Happy Monday and welcome to another edition of Make it Hybrid Monday! With spring here and wedding season right around the corner, I’ve been looking for simple ways to create party favors using my digital supply and found an easy tutorial on one of my favorite stamping sites. Today, I’ll be showing you how to make another gift box that is versatile enough for those spring activities and gifts that you want to package up using just one sheet of patterned paper.

For this project, you will need the following in addition to the requisite scissors, glue, ruler and bone folder:
* 8.5 x 11 printed patterned paper on cardstock or photo paper
* Decorative scissors or border punch
* Single hole punch
* Ribbon

To start, score your patterned paper at 2, 5, 7, and 10 inches lengthwise using your bone folder and ruler. Then, turn your patterned paper and score your paper at 2 and 7 inches.

Once all of the pieces have been scored, cut a 1 inch slit at 4 score marks of the long side and remove all but one 2×3 rectangle on the long side of the patterned paper which will become your box flap.

Using decorative scissors or a border punch, create an edge for your box flap

Using a bone folder, sharply crease all scored lines to shape box towards the unprinted side of the paper. Adhere the two sides of the box together.

Fold in the bottom flaps of the box beginning with the side flaps. Apply adhesive on one of the larger flaps and fold over the remaining flap.

Your box is almost done! Stand your box up and hold down with the flap folded over and punch two holes. String your ribbon through the holes to close the box.

Decorate as you would like. I used Trixie Scraps’ Rejuvenation kit and added some additional ribbon and glitter to decorate the box.

Hope that you enjoyed this week’s project and look forward to seeing what you create with Trixie Scraps products!
