DIY felt gift boxes

DIY felt gift boxes

November 20, 2013

Big things like diamond rings may come in small packages, but even the least expensive present deserves attention. Our DIY felt gift boxes make any small gift extra special. Our printable and instructions show you how make and embellish them like a pro for just pennies.

Download and print our Everyday Dishes & DIY felt box printable on an 11″ x 17″ sheet of paper. If your printer does not support this large size, follow our instructions below to tile it on letter size paper.

Head to your cutting mat and cut out the template, using an X-acto knife and metal ruler. Place the template on stiffened felt then cut it out using a rotary fabric cutting tool—if you don’t have one, simply use your trusty X-acto knife and ruler again.

Fold where indicated using a ruler—a bone folding tool or the back of a dull knife or spoon will ensure a crisp fold mark. Grab a hot glue gun to dab glue on the squared flap, adhere the angled flap to it and secure to form a perfectly square box.

Pinch edges together then search your craft supplies for Ric Rac, buttons, flowers, or anything else you might discover lurking in your stash. For a truly unique and super inexpensive finish, make one of our three DIY felt bows.

However you choose to decorate your gift boxes, the recipients are sure to appreciate it.
