How To Make a Gift Box Using a Greeting Card

Instructions on How To Make a Gift Box Using a Greeting Card:
Cut the card in half across the crease.

Choose the side that you want to be the bottom half and cut about 1/8 inch from one long side and one short side.

On the inside part of both cards, measure about 1 inch from the edge length and width wise. If you want a deeper box, cut 2 inches from the edge.

Lightly draw a grid that you can fold over and cut.

Fold the cards towards the inside along the lines drawn.

Hold the card lengthwise and cut along the vertical lines to where the lines intersect.

Put a piece of double sided tape on the flaps.

Fold the box up along the lines and fold in the flaps.

Fold up the end flap so that it sticks to the tape.

Do the same for the other side and the other box.

Place the larger box on top of the smaller.

That is such a great idea because I have so many Christmas unused greeting cards from last year. I'm going to use your idea and put gift cards in them...thanks so much!

Excellent instruction! Can't wait to use my old cards. They are so pretty, and it seems such a shame to throw them away. This is a great way to use them. Thank you!!!
