Gift Box with Lid


Gift Box with Lid

To create a gift box for many of your creations is a simple but effective way to put that extra personal touch to your gifts.

I made my first gift box for one of my 3D frames .... I then used the same template but changed the dimensions for other gifts, it may take time to get it decorated but the actual box itself is simple.

Here is a step by step guide:

Tools:
  • Card to fit box template size
  • Scissors
  • Pencil
  • Ruler
  • Glue
1. Measure and pencil your template onto the back of your preferred card choice

2. Cut out the template

3. Slightly score each edge with your scissors (ensuring you score the right side so the flaps bend in the right direction)

4. Bend scored edges inwards and glue tabs to each section
For the lid, follow the above again but make the base shape slightly bigger (maybe 3mm) and side panels slightly smaller to help it fit correctly.
Decorate to you taste or use some of my examples which will follow in another post.
