How to Make the Perfect Gift Box with Katie Skilton

Hello…

As we hit the final few months of the year it is time for Sizzix to release the final chapter for 2016 - Chapter 4.
This means I will be bringing you some exciting new releases on my Hochanda shows on the 18th October.

One of my favorites from this Chapter is the Sizzix Thinlits Die Set Every Occasion. This creates a beautiful gift box and I am going to show you how easy it is to create.







Step 1
Die cut 2 of the gift box bases from patterned paper.








Step 2
Die cut the bow elements.







Step 3
Using a strong double sided tape adhere the box together.







Step 4
Using hot glue adhere the bow together.







Step 5
Trim a strip of coordinating paper and wrap around the centre of the box.







Step 6
Wrap twine around the centre of the trip of paper and adhere the bow to the box.






This is a perfect die set for so many occasions and of course you can use the bow on my other projects too.

I hope you like the project.  Don’t forget to join me on 18th October to see all the other new releases from Chapter 4.

Katie
