Need an adorable gift box in a hurry? The Square Pillow Box is your answer. This 5-15/16″ x 4-5/8″ box is perfect for all those small gifts and sweet treats you’ll be giving this holiday season. You can cut it from different paper for any time of year. It would be great cut from Happy Haunting Designer Series Paper for Halloween treats!
Today I’ve made it with Home For Christmas DSP. I love the festive stripes in Real Red and Very Vanilla. I cut a small window in one side and covered it with Vellum Card Stock so the recipient can get just a sneak peek of what’s inside.
I used the same window die to cut the tag from Very Vanilla CS. I punched a hole with the 1/8″ Circle Punch to attach it to the box. The sentiment is from the A Little Something stamp set. I used the DSP piece cut from the window to cut the candy cane, and glued it onto the tag.
BUNDLE!!! You can buy the Pillow Box Thinlits Dies and A Little Something stamp set together in a bundle to save 15%! I looooooove bundles!
I tied some Real Red Pompom Trim around the box. Then I tied on pieces of Gold and Silver Cording Trim and Gold and Silver Metallic Thread, using one piece to tie on the tag.
The box is super easy to assemble. Cut two pieces with the box die. Fold in the flap on each one and apply Tear & Tape along the flap. Flip one piece over onto the other one and stick together. Fold in the ends of the box and you’re done.
TIP: If you want a window or anything else cut in the side of the box, be sure to do that before you assemble the box. Also, be sure to cover the window from the inside before assembling.
Here’s what I used:
You can make this plus 11 different cards in my Christmas Bundle Up Class. I’m hosting one this Saturday, September 26, at 12:30. You’ll use 12 of the new Christmas Bundles. Bring your scissors and adhesive and I provide everything else. All for only $30! R.S.V.P. by Friday so I’ll have enough projects prepared.
Adorable. This is the perfect presentation for a small gift, or even a gift card. I love it.
