I’ve made similar style boxes before but this is different and that huge bow just gives it that very special touch.

To make these boxes you will need…

2 pieces of 8.1/4 x 11

Score along the 8.1/4 side at 4 & 8

Score along the 11′ side at 2, 4 & 7

Check out the video tutorial below to see the rest of the scoring.

Rotate the card back onto the 8.1/4 side with the 1/4 tab on the left-hand side and score at 1.1/4, 3.1/4, 5.1/4 & 7.1/4 down to the first score line.

4 pieces of 2.3/4 x 3.3/4 patterned paper to decorate.

2 die cut 3′ circles stuck together for the base of the bow.

29 pieces of 1 x 3 patterned paper to make the bow.

A label die or punch and a sentiment of your choice.

The fabulous papers I used are by Craft Smith, I have only recently found this company and I’m in love with their style and design. The quality of the paper is amazing and the patterns are fresh and modern.

Check out my full tutorial below to see how I made these gift boxes.

This is a great size box measuring 4 x 4 and looks perfect sat under the Christmas tree!

Hope you like this first Christmas project from me and I hope you enjoy the rest of my Christmas Workshop 2017.

Enjoy
