Get the Look {Printable Antique Butter Box}

I picked up a beautifully aged antique butter box a few weeks ago and have created a printable of it, so you can make your own.  I love finding things like this that were meant to be disposed of (and usually were).  Generally, if you can find them, it's because the were unused stock, left in an old business.

The words "creamery butter" always reminds me of the 2001 movie, "Kate and Leopold", when Leopold (Hugh Jackman), a duke from the 1800's, ends up in modern times, and makes a commercial for "fresh creamery butter" for Kate's (Meg Ryan) advertising firm.  He finally tastes the "creamery butter" and thinks it tastes horrible, and nothing like the fresh butter he's used to.   If you've never seen the movie, put it on your "must watch" list.  It's cute and fun (and I love the pocket watch in the logo!).

My original box is extremely fragile and is missing one of the side flaps, so I did a little digital copying and pasting to fix it.

Here's the fixed version.

I resized the image to fit on a regular 8-1/2 x 11 piece of  paper, so you won't have a problem printing it on your printer, but yours will be a little smaller than the original 1 lb. box...I doubt anyone will know, except you and I.

Just print the image above out on card stock paper, cut along the outside lines, then cut on the "cut" lines and make folds on the rest of the lines.  The curved side flap keeps it all together when you fold it up - no tape needed, although you might want to put a dab of glue to keep the "lip" on the lid down.

I thought it would be fun to create another variation, so I used this image that I shared way back in August of 2011, removed the other typography, and digitally added it to the box.

So here's another option for you.  Click HERE for the printable version.

I think these would make cute little gift boxes, as well as kitchen decor.
I hope you enjoy them!
