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
