How to Make a Box
Instructions
-
The steps are very easy. The printable gift box are available in 8 color options (you receive when you sign-up at the end of the post) and 2 paper size options. You could either get each box printed on a single A3 (11.7 inch x 16.5 inch) sheet of paper or if you go for A4 size paper- each box is divided into two parts and the consecutive pages need to be printed to complete a single box.
-
Cut along the solid lines and crease along the dashed lines. The line guides leave an extremely thin visible division at the folded edges. The picture above is of the A4 size print-outs.
-
In the A4 sized print-outs you will require to use glue at two joints. Each vertical tab needs to be glued to the consecutive square. If you see the picture above you will clearly understand which tabs need to be glued together. I used 220 gsm gloss paper for the gift boxes and used Fevicol (mod-podge) to stick them together. You could even use paper-double-sided tape.
-
The A3 print-out of the printable gift box only requires one tab to be glued. I kept both top and bottom sides un-stuck for re-usability purpose. You could stick the bottom side tab too, especially if you have a heavy weight product in the gift box.
-
Place your gift inside and use some paper confetti for the filling. If you maintain a color story- these gift boxes make for very pretty gifting solutions. If it’s a bridal shower- place lipsticks and jewellery inside as bridesmaid favors.
