Hi I'm Gerry from Gerry's Craft Room In this video I'm going make to mini gift boxes

I used a milk carton die that I have in my stash

but you can also use a template to make a box like this

just do a quick search on the internet

so first I do all the folding I first fold it in the opposite direction

here the red is going to be the outside this way you stretch the paper a bit so you

make a bit more room for the fold

and then I use a bone folder to burnish

By the way I added the products I used in the description box for you

and if you are new here don't forget to subscribe

I cut little panels for the red box I measured the space and made them a bit smaller

and I distress the edges and then I tape them in place

I fold the paper so I can see better where they need to go

then I tape the box together

then I start folding the top

I have a little clothes pin that I decorated with paper to close the box

now you can leave the bottom open if you want to pre make some boxes

so you have a bunch on hand I will finish the boxes

so you can see the end result

the box closes like this with the two opposite

flaps first and then the other flaps

I will lay the box flat and tape one on the inside top

and one on the inside bottom

then close the flaps without the tape and

then one over the other then press a little

turn the box over and use something long to

rub on the bottom inside the box

now you can leave it like this bit I will

add something more

I have stick It it's an adhesive sheet

it's really thin and I have my piece of paper

I cut a piece of the sheet to fit the paper

and I will add it to the paper and then burnish

so it sticks really well

and then run it through the machine

I use the craft pick to get the snowflakes out of the die

these snowflakes are from the winter wishes set

I have a piece of the backing of the adhesive sheet that I will use so don't throw that away

I will peel off the backing paper and then

I will some add glitter

I sprinkle on the glitter and then press it on the snowflakes with the left over paper

By the way if you feel inspired I always love to see your makes so don't forget to use

#gerryscraftroom when you share your work on social media

for the other flakes I use gold glitter

Now I will add them to the boxes and I look which side I like best

and then I can glue them in place

I have made some dots with Jewel drops and glitter accents

glitter accents aren't really meant to make drops

but if you push them a bit in shape a bit it will work

I pre made them on a piece of backing from double sided adhesive

and this way you have a bit more control especially with a bigger project or a project

that isn't flat so it's easier with drying

I use the jewel drops as a glue to add the drops

the jewel drops dry clear so it's good to use the same colour

so these are my two boxes it's a really fast project and will also

work great as a gift for birthdays and such I hope you liked the video don't forget
