Make your own Cardboard Gift Boxes (no template needed!)

This is such a cute project to make! I recently created these easy little DIY cardboard boxes for an Advent Calendar project. They turned out great, and were quite straightforward to make, with simple supplies.

I spent a lot of time and thought researching a method that was simple and quick, and that didn’t involve printing templates.

For this project, I used an A4 piece of card, and the width of a ruler to determine the box dimensions. You can tailor the size of the box depending on the size paper you use. And the height of the box can be varied, depending on what size ruler you use. Have a play around until you find one that suits.

I used:

• A4 Card

• a ruler

• double sided tape

• a craft knife

• scissors

The video below is the best way to learn:

I’ve also included some step-by-step instructions below, for easy referral:

I hope you enjoy making this project! I’m sure you will find lots of uses throughout the year for these gift boxes. Whether it’s for storage or gifts, isn’t it rewarding to make something from scratch?

Enjoy!
