Handmade Gift Bag in World of Good, Snowflake Splendour and Trimming the Town

I've got a 3D project today and its a gift bag - I've made quite a few in different sizes

I've made a tutorial showing you how I made them

Firstly decide on the width of your box, multiply by 4 and add half.  This is the width of your paper.  So for instance, if you wish the width of your box to be 2½" the width of your paper needs to be 10½" (2½ x 4 + ½)

Then decide on the height of your box and add the width.  So if you want the height of your box to  be 5", add 2½" and this is the length of your paper.  So in this case the length of your paper is 7½"

Score the long side at each width, so for instance, at 2½",, 5", 7½" and 10".  This leaves a ½" tab at the end.  

On the short side score at the length of the paper less the width of the box but you must watch the direction of the paper.  The top of the paper will be on the left.  

Follow all the directions in the video.

The box I made in the video is 2" wide and 3½" tall.  So my paper was 8½" wide and 5½" long.  The long side is scored at 2", 4", 6" and 8" and the short side is scored at the bottom of the paper at 3½".

Here are some other boxes I made

These are really easy to make and you can make lots up in a short space of time.

I hope you like these and give them a go - I'd love to see what you come up with.

See you soon
