Hello everyone! This is NIKKITA and I am back with a new post for PAPERICIOUS blog.

For today's post I wanted to make something fun and quick and yet pretty, so I made some cute boxes which are perfect to be used in this festive season, you can use these cute boxes for gifting perfumes, chocolates, tea-light candles or anything as you like it.

Today I am using the latest release Fleur Fun paper pack and some gorgeous Chippis and Chalk Paints.

GIFT BOX

Here I am with the step by step instructions :

STEP 1
For the base, take a piece of 7 inches by 12 inches cardstock and score on the long side at 3", 6", 9" then turn the cardstock and on 7 inches side & score at 6" as shown in the picture above.

STEP 2
Take a piece of 1 inch by 6 inch cardstock and score at 1/2" to make hinge for the base.

STEP 3

Make a slit on the 1 inch width base and score and tape the 1 inch hinge as shown above.

STEP 4
For the lid of the box, take 5.25 X 5.25 inch cardstock and score at 1 inch on all four sides. Score and trim the 1 inch cubes as shown and then tape the corners.

The box is ready and now its time to decorate the box.

Used the Fleur Fun paper pack and the gorgeous Scalable Chippi and the Butterfly Chippi. I have used Chalk Paints - Pearl Pink and Bracket Green.

For this box the length is 4.5 inches and is made with same measurements as above. You can customize the length and breadth as per your choice its easy to make and quick.
