I have seen the boxes made out of heavy paper and also the Christmas cards and they are just great for small gifts.

This was just perfect! My daughter, 6, bought a cute, little necklace for her friend for her birthday, but I didn't have a box. Because I'm not much of a card person, I ended up using two large index cards for the box and wrapped it in wrapping paper. It worked just fine for the purpose intended, and I didn't have to run out into town with 3 young children to find just a box! Thank you!

this is excellent and so easy, i have yet to try it but you have explained it so well, i'm just about to try it out... its going to be so much easier and cheaper than having to buy them cos sometimes you cant get the right size or style and it recycles old cards, thank you ever so much for passing this on to others, i for one am extremely greatfull, with only a few days to go before Christmas this is excellent to do with the children i look after once they have made their cookies and fudge for family members as presents they can then put them in their own little hand made boxes thank you a thousand times over

Sorry. Not that crafty. But for those like me, I re-use Christmas cards as present tags. I may cut them down to size, or just use the portions I want . . . but they make excellent tags for next years gifts!

A girl I worked with showed me how to do this, I love it. She makes them all year long and then at Christmas she gathers them puts a couple of pieces of candy in them and takes them to different nursing homes. Such a neat idea and kids can help also.

I've always wanted to know how to make these boxes. They make great fudge boxes.

This is a great idea. I have been saving hundreds of old greeting cards for years and now I have a way of using them (If I have the time!)

My mum used to teach handicapped people all sorts of crafts, boxes being one of them and as children, my siblings and I learnt as well. Ufortunately, I seem to have lost the skill not having done it for so long and sadly my mother is no longer with us. The lids on the boxes sorted fanned round on the top and I cannot think how this was done and wondered if there was any possibilty that anyone reading this could enlighten me

This is great! Very simple to follow the directions. How do you hide the signature though? I did one, and the signature is right there in the bottom of the box. Don't really like that. How can it be hidden?

I am looking for a box my grandma use to make back in the 50's. Top & bottom was hexagon shape, sideswere ( ) like that, they were crocheted together . She use to put hankies in it that she croched the edges. And give them as gifts. Let me know if you find any.
