Pillow Gift Box
Contents: White & Red Card - Ribbon
Complexity (1-10): 5
Glue: Glue Stick, PVA, or Hot Glue would be appropriate for this project
​
Instructions
First, Fold along all the score lines on the white card cut-out. Glue the tab (that runs along the long edge) and glue the 2 ends together (with the tab inside) to create a tube.
​
​
​
​
​
​
​
Allow the glut to fully dry before moving on to the next step, you may need to put something heavy on top to help it stay stuck together.
​
​
Glue the middle length of ribbon (17cm), down the middle of the front of the gift box. The front of the gift box has rounded edges (the little finger cutouts are on the back side). And trim the ribbon to be flush with the rounded edges.
​
​
​
​
​
​
​
Next, lay the longest ribbon (28cm) along the ribbon you just glued down (no glue on this one), and center it. Then, glue down the shortest ribbon (10cm) across both other ribbons to form a cross. Wrap the ends of the shortest ribbon around the gift box to hide the ends.
​
​
​
​
​
​
​
​
​
Then, use the longest ribbon (that's not glued down) to tie a knot and bow around the shortest ribbon (that IS glued down). This will create a nice 'wrapped-up with a bow' effect on your gift box.

​
We have provided a gift tag for you to add to the gift box, you can add a person's name, a drawing, or anything you like. The tag has a hole at the end with a slit, simply slip the ribbon at the base of your bow into the tag hole through the slit.
​
​
​

​
​
​
Finally, to close your gift box, simply fold the ends in on one side (starting with the back side flap first), and fill with your present before closing the second side.

Your Pillow Gift Box is now ready to be filled and placed under your tree or given away.
