MIXED UP CRAFT

New Slide & Lock Gift Boxes

Hi everyone, today’s tutorial kicks starts my Christmas Series 2022!

I love to make unusual gift boxes and bags, so when my mum showed me this washing tablet box, I knew I had to turn it into a gift box.

It has a really clever opening & closure which was easy to re-create.

I’ve kept the size the same as the original, but I plan on making a smaller size.
