Today I needed to make a gift box in a hurry. I love these little pillow boxes; they’re really versatile. You can make them pretty much any size you need, and I needed a small one.
I cut this from the Pemberly paper pack from Close to My Heart at 5.8 inches using my Gypsy. It’s found on page 28 of the handbook. It’s the shift-font layer key. I wanted something like a belly band, so I also cut the tag, decorative layer, and decorative layer shift from page 41. They’re each cut at 2.3 inches. Last, I threaded a ribbon through the slits in the tag and tied it in a simple knot in the back. All finished! Fast and easy.
I hope you think of using a pillow box when you need pretty wrapping in a hurry!
