How to Make Mini Gift Boxes from Tissue Boxes

I, as most crafters, don’t like to throw most things away since they can “come in handy one day”.  As you can see, tissue boxes are one of those things that I chose to keep for….something.

First, take a box and cut out the top.

Measure the height of the box and mark the same length in the middle of the box (you’ll have to measure with the ruler and possibly do a little math to get the middle). Cut down until you get to the bottom of the box.

Fold in the two flaps.

Tuck the flaps into one side of the box.

Tuck in the opposite side in as well.

Secure with a ribbon or wrap with wrapping paper.

Here is a sample of a finished gift box.  It measures approximately 10.5cm x 7.75cm x 6.5cm.

I made a few for smaller gifts.  They were perfect to send in a smaller than usual parcel overseas.
