Hey crafty friends, Sandra here with you today showing how to make a really cool gift box that is perfect for christmas!
Materials needed:
1 sheet of cardstock in 10 1/2" x 7"
Glue
Scissors
Crop A Dile or something similar
Ribbon
Embellishments like Tassle, Ribbon Bow ...
Score on the long side of your cardstock at 1" / 2 1/2" / 3 1/2" / 5" / 6" / 7 1/2" / 8 1/2" / 10"
Score on the short side at 1" / 3" / 4" / 6"
Mark the middle of all 8 large rectangles
Score diagonal lines from the middle of the rectangles to the bottom edges like shown in the pic
Fold all straight lines
Turn paper and fold the diagonal lines
Cut off the marked paper
It should look like this
Cut 8 pieces in 1 3/4 x 3/4 from Design Paper and glue them onto the cardstock
Draw the shown sketch to the back of your Design Paper and cut 8 triangles
Glue the triangles onto your cardstock
Cut 4 pieces in 1 1/4" x 3/4" from Design Paper and glue them down
Cut 4 pieces in 3/4" x 3/4" from Design Paper and also glue them to the box base
Put glue onto the flap of your box and close it
Now it is time to close the bottom of your box
Just follow the steps above
Make a stencil from paper with the size 1" x 1"
mark the middle and punch a small hole in it
Use this stencil to punch evenly holes in the 4 remaining closure flaps of your box
Cut a piece with 4" from your ribbon, fold in half and pull through one of the 4 flaps
Make a knot like shown, this will be the lowest flap
Pull the ribbon through the opposite flap of your box
Repeat these steps for the 2 remaining flaps
After that your box is closed
This is what your box will look like after following all the previous steps
Now it is your turn to decorate your box like you want. Maybe you want to add a tassle or ribbon bow, it is totally up to you!
I hope you had fun crafting and I would love to see on FB or IG what you made!
Hugs, Sandra
