Inspired by Teresa’s Pizza Box tutorial, I have created some boxes for small Christmas gifts.

The original tutorial is in inches. I have changed my measurements to centimetres. I have used the Limited Edition Kit.

Cut a piece of double sided patterned paper to measure 27.5cm x 15cm.

Score along the long side at 2.5cm, 12.5cm, 15cm & 25cm. Rotate the paper and score along the short side at 2.5cm & 12.5cm.

Your paper should look like this:

Cut the scorelines along the long edge as shown:

Once you have done this it is easy to fold it into a box and lid shape. Use doublesided tape on the flaps to adhere it all together. Use a punch to put a finger hole into the lid – this really helps with opening your box.

You’re all done! Now decorate it. This box is mine:

This box was made by my 10 year old daughter. She used Copic Markers to colour in the chipboard.

This is a box that I made a few months ago for a demonstration.

They are so, so easy! You won’t be able to stop at one. Experiment with different sizes and come back and show us if you make one, or more.
