Are you looking for a unique way to package a gift? Why not try making a gift box out of scrapbook paper? It's a fun and creative way to add a personal touch to your gift-giving.
To make a gift box out of scrapbook paper, you'll need the following materials:
Scrapbook paper
Scissors or a paper trimmer
Ruler
Pencil
Glue or double-sided tape
Once you have your materials, follow these steps:
Cut your scrapbook paper to size. You'll need a piece of paper that is twice as long as the length of your gift and wide enough to wrap around the gift with a little extra room.
Use a ruler to mark the halfway point on your paper.
Fold your paper in half at the halfway point and crease it well.
Unfold your paper and fold both sides of the paper in to meet at the halfway crease. Crease these folds well.
Open up the paper again and fold the corners of the paper in to the crease lines you just made. This will create two triangles on each end of the paper.
Fold the top and bottom edges of the paper in to meet at the center crease. Crease these folds well.
Fold the triangles you made in step five up and over the top and bottom edges of the paper. Apply glue or double-sided tape to the triangles and press them down firmly.
Fold the sides of the paper in to meet at the center crease and glue or tape them down.
Once the glue or tape is dry, your gift box is ready to use!
Making a gift box out of scrapbook paper is a great way to add a personal touch to your gift-giving. With a little creativity and some basic supplies, you can create a unique and beautiful gift box that your recipient is sure to love.
