Upcycled Gift Box Tutorial
Upcycled Gift Box Tutorial
From the blogger: "Upgrade your gift giving and recycle your old gift boxes with one simple craft. If you are anything like me, when you receive a gift in a box, the gift box is often too nice to just throw away. This means I collect loads of "useful" boxes that just collect dust. When a box has a logo or brand name on it, it can make it seem unsuitable to use again. An old magazine and a little bit of papercutting can solve that problem, and you can create pretty gift boxes that cost you nothing at all."
Materials List
- Old gift box
- Old magazine
- Scissors or craft knife
- Paper glue
Instructions
-
Find and cut out a large flower image from your old magazine.
-
Glue the image onto the gift box, covering any logo or brand name.
-
Ta-da! You are ready to give a gift in a pretty gift box.
