Looking for a creative way to make gift-giving extra special? I’m excited to share step-by-step how to create the most adorable boxes!
These little beauties are crafted using just 8-1/2″ x 11″ cardstock and some designer series paper (DSP), and they measure 4-1/2″ x 2″ x 2-1/2″ when finished. They’re the perfect size for holiday treats or any small gift throughout the year.
I’ve been having so much fun designing these boxes and trying out different combinations. One features rich Cherry Cobbler cardstock paired with Regals Distressed Patterns DSP, tied up sweetly with a touch of Gold Twisted Thread for a classic holiday look.
Another was created with Granny Apple Green cardstock and A Little Bit Festive Mix & Match Specialty DSP, finished off with the soft texture of White 3/8″ Frayed Grosgrain Ribbon.
And my absolute favorite has to be the one made with Blackberry Bliss cardstock, dressed up with the Flowering Zinnias DSP and tied with the elegant Blackberry Bliss & Gold 1/2″ Textured Ribbon.
Each of these boxes has its own unique charm, and you can see in my video just how easy it is to create them. Here is the video from my YouTube channel – please be sure to give the video a thumbs up and subscribe to my channel – it’s free and your support is so very appreciated:
