Free project — make a pretty box

Techniques

We’ve got just the thing for you this week — a wonderfully pretty box that will soon become your go-to wrap for delivering pressies. The template is perfect for all manner of gifts, and you can even reduce it or enlarge to suit your occasion.

Free project — make a pretty box

YOU WILL NEED:

Butterfly Box Template, Card, baby pink, bright pink, white, Bakers Twine, 3D foam pads, Tim Holtz Vintage Photo distress ink

As always, you can really make it your own with your own personal touches and embellishments. To print the template, simply click on it and it will automatically open in your browser — you can print it from here.

Use the template to die cut the box out of bright pink card, baby pink card and ‘X’ patterned paper. Cut the baby pink card so you just have the sides of the box, and trim to allow a border of bright pink card

Repeat with the ‘X’ patterned paper and trim as before, inking the sides. Cut a butterfly topper carefully by hand from 'X' patterned paper, ink and adhere to the box

Tear four strips of white card to fit the box sides and ink. Wrap bakers twine around the card

Hand cut four ‘X’s from pink diamond patterned paper and ink. Attach over the twine using foam dots. Attach all four to the box
