How to create a Simple Gift Box from 6″ Kraft Paper

Hello Lovely Crafters! How are you? Do you ever go to make a project but your cardstock isn’t big enough? This is what happened to me with this project! I wanted to create a 2.5″ cube gift box, but with our Kraft paper, which is only 6″ square, so not big enough, so I decided to create this box out of 3 sheets of cardstock, 2 so that I could create a base that was big enough, and one for the lid.

Don’t be put off by the fact that this products is called Kraft paper as opposed to cardstock, it’s a very heavyweight paper (my personal opinion is that it feels like cardstock), and plenty strong enough to create this box.

I wanted this to be a simple box, so I’ve just used 2 of our gorgeous ribbons to decorate it.

Kraft 6″ X 6″ (15.2 X 15.2 Cm) Paper Pack [156325] £5.50

Real Red 3/8″ (1 Cm) Double-Stitched Satin Ribbon [151155] £7.00

Gold 3/8″ (1 Cm) Shimmer Ribbon [156470] £7.50
