Tote Mini Two Ghirard Choc Squares

Create this small-scale carrier to hold your gift of a pair 

of Ghirardelli wrapped chocolate squares 

in snug pockets on front and back,

where tiny heart add-ons can set the mood. 

(May also fit other wrapped candies such as 

peppermint patties, etc.) 

Separate shapes allow for fun and efficient 

paper pattern combinations. 

Optional front triangle wrap-on overlay 

presents the illusion of an envelope front. 

Add ribbon or other embellishments as desired. 

Let the kids have fun mixing and matching shapes 

then assisting with the quick assembly for 

Valentine gifting. 

Suitable as dining place card or table treats. 

Tote measures approx. 3” wide x 3.5” tall x 

.625” deep when assembled. 

ASSEMBLY: 1. Identify and cut the shapes:

A center fold-in-half divider

B pockets panel for front & back

C optional top-flange front overlay (2)

D heart accent (2)

Also shown: sample Ghirardelli chocolate square

that fits in the pockets

2. Fold back the center support at the cross perforation,

apply adhesive to backside of one of the panels, then

press together, taking care to accurately align all cut edges.

Press under a heavy flat weight until glue is dry.

3. Prepare the double pockets panel by bending

back on all perforation lines for panels, base panel,

side flanges and tabs.

4. If you choose to use the front "faux envelope"

overlays, first bend the top tab back on perf line.

Then apply adhesive to backside of panel and tab.

5. Slip the top tab over the lowest center portion of

each front panel angle, adjust to be centered with

bottom straight edge more or less aligned with

pocket front lower edge, then press to glue in place.

6. Position and attach the heart accents, if desired.

Press the assembly under heavy flat object until

glue is dry.

7. Prepare to form the double pockets by applying

dabs of glue to the two tabs on each small tab extending

at the bottom of each side pocket boxing. 

Bend the side boxing panels back into place and

in the same process bend each end section back

until long side tabs are side by side. Apply pressure

to attach the glued up tabs to the bottom panel.

Repeat for both sides.

8. Flex the pockets as slightly as possible and

apply glue to each of the two long side flanges,

and repeat for the opposite side of assembly.

Then immediately . . .

. . . slide the center support in between the two

flanges and push fully in until it stops at bottom panel.

Adjust so that side boxing/flange edges align with

center support as precisely as possible. Apply pressure

to secure in place, then move to complete the second

side. NOTE if may be helpful to insert something that

is narrower than pocket depth to insert behind the pocket

flange seam to assist with applying pressure from

each pocket until seams are secure.

9. Finish up the treat by inserting a chocolate square

(or equivalent) inside each pocket.

Tie a ribbon bow through hang hole as desired.
