Paper Boxes — Mini Tree Advent Calendar Project


Oddly shaped or larger ornaments that don’t fit into the smaller wooden boxes still need to be wrapped! Make these easily opened, easily reclosed paper boxes from heavy weight scrapbook paper or light cardstock and resize the template as needed to fit your ornaments.

Things you’ll need:
Light cardstock or heavy scrapbook paper
Template
Glue (hot glue make it easier but isn’t necessary)
Scissors
Pencil or pen
Thin ribbon

Things to do:
1. Cut out and trace the template onto your paper. Cut out as many boxes as you need to make for your ornaments.

2. Fold in all the flaps and crease along all the lines.
3. Apply a thin bead of glue onto the flaps and then attach them to the edges to create a box. Fold down the excess on the top flap and tuck it into the box.
4. Cut a length of ribbon long enough to go around the box and tie at the top. Glue it to the bottom and up the sides with a thin bead of glue. Tie into a bow at the top.
