I love geometric boxes and bright colors so it seemed like a good idea to bring the two together! These gift boxes are great for wrapping small gifts or for housing yummy treats. They are also really easy to make, all you need to do it print them out then fold and glue them into position.

Materials: Good Card Stock, Scissors, Ruler, Compass/Needle Point, Quick Dry Tacky Glue , Printable Templates (Cube, Icosahedron and Tetrahedron)

For the cube:

Step 1: Print the template onto a sheet of white card. Set your printing preferences to ‘photo’ or ‘best photo’. Cut around the outside edge using a pair of scissors.
Step 2: Score (and fold) along all of the interior lines using a ruler and pointy object (such as compass or needle).
Step 3: Put glue on the tab and stick down as shown.
Step 4: Do up the bottom of the box.
Step 5: Pop your gift/treats into the box.
Step 6: Close the lid (or glue the last flap into position).

For the Icosahedron and Tetrahedron:

You will need to print, score, and fold the templates just in the same way as you would do the cube. Start gluing your model together remembering to leave one flap open so that you can put your gift inside. Once filled you will need to glue or tape the last flap into position. Double sided tape works well for this.
