How to Make Festive Gift Boxes with Katie Skilton

Hello…
If you are anything like me you still have Christmas cards to make and things to decorate the home. That is why I am back on the 1st December at 8pm and the 2nd December at 9am, 12pm, 4pm and 7pm to give you some last minute festive inspiration.

I have some beautiful dies to bring you along with the One Day Special.

One of the dies I am bringing to you is the Sizzix Thinlits Die Set 7PK - Box, Pillow & Poinsettias. This is a beautiful die for creating gorgeous gift wrap and table gifts.

Here is how to make it:

Materials:

Sizzix Thinlits Die Set 7PK - Box, Pillow & Poinsettias
Patterned paper
Cardstock
Glitter washi tape
Twine

Method:

Step 1

Die cut 2 of the pillow box sides from patterned paper.

Step 2
Using strong double sided tape adhere together.

Step 3
Wrap the wash tape around the centre of the box.

Step 4
Die cut the poinsettia as shown.

Step 5
Piece together the poinsettia.

Step 6
Wrap twine around the box and add a bow. Adhere the poinsettia.

These are so quick and simple to make and the best part is you can use the box and the poinsettia for separate projects too.

Until then …

Katie

Meet the Presenter - Matt MacNamara

1. How did you first get introduced to crafts? I’ve always loved craft and had such great respect for anyone who makes and creates crafty items. At craft fairs it is always me that holds up everyone else in the group while I chat to the people on the stalls about what they have made. My wife Karen, or Mrs M, is very crafty too. She’s into the classic decoupage, upcycling old boxes and furniture. She also makes her own jewellery and I sometimes help her run the stalls at craft fairs.. 2. What have been your highlights so far on Hochanda? We have a very talented pool of guests, so there is always something so creative going on in the studio, so honestly, every day is highlight. I’ve also had the good fortune to have tried several crafts for the first time ever. It’s pleasantly surprising to discover that to be a good crafter you don’t necessarily have to be artistic, you just need to be imaginative and creative. We all have our own...
