Gift box tutorial

Good morning friends! Allison here and I’m sharing a tutorial on how I made this sweet little gift box for tutorial Thursday at La-La Land Crafts

Here’s the steps if you would like to follow along.

Supplies needed

glue

double sided tape

score board

chip board

cardstock

ribbon

For the Box

I started by cutting a strip of 130lb cardstock at 2 1/2 x 11

On my strip I scored from the edge at 1″, 3 1/2″, 6″ and 8 1/2″ I then rotated the strip and scored 1/4″ down the 11″ length. I cut small triangles along the score lines to help with folding the box. I decided to stencil the box to add some interest to the background. The box is ready to be folded and glued together now with glue or double sided tape.

The outer box

I cut 3 pieces of chipboard and glued down to a white sheet of cardstock that was approximately 4 x 9 1/4″ I ran my scoring tool beside and in between the chipboard pieces and cut 4 small triangles to make the edges fold in neater.

After folding in the edges of white cardstock and gluing down to the chipboard (I used glue and double sided tape) I glued down a ribbon and added another sheet of white cardstock to cover the ribbon and remaining chipboard that was showing. I then glued my box down and added a square of white cardstock to fit inside the box just slightly smaller then the opening (approx. 2 1/2″ x 2 1/2″)
