Hi there! Looking for some last minute wrapping ideas? I wanted to find a fun way to “wrap” a gift card this morning and searched Pinterest for a cool 3D enveloppe. I found this cute little pillow gift box template and decided to try it out. I turned out so well!! I just love it!
Materials
- 1 sheet of cardstock or scrapbooking paper (8½ x 11″)
- template and printer
- scoring tool
- ruler
- glue
- optional: string or ribbon
I first decided to directly print the template from Homemade Gifts made easy on the back of a 8½ x 11″ sheet of scrapbooking paper. I thought it looked a little big, so then I shrunk it to 80% and printed it again. The size was much better for a gift card!
Next, I cut around the printed template, following the solid line. Then I placed my sheet on a magazine and used a scoring tool to carefully go over the dashed line. I used a ruler for the straight lines.
To finish, Simply glue the little flap down, and fold the ends down to “pop” out the box. I added a little string and tied it with a bow… Voilà! It just looks so cute!!
