Gift Box Making Crafts

A box folder may be used to hold drawings, pictures, or clippings, or presents. To make this simple box folder select a large sheet of tag or bristol board, such as card stock. Near the center of it draw a rectangle slightly larger than the clippings to be held in the box folder or file. Draw a second line all around the rectangle. Make the distance between the 2 rectangles the amount of thickness you wish for the file, as in figure 1. On 2 sides draw extensions measuring 2 or 3 inches in length (this length will depend on the size of the folder). Then extend the other 2 sides so that they will fold over to make the top. Cut as shown in figure 2. Decorate with pictures cut from magazines, or gift wrapping paper, or the Internet. Then fold on dotted lines. Cut slits as seen in figure 2. Run a ribbon or cord through these slits. Tie in place.

Make Gift Boxes with Covers

To construct a box with a cover use the diagram given above as the pattern. Be sure to fold on the dotted lines, cut on the heavy lines and put together as shown in figure 1. To make the box, notice that the rectangle x1, x2, and x3 are all the same width...the same goes for Y1 and Y2. As long as you know this...you can easily make boxes of any size.
