I think, we shall take these matters into our own hands and made our very own gift box at home. This DIY project is easy, affordable, and you can customize your gift box any way you like. Don’t you think it looks gorgeous❓ You can make this exact same box in under an hour and with just your basic craft supplies. 🤭 Let’s get right to it, shall we❓❤️🔥
🎀Materials that you need
♦️2x cardboard squares (3’’ x 3’’)
♦️1x cardboard piece (3’’ x 1.5’’)
♦️Green craft paper (9.5’’ x 4’’)
♦️Red craft paper (8’’ x 2.5’’)
♦️Ornamented craft paper (10.5’’ x 2.5’’)
♦️Yellow craft paper (2.5’’ x 2.5’’)
♦️Craft glue
♦️Ribbon (20’’)
♦️Scissors
♦️Ruler
♦️Pencil
💠 How to make it:
1. You’ll need to figure out how big you want your gift box to be. Once you’ve got those measurements down, you can get started on making your personalized gift box.
2.Lay your cardboard pieces one by one over the green craft paper. The two larger pieces need to encompass the small piece. Ensure that there is at least 2 cm gap around the edges.
Also, make sure that there’s an equal gap between the cardboard pieces as well.
3. Grab your craft glue and apply it all the way around the edges.
4. Grab the left side of the paper and fold it inward to stick over the cardboard pieces.
Continue to apply glue and subsequently fold the edges inward over the cardboard. Make sure they sticking in place before move to next step.
5. Next up, grab a length of ribbon and carefully lay it down along the center of the cardboard. Glue it in place with the ends left free over the sides.
6. The next step is to measure and stick another piece of craft paper over the ribbon and cardboard.
7. Now, this step might get a little tricky, but it isn’t too hard to pull off. It all comes down to figuring out where the cardboard bits are placed. Use your fingers to find the ridges and then fold them.
8. Take another piece of paper and draw an outline to make an overlap. The horizontal and vertical flaps should measure 1cm each.
9. Divide this overlap into four equal parts by drawing vertical lines along its length at an interval of 6cm.
10. Using a pair of craft cutters or scissors, carefully cut the paper along the edges, as seen below. If you noticed, the flaps have a slanted edge, so clip away the extra bits to achieve the same effect.
11. Use a ruler to bend the overlaps along each vertical line.
12. Next, apply a layer of glue around the edges. Be careful to only use a smidgen of glue, or you’ll end up with soggy craft paper.
13. Carefully fold the paper inwards to create a 3D four-walled square structure. Allow it to completely dry before moving on to the next step in this project.
14. Grab your craft glue once more and apply a layer of adhesive on the bottom flaps. Stick the cube onto the surface of the first component of the project that you set aside earlier. Be careful not to press down too hard on the paper walls of the cube, lest you crumple it.
15. If you remember, you had initially divided this cube structure into four equal parts. Based on those measurements, you will need to cut out a small scrap of paper for the base of your gift box and stick it in place.
