Pillow Boxes tutorial for Unstampabelles

This is my second month of designing for Unstampabelles. The challenge this month is to CREATE A BOX and show how you made it.

The other Designers have come up with a wide variety of wonderful boxes for  you to be inspired by. Perhaps you will want to create something completely different but do check out their work. Christmas is just around the corner and what better way to add value to a gift than to create your own gift box.

With that in mind I have a tutorial for you on my box, a pillow box. You can give a gift of jewelry, lollies or any small present inside these easy to make, customisable gift boxes.

Here is the final picture. I made one from kraft paper and one from patterned paper.

PRINTABLE TEMPLATE

 

PILLOW BOX

MATERIALS:

•  kraft paper (or other cardstock or patterned paper) to print on

• scissors

• ruler

• embossing tool stylus

• 1″ circle punch

• strong double sided adhesive tape  

OPTIONAL:

• labels, stickers, or stamps to decorate

• ribbon, raffia, etc.

Print template on to cardstock.

Score along dotted lines.

Fold.

Use your circle punch on two opposing ends on the same side. Only use half of the punch so it makes a semi circle.

Decorate.

Apply double sided tape along edge to join together.

Continue decorating as desired.

Enclose present within, fold and there you have your pillow box.
