Day 7
Boxes
Why is it that all year long, I fill the recycling with all kinds of boxes but come December
there isn’t a box to be found?
Here is a supper easy way to make and decorate a box that is perfect for those smaller
gifts.
For the 3” box (middle size) you will need:
9”x9” printed Cardstock (bottom of box)
5”x5” printed cardstock (box lid)
Ribbon
Red Tacky Tape
Scor-pal or paper trimmer with a score blade.

Instructions:
1. Score the bottom of the box at 3” and 6” on the top and side.
2. Cut the sides.
3. Add Red Tacky Tape to sides and fold.
4. Score the top of the box at 1” and 4” on the top and side.
5. Cut the sides
6. Add Red Tacky tape to sides and fold.

To make the small box
6”x6” cardstock, scored at 2” and 4” for the bottom
4 x 4 cardstock, scored at 1” and 3” for the lid
To make the large box
12 x 12 Cardstock, scored at 4” and 8” for the bottom
6 x 6 cardstock, scored at 1” and 5” for the lid
Follow the rest of the instructions.
You can either cut the box out of printed cardstock or out from a solid color and then add
squares or printed paper to each side.
Add a tag and some ribbon and you have the cutest little box, perfect of that special, one of
a kind gift.
I used Bella Blvd, Christmas wishes paper. The tags were made using the Journaling
stickers from the same line. Easy peasy!!!
