Hello everyone! It’s Monique on the blog today sharing a little last minute Christmas DIY project with you! How are enjoying December so far? I love every minute of it, but sometimes I wish it would be a little less hectic. It doesn’t matter how many lists I make, I always end up with last minute things, like buying just a few more presents or wrapping those last gifts. So for those of you who aren’t done gift wrapping just yet, here’re a couple of bright and colorful gift boxes using Pebbles’ fabulous Holly Jolly collection and the Pillow Box Punch Board from We R Memory Keepers.
So here’s what you do, gather your supplies: patterned papers for the boxes and something to decorate your boxes like die-cuts, tags, twine, stickers & ribbon. To create the boxes in the photo you have to cut your papers in the following sizes: 4″x 6″, 6″x 6″, 8″x 6″and 10″x 6″:
Following the instructions on the punch board the four papers look like this in no time at all:
Fold the papers and use double sided tape to glue the long/straight side of the box closed:
And now comes the fun part: decorating the boxes!
I totally adore the cute die-cuts in this collection: the elf, santa, the deer, the gingerbread cookie … I just love them all!
And I think it’s fabulous that a whole packet with tags and banners is included in this collection! They are just perfect for those gift boxes!
This is it! Thank you so much for stopping by today! Wishing you a wonderful Christmas!
