Swivel Gift Box

I am so excited to share today’s project with you! I’m calling it a Swivel Gift Box, because the attached lid swivels open to reveal the contents! I sized this box to fit a Dove Hand Cream I found at Dollar Tree, but it’s also a perfect size for a set of 3″ x 3″ cards & envelopes! Once you make one of these, you won’t be able to stop playing with it – it’s so cool!

This box with a hinged lid that swivels to reveal its contents is such a cool style box! I was inspired by demonstrator Conni Richter’s project and “Pixiefied” it to fit a Dove Hand Cream.

Instead of adding a ribbon pull, I chose to trim away a corner to make it easy to open the box! This also shows a peek of a coordinating pattern of paper, which I love!

By holding the lower right corner with your right hand, you can open the lid with your left hand – and it swivels to do so. It’s so cool! Here’s a top view of the open box:

I showed during my livestream that you can also fit a set of 3″ x 3″ cards and envelopes, which I love to keep a stash of to give to people who have made my day!

Here’s one more look at this cool Swivel Box:

I hope you’ll give this project a try! I see many more of this style box in my future!
