12 x 12 Paper GiftBox

Do you have tons of 12 x 12 paper???I do... :P And if you do, use it to make a gift boxes. Share this idea with friends and family for an inexpensive and adorable gift box.














My good friend made this for me and I thought it was adorable. I've kept it and thought I'd share it with you. X-mas is expensive enough as it is, and then buying little containers to put goodies or anything in can make it even more expensive. So whip out your 12 x 12 paper and make one of these. My friend did a white piece of paper then cut 10, 4 inch squares, and then took 8, 4 inch squares and cut them in 1/2 to create the triangles. You will use your paper cutter just for the little groove to get scour your paper so it will bend at a straight line. Use a scourer or anything that will put a crease in your paper but not cut through it. Measure 4 inches in from edge, scour, 4 inches from there, scour, turn paper one turn and do again same thing again. You will create a + kind of pattern in the middle of your paper. Flip paper over to other side. Look at the 4 corners boxes. You will scour right through the middle of those 4 squares to create a triangle. Hole punch the corners and they will fold in towards the middle. Put ribbon through the hole punches to cinch the box together. Add shredded paper or tissue paper, and your goodies and you are set. I hope this helps you with little gift boxes to give for all kinds of holidays and birthdays. Questions just email me. jaidiebugboutique@yahoo.com
