Honey Bee Gift Box

Today’s project is a gift box sized to fit a C.O. Bigelow Rose Salve tin featuring the Honey Bee bundle!

Here’s a closer look at the box:

Here’s what the inside of the box looks like, including a sweet sentiment:

And here’s how the flaps in the lid tuck into the box for a secure fit:

If you joined me for my Facebook Live where I originally demonstrated this project, you may notice a slight difference with the closure! I had originally designed the box for the top of the box to fit OVER the bottom of the box, but I wasn’t happy with how the sides stuck out, so I pulled out my Paper Snips and changed the design for the better! I hope you agree!

Without further ado, here’s my video tutorial:

And here’s the template for your reference:

Thank you so much for stopping by today! I’m going to be redesigning my blog over the weekend, so bear with me if things look a little wonky around here! I hope you have a wonderful & blessed weekend!

  2. First let me say I love your projects and this box is so adorable! I want to make them for the mothers at my church. I do not want to put candy inside because some are diabetic so I like the idea of what you have done. However, our B&BW doesn’t carry them nor can I find it on their on-line store. I’ll search Amazon.

  3. Thanks Julie this is so easy and can be used for a lot of different things. Thanks again. I’m going to order a couple of things and then until I get moved and settled in MI I probably won’t order again until then. Thanks so much
