Today’s project is a gift box featuring the Snowflake Wishes Bundle that I’m calling a Geometric No-Glue Gift Box!
My inspiration for the box came from Ann Melvin and Angelika Schmitz. I’ve “pixiefied” the measurements to fit a gift card! Here’s another look:
Here’s what the box looks like from the side:
So cool! I’ve seen this style of box referred to as a “house box” and my kiddos said it looks like a tent! To me, it looks geometric with the pentagon and triangle shapes I see, so that’s what we’re going with! Here’s how it opens:
And here it is all the way open:
Such a fun gift box to make! It’s unusual, but so cool! What a great teacher gift or gift for anyone you want to give a gift card to! It fits a standard gift card plus some treats!
Without further ado, here’s my video tutorial:
And here’s my template for reference (not to scale):

This is such an interesting box!! I love it. You are amazing.
This is gorgeous and a *perfect* gift box project–perfect size and not wasteful of paper either!
Hi Julie,
I am trying to determine what size test tubes you ordered from Amazon for the diagonal Christmas box you made a couple of weeks ago. I ordered some from Amazon, but they are too big.
Thanks for your help!
Julie,
This is a beautiful project! I love the colors you used. They blend so nicely together. Thanks for sharing.
