Step by Step Procedure For Making Paper Gift Box

Step 1 : Take a printed paper sheet. The size of the sheet depends on how big you want your box to be. The sheet should be printed on one side whereas the other side should have a white background.

Step 2 : On the white portion of the sheet, we need to draw the outlines of the box as shown in the video.

Step 3 : Usually, in printouts, two different lines appear on the outline. The regular lines should be kept to form a box whereas the dotted lines need to be eliminated. First, cut the dotted lines and remove it completely. With the remaining markings, we need to make the box.

Step 4 : Use a cutter to slowly run along the markings of the sheet. It provides ease in folding the sheets.

Step 5 : Now mark 1.5cm distance in all four corners of the sheet. Cut these markings as well. It serves as a fix for the edges.

Step 6 : To place the ribbon, again draw 1.5cm markings across the sheet. With the help of a ruler, measure and find out the centre of the sheet. Draw approximately 10 uniform markings. Use a cutter to cut these markings.

Step 7 : Now use a satin ribbon and carefully insert it into the sheet through these cuts. Finally, make the box and tie the ribbon in a bow shape.

Step 8 : Decorate the box to give it a unique look. Use a glue gun to fix the stones on the box. Use decorative pearl strands on the ribbon. You can place a big pearl at the centre to complete the look. Your box is now ready to use.

This box can serve as a perfect gifting item. Use your creativity while decorating the box. It is both a multi-purpose and eco-friendly box.
