I masked the sentiment to cover “much”, which adds to the versatility of the set! Here’s how the box opens:
Love, love, love this gift box! It’s a great size for a handful of treats or a small gift! Without further ado, here’s my video tutorial:

Wish ALL of your designs had downloads – you are an amazing paper artist and I love each and every one of your designs.
Trying to decide which would be the easiest to make with a group of elders at a local nursing home. I’m searching for one I can maybe prescore and we would just help assemble and decorate. I don’t want to take away the magic that is construction of these lovely boxes and such.
Hi Lauri! You can use the print option at the bottom of any of my blog posts to print or save to PDF. The print option allows you to remove any sections before printing or saving. I wish ALL of my designs had corresponding project sheets too, but there’s just not enough time in the day. I’ve only just started creating them in the last 2 years and my projects go back 14 years!
