For today’s “How To Tuesday” post design team member Natalie Dever shows us how to create a super cute gift box. Here are Natalie’s step by step instructions …
First, cut your patterned paper to 8 1/2 x 11.
Then position your paper lengthwise and score at 2, 5, 7 and 10 inches.
Next turn your paper and score at 2 inches. Cut the score lines at 2, 5, 7 and 10 inches up to the 2 inch score mark, and cut off smallest piece (this will be the bottom of your bag).
Use a bone folder or scor-pal tool and crease all score lines. Apply adhesive to small side flap, and adhere together.
Tuck in bottom flaps and adhere closed.
Decorate as desired.

I cut up some flourishes from Downtown Stickers and used them to make interlinked chain on a card.
Cute box – thank you for the clear directions! My favorite is to fussy cut some cute home made embellishments – like the little houses in treehouse.

Natalie, This is just so cute and your tutorial is so easy to follow. I’m one of those crafters that have to have the Sesame Version.
What cute boxes! Great for the holidays that are coming up!
really cute would be grate for halloween! could you convert instructions into CM as my scorepal is metric not imperial???
This is tooo cute!! and so simple!! Thanks for the great idea and directions!!

WHAT a great tutorial, Natalie! I love love love this box–must give it a go:)
As for a tip—I am new to scrapbooking….and the thing that helps me most is drawing up sketches in a sketchbook or notebook and thinking about the pics/themes that I want to do. Then I pair up a theme with a sketch. It really has helped me with the pages that I’ve made. Thanks for the chance to win:)
Super cute gift box! My biggest tip is to keep all of your supplies as organized as possible so that you always know what you have!
Natalie, this is adorable!
Nothing very creative, but I like to cut up the paper and use parts as embellishments.
what a great tut on how to make a treat box, fun fun! scrapbooking tip? dunn feel like you need to use the whole page, some times clean and simple is the way to go … plus, you get to keep more supplies for a next page 🙂
Thnx,

In my opinion, there can never be too many ways to make a box (out of 1 paper) with a scorepal ! Gonna try this today !
Oh..my tip…clean and simple, usually makes things quick and esy and less frustrating.
My tip is to use leftover stickers or rub-ons on plain cardstock to make a patterned paper-style background.
I would use the Twitterpated Sweet flowers (cut out & layered to make my own embellies. The Cahrm paper would make cute borders for pages or an accent stripe on a card. Thanks for the tut.
the perforated 3×3 cards would be perfect for making cute little valentine cards!
I like to white wash patterned papers to give them a totally new look
Hmmm, it is not unique at all, but my favorite thing about Pebbles collections is that piece of patterned paper that has journaling spots and sentiments. I love cutting those up for layouts and then using all the sentiments on a set of cards. Quick and EASY!
Great Post. I have subscribed to the RSS –
Looking forward to more content.

cute box! My pebbles tip is mixing in other embellies and paper. so easy to match pebbles colors, i can use my scraps up.
The candy dots look cute and add dimension as the center of the flowers in the patterned paper.
Oh this is awesome Natalie.. I love how easy it is and one piece of paper is always bonus. I love it!! Will have to make some of these up. THanks for the Tutorial.
Love the tutorial! Although not unique, one of my favorite things to with pebbles papers is to fussy cut images out to make embellishments.
oh my…I love the bright, cheery, fun Pebbles papers…I would use scallop circle punch to punch the paper and make flower embellishments. Not only look great on scrapbook, it will be totally awesome as embellishment on gift wrapping!
Great tut and LOVE the samples!!!
SuperCute Project! And because I’m known for being a hoarder of my scrap goodies….My tip for stretching my supply is to use kraft cardstock for the background of most layouts and use pretty Pebbles patterned paper as accents!
