Gift box tutorial

I saw this cute little giftbox on Lizzie Anne Designs, and had to make one myself.

I made a step by step tutorial of it.

Cut a piece of cardstock 4 1/2"x 4 1/2"

Score at 1"around all the edges of the cardstock. Than score the diagnal lines.

Fold all the scored lines, and glue the pointy folded pieces or use sticky strip glue.

The bottom of the box is finished now.

Cut your backgroundpaper to 5 1/2" x 11".

Add sticky strip tape on the bottom and on 1 side of the backgroundpaper.

Peel off the bottomstrip. Lay your box along the bottom of the backgroundpaper, so it is even along the bottom. I start my background about half way on the box so the seam will be at the back of the box at the end.

When you are almost at the end peal off the side sticky tape and glue this together.

Now you need a strip of cardstock 11"x 2". If you have one use a split punch to make a scalloped edge. I don't have one, so I used a die-cut from Bazzill to make the edge. After finishing the strip I did cut off 1/2"to make it a bit thinner.Glue it around the box.

Make 2 tabs and glue them on top of the box. Pull the ribbon through and tie it.

Add you decorations and your box is finished.

I hope you'll like this tutorial, and are going to create your own one.

Please leave a comment overhere when you've finished yours. I will stop by and have a look at your great design.

I'm looking forward to see your designs.

Thanks for stopping by.
