Cute Gift Boxes and Candle holder



Hello, everyone! Heena here. I'm so delighted to share with you my first post as the design team member.

         As you all know Papericious has released some amazing die cut boxes which are pre-scored and taped to make it easier for you to make treat boxes for your loved ones. It is great for making gift boxes in bulk and also great for lazy crafters :p as you don't have to go through the hassles of cutting, scoring and taping all you have to do is fold, stick and decorate. 

        So today I'm sharing these cute and easy gift boxes I made using the die cut boxes. 




                                                                   Cake Pie Box

I painted this box with the chalk paint in shade villa plum and used a pattern paper from the back to basics paper pack. On the sides, I taped the edges and applied some modelling paste and messed it a little to make it look like the frosting between the cake layers.




                                                                           Popcorn Box

I have created a candle holder using the popcorn box. For that, I freehanded some geometric shapes on the wrong side and fussy cut it using a pen knife (Tip: use a new blade, draw shapes that are easier to cut and avoid drawing small shapes) I'm not a fan of fussy cutting but I was able to make smooth cuts in just one stroke even though the material is thick and hence started enjoying the process. Then stick your pattern paper outside and flip it and start cutting through the cuts. I painted the insides with chalk paint in shade Bracket green. Place a fake tea light candle inside.


                                                Square favour box
To paint this box I mixed some black chalk and white gesso to create a grey shade and used a pattern paper from the Azelian paper pack. I have tied the box with ivory jute cord. 

 I hope you liked my creation, Thank you for visiting!
