Not only is it less expensive to make your own homemade gift boxes, you often create much nicer ones.
If I’m going to wrap paper around a box, then I like to recycle a cereal or cracker box, or a shoe box. After the gift giving occasion, the boxes can be put in the recycling.
Sometimes I want the box itself to look really pretty, and then I need to make one myself, using pretty decorative paper.
Or decoupage interesting paper onto a box.
Here are some easy boxes to make – as well as some unusual ones.
