Total Time: 20 minutes

Yield: one gift box

Supplies:

Steps:

  1. Cut off the top and bottom flaps of the lasagne box, and then cut the box open along the side panels.
  2. Place the cookie cutter on the front panel and trace around it. Trace a second heart on to the front panel and then cut out both hearts. Glue the two hearts on top of each other to make a sturdy base for the gift box.

  4. Cut two strips from the side panels, each with a width of 2.3". Note: The length of the two strips together should fit around the heart base, and have a little extra to overlap with each other. Draw a line 1.6" from the side of each strip. Cut indents - about 0.3" apart - into each strip, cutting up to the line drawn at 1.6", and then cut each indent at a slight angle. Bend each cardstock flap between the indents at an angle of 90 degrees.

Color the area around the smaller heart with the black felt-tip pen.
