This morning I put together little Valentine's boxes - they turned out so cute, if I do say so myself. :) I'm going to fill the little boxes with candy and give them to the ladies at my Bible study.

Supplies:

Card stock or other heavy paper
Ribbon
Hole punch
Scissors
Printer


Directions:

1. On my plain white card stock paper, I printed the free Pink Whirl Scrapbook paper from Whirl Design Scrapbook Paper.

2. I flipped the card stock over and on that back, I printed the pattern from Martha Stewart's Ribbon Holly Gift Boxes. (I enlarged the pattern so that it fully fit an 8.5 x 11 piece of card stock, but you could make it to whatever size you'd like.)

3. Follow the directions for putting together the Ribbon Holly Gift Boxes, securing with your ribbon. (I added a step and secured the sides of the box with a little tape, but you could also use glue if you wanted - I just liked it feeling more secure.)

View my sorry-looking photo of the boxes here. :)

Those look great! I think they'd be great for giving little sachets of bath salts or gift cards. I can see so many uses for those. bunnylove

You did a beautiful job! Is it hard to fold along the curved lines?

Nope, not at all. I used my thumbnail to start the crease in the middle of the curved line and followed it down each side. I did use a ruler on the straight lines just to have clean lines there.
