How to Make Your Own Gift Boxes

Sjda
Gifts always look a lot nicer when they're in a pretty box, preferably tied with lots of ribbon. This is especially the case when your gift has an odd shape, or is made up of little things like chains, earrings etc.

You can buy gift boxes from the store of course, but why not try your hand at making your own? It's way cheaper and a great way to recycle odds and ends as well as old boxes!

To make your own gift box, you'll need an old box, scraps of colourful paper, cellophane tape, scissors and glue.

First, arrange the scraps of paper on each surface of the box and glue them into place.

Once a particular surface is completed, apply strips of cello-tape across the scraps of paper to ensure that the scraps of paper don't fall off.

The result will be a colourful box that you can pack gifts or other items in.
