Welcome to day nine of SCT’s 12 Days of Holiday Giving event! It’s Lisa Dickinson here today with a quick and easy box and tag that’s perfect for those last-minute gifts! It is the perfect size to hold a gift card or cash and I love to keep a few of these handy during the holiday season for gifts to teachers, delivery people, or neighbors!
I’m using the American Crafts and Vicki Boutin Evergreen & Holly collection and it’s a fun and festive line that we’ll be giving away today! It’s perfect for cards, layouts, and the adorable pillow box and tag combo I’m creating today!
To make an easy pillow box, just download the free cut file I’ve created and cut the boxes from your favorite patterned papers!
Click HERE to download this FREE pillow box cut file!
Once your paper is cut, crease the tab along the long side of the box and add strong, permanent adhesive to secure it to the other long side of the box.
Then gently fold in the oval flaps at each end of the box. You can secure them with a glue dot if you’d like, but don’t forget to add your gift card, cash, or note first!
Once your boxes are assembled, cut coordinating paper strips approximately 2x 7 inches. Wrap these around the center of each box and secure the strip with adhesive.
Then, trim some of the tags from the Evergreen & Holly cut-apart “Merriest” paper. These are two-sided tags with a design on one side and a space to write on the other!
Use baker’s twine to attach the tag to the pillow box, and add one of the cute chipboard pieces for additional embellishment, if you’d like!
In just a few minutes, you’ve got your gifts wrapped up and ready to go! Wishing everyone the happiest of holiday seasons!
