Step 1: Prepare the box template

 

1).Determine the size of the gift box you want and draw a rectangle on the cardstock or thick paper using a ruler.

3).Cut out the template and fold along the lines to create the box shape.

 

Step 2: Fold and assemble the box

 

1).With the blank side facing up, fold along the lines to create crisp edges. Use a ruler to make the folds neat.

 

2).Apply glue or double-sided tape on the flaps and secure the sides of the box, overlapping the flaps where necessary. Press firmly to ensure they stick together.

 

Step 3: Decorate the box

 

1).Choose decorative paper or wrapping paper to cover the outside of the box.

 

2).Cut a piece of paper larger than the box template.

 

3).Apply glue or double-sided tape on the blank side of the paper and carefully wrap it around the box, smoothing out any wrinkles or bubbles.

 

4).Trim any excess paper and fold the edges neatly.

 

Step 4: Add finishing touches

 

You can embellish the box further by adding ribbons, bows, or other decorative elements. Use glue or tape to attach them securely.
