Step 1 Print Out Template
Making these gift boxes is an easy craft project.
Make sure you download and print out the template. You can find the free
template at https://stylenrichdiy.com/template-diy-paper-gift-box-craft/. Make sure you print the template out on size A4
colored paper. Carefully cut out the template by cutting around the outside
lines of the box.
Step 2 Cut Out the Template
You will need to fold the sides of the box to
create its shape. To make the sides easier to fold, take your cutter and run it
along the lines. It's important that you avoid cutting these lines.
Step 3: Paste the Edges
To put the box together, add glue to the box's
edges and stick them together. Cut a small section near the upper part of the
box to secure the upper flap. Make sure the box is glued together, and the glue
is dry before continuing.
Step 4: Paste the Printed Pattern on the Box
Grab your printed paper and trace the hexagon on
one side of the box. The hexagon should measure 5x5 cm. Cut out the hexagon
shape and paste it on the box's opening flap. Cut a 1.5 cm strip of the printed
paper. This strip needs to be 1.5 cm in length. Paste the strip around sides of
the box.
Step 5: Decorate the Box
To give your candy box a completed look, you can
add decorative elements to the top and sides. Pearls are one type of
embellishment you can add to the top of the box. The little embellishments add
a nice touch to the box. You have now made a gift box that's ready for gifting.
This DIY gift box is a cute gift. They are easy
to make and you can create several in an afternoon. They are the ideal party
