Are you looking for a fun and easy DIY project that also looks absolutely gorgeous? Then you’re definitely going to love this paper gift box! I love using pretty papers, ribbons, and little details to create something special. This box is perfect for wrapping a small gift, a sweet message, or some candy. With just a few materials and a little creativity, you can make your own unique box in no time. In this tutorial, I’ll show you step by step how to make it and how to decorate it.
Supplies
- Sturdy colored paper or cardstock
- Pencil
- Ruler
- Scissors
- Glue
- Decorations (stickers, flower punch, ribbon)
Step 1 – Drawing the Base
On a sheet of paper, draw a large square in the center with a curved flap on each side, as shown in the image, and use a ruler to ensure everything remains neatly symmetrical.
Step 2 – Cut out the shape
Cut out the entire shape along the outer lines. You will now have a flower-like shape with four rounded points.
Step 3 – Folding
Fold all the lines inward by first folding the center square and then folding the four flaps toward each other, so that a small box is formed that can be closed.
Step 4 – Making Decorations
Use a shape punch or scissors to cut out small flowers or other shapes from colored paper.
Step 5 – Decorate
Glue the decorations onto the flaps of the box. Let the glue dry for a moment.
Step 6 – Close the box
Fold the four flaps inward so that they overlap. Tie them together with a ribbon.
Get started and make your own version!
