Start by cutting a Christmas card at the fold...
 -

Fold each side in about an inch or so...
I drew lines on this just to demonstrate, but I don't normally draw the lines when I make a box.
Just fold and crease the fold good, then unfold it and move on to the next fold.
 -

Then cut the places I have marked with an arrow...
 -
...at all 4 corners.
Then fold the sides up as shown in the example and tape them into place.

Presto...a little gift box in 2 minutes!

That would be cool...then you all could WATCH me make an idiot out of myself!

Forgot to mention...that was little bitty card I used in the photos. If you have a big card, you can fold it farther in and make the box deeper.

You need to get them back Cindy.

So do the ads work by the words we type? Guess that is a question for Bill.

Nice Idea Afgrey' Really like the idea for grandkids to put their school gift in to give another student (provided the gift is small and light enough ) tie a ribbon around it and it's done!
SO What affiliate are you going to be on TLC, hgtv, Fine, DIY?? Or are you going to break out with your own ? [Wink] [thumb]
