Recycled gift box

I made this for a friend this morning. After digging in my wardrobe box collection !!








 Disassemble the box, use double sided tape to adhere your paper. Make sure to apply the tap where the joins fold as well to stop the paper from bubbling up and not sitting flat. Keep the tape as close to the edges as you can so they wont lift once the box is assembled.Trim around the paper with a scarp craft knife.

I lined the inside also with a contrasting paper.


Once the box is assembled, start playing with it. I used one of my copic designed 3d teddies, peelcraft and foam dots were used to elevate some of the pieces and give it dimension.
The peelcraft hearts and bow were placed on to the contrasting papers and cut out before adding them.


I adore the teeny holographic peelcraft circles. They shine like little diamonds :)


So there you go. A simple little box, recycled that will hopefully be kept as a little treasure for years to come. This one was filled with hand made jewelery for a friends sister.
