Today’s project is a Diagonal Closure Ornament Gift Box featuring the A Merry Hello stamp set and Poinsettia Place Designer Series Paper!
This ornament is a “pixiefied” hybrid of Britta Timm’s Refined Box and Sam Hammond Donald’s Tiny Tree Decoration! Here’s a closer look:
I absolutely LOVE this sentiment from A Merry Hello for this ornament gift box:

Here’s how the ornament gift box opens:
And here’s how it looks open from the top:
This is a great ornament gift box for an Advent calendar or to fill with treats, gifts, or money for the holidays! It’s also easy to change up to just be a fun gift box for any occasion by just tying a bow without the extra ribbon length.
Without further ado, here’s my video tutorial:
And here’s the template for reference (not to scale):

Hi Kathleen! Thank you so much! The template is intended to be for reference and is not to scale. I don’t offer templates for sale, my tutorials are free! You can print any of my blog posts by clicking the print icon at the bottom of the post. Or you can right-click on the template and open it in a new window to print for reference.
Hi Julie, I am your faithful follower and I want to thank you for your unique tutorials, I love the little boxes for just one treat for friends (who are mostly patchwork friends), but I was trying many others, too.
Greetings from Germany, Anneliese
Very nice ,
Love it! I’ve made a couple, but l can’t get my bow as neat as yours – any suggestions? Thanks for the inspiration!
Totally didn’t work. Not sure scoring dimensions are correcy
Hello Ms. Pixie:
lol…. please keep me in mind when you start the new paper/Ribbon share.
Stay safe and happy holiday.
Thank you again for all the great tutorials.
I sure will, Lillian! You’re on my list! ❤️
Definitely worthy of a ring or jewelry on Christmas morning! Or, for those who have the SU Advent Calendar (Christmas Countdown), it looks like this box could fit inside a drawer for a special surprise!
Great ideas, Angie! ❤️
