Easiest Gift Box Ever!

Ready to dive into a fun crafting project? Join Lou in this step-by-step guide to making a fantastic gift box using our free template, scroll down to find it!

Getting Started: Materials and Template To begin, make sure you have the gift box template on hand. Lou uses the hunky-dory adorable scorable cardstock, which has a smooth finish and a sturdy 350 GSM weight.

Assembling Your Gift Box

Start by folding along the score lines that are marked on the cardstock. These lines will serve as your guides for creating the box's structure. The adorable scorable cardstock ensures clean folds without any creasing or cracking.
Identify the base and lid sections of your box. The base is formed by the square or cross-shaped area, while the remaining section becomes the lid. Identifying the lid and base will help you in the assembly process.
Begin by gluing the tabs on the sides of the box together. You can use a tape runner, wet glue, or even a hot glue gun for a secure hold. Work your way around the box, attaching one tab at a time.
Once all the sides are securely attached, fold in the side pieces on the lid section. This will prevent any gaps when you tuck the lid in.
With the sides and lid assembled, your gift box is now complete! How easy was that?!

Adding Embellishments

Now for the fun bit! Personalise your gift box with decorative elements. Consider using patterned paper or cardstock to cover the sides or edges of the box.
You can attach a handle to the lid for easy opening. A wooden spool or any other small embellishment will serve as a perfect handle. Secure it in place with hot glue or your adhesive of choice.
Use paper florals or other embellishments to adorn the lid.

Finishing Touches There you have it! Your gift box is perfect for gifting sweets, small treasures, or even using as storage for craft supplies! Whether you create a single box for a super cute gift or make a collection to organise your crafting materials, this template offers endless creative possibilities.

Happy crafting!
