Tutorial Thursday - Cute Gift Box

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"
Score Board
Folding Bone
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
