DIY Round Gift Boxes

Hello everyone,

I'm here to share some gift boxes this time. These are totally made from scratch using dies as a base. I have a small pictorial on how I went about creating them. These are pretty easy to make once you have practiced with atleast one of them. For the tutorial on how to make them, I googled it and found a quite easy video on YouTube though the lady in the video used SVG cut files to make hers. The process is same. Here's a look at my boxes :

My second box which I made :

The first box I made was in White :

A close up of the details :

A small pictorial of the dies used to make the box :

The strip is handcut and it measures approximately 10 inch by 3 inch. I have scored at the half inch mark and cut small slits to make it easy to adhere it on the round base.

I ended up making not one, but two of these boxes as the first one was my practice go and the second one, my finished product. Though, as it is usual, I ended up loving the first one more than the other  which is the White and pink box.

To make the base of these boxes, I die cut 4 circles, mine are 3 inches in size and you will need two doily dies for the upper and lower halves. (This is totally optional). You will need an approximately 10 inch by 2 inch paper strip for the base and for the lid you can use a 10 inch by 3 inch paper strip as the lid of the box has to be a bit larger than your base for your box to fit/close properly.

The flowers on my boxes are handmade using two of my favorite dies from Cheery Lynn- Medium Tea Rose and Gardenia Strip and the two doilies that I have used are also from Cheery Lynn - Sophie's Heart Mini die being my all time favorite!

While one of my box is made using a kraft colored cardstock, the other one is totally pastel with soft colors and a splash of hot pink!! 

Do let me know which one is your favorite among the two. ;)
