawaii Paper Goods Subscription Bx Vol 2 Challenge (Public FB Post)!

**I receive products from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® for use in my projects. The opinions are completely my own based on my experience and doing so I can share what I personally love to use.**

Tea & Treat Holder Base

Start with a 3 x 10-inch patterned paper piece. On the long side (10-inch side), score at 4.25-inch and 5.75-inch. Set aside.

Cut a 4 x 6-inch piece of patterned paper. On the long side (6-inch), score every half-inch. Turn the paper on the short side (4-inches) and cut in half to create two 2 x 6-inch strips. These are the side walls of the holder.

Apply Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/4-inch to the first inside scored panel, skip a panel, and apply to the third panel. Repeat this on every other panel to the end. See the right side piece. I did the same on the left and turned it around. So that they are the opposite.

Next cut seven 3 x 2-inch cardstock dividers. Adhere one divider from the two ends. You will see how the divider was adhered in the second image.

Repeat with all six dividers. For the seventh divider, apply the Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/4-inch on the outside flap on the ends. Then adhere accordingly. Set aside.

Making the Rosette

The fun part is to decorate the front. I thought a rosette would be a perfect accent. So I used the Origami paper pack and cut into three strips of 1.5 x 6-inches.

 

Then I scored each on the long side (6-inches) at every 1/4-inch. The accordion-fold starting with a mountain-fold.

I connect the three strips with Premium Double-Sided Tape 1/8-inch and made a circle. Lastly, I adhered the ends together and secured the rosette with an Adhesive Dots 3D on the back to a piece of scrap paper as its base.

I grabbed a coffee ephemera piece from the Ephemera Pack and centered it on top of the rosette with an Adhesive Dot 3D.

The Details

Going back to the holder base, I punched a decorative corner rounder to each corner, front and back. Also, on the top middle, I punched a hole to thread a ribbon to close the holder.

Using the clear stamp in the Subscription Kit, I stamped Celebrate on a 3.5 x 1-inch strip of patterned paper.

Add the sentiment to the bottom of the ephemera using an Adhesive Line.

With my E-Z Runner Grand and Ultra Strong Refill, I secured the Rosette to the front of the holder and adhered the divider section on the inside of my holder.

Add small flowers to the front with Adhesive Dots Medium and Light Pink Bubble gems in the centers.

Inside add tea bags and a couple of thin chocolate treats. Tie the ribbon into the bow on top and it's ready to give!

I hope you enjoyed this project. Give it a try! If you haven't already, please follow me on the blog or my ILscraps Instagram
