Easy Display Gift Box

Hi everyone, sorry for my delay in posting today, I decided to do another tutorial for this box and then had a day of catching up on lots of other things that needed doing.

Lots you asked for me to make this gift box after I shared my pretty Tea-Cup & Saucer, so today I’m sharing these beautiful Display Gift Boxes.

I wanted something that was going to show off the beautiful tea-cups so opted for this acetate box.

I think this finishes off everything perfectly and really makes this a wonderful handmade gift.

You can see whatever you put inside the box really well with the 4 large windows.

The first tutorial I made is great and works well but I just kept thinking that there must be an even better way to make it. The acetate is very strong and has a mind of its own and can be tricky to work with. With this in mind, I decided to do another tutorial which I think works much better, and easier for everyone.

I suggest you watch both tutorials and decide which one you think will work best for you.

Below you will find the measurements for the easier version.

4 pieces of 6″ x 5.1/2 acetate. I used the Papermania 12 x 12 acetate. Available from Mountain Ash Crafts.

4 pieces of 1″ x 6″ pattern paper for the corner sides of the gift box.

Score along the 1″ side at 1/2″

1 piece of 9.5/8 x 9.5/8 pattern paper for the lid.

Score 1″ & 2″ then pull your card out very slightly and score at 7.3/4 & 8.3/4

1 piece of 7.1/2 x 7.1/2 pattern paper for the base.

Score along each side at 1″

I used the Craft Sensations “Light Textures” from The Range and Sweet Garden Roses paper pack from The Works UK.

The red tape I use is from Every Crafts A Pound 23 rolls for 10 pound.

Ribbon to decorate the box.
