Embroidered Paper Gift Box DIY

3D Paper Projects· Paper Crafts

Gift-giving season is almost here!  I am always excited to find new and fun ways to wrap gifts for those I love.  If you are looking for a pretty, personalized way to give gifts this year, why not consider adding a little bit of embroidery charm?  This little embroidered paper gift box DIY is actually very simple to make, and a fun way to give a special gift.

Gift-box-DIY-embroidered-tutorial-Crafts-Unleashed-1Supplies needed to make your own embroidered gift box DIY:ClickLinks1

  • Gift Box Punch Board.
  • Colorful Cardstock.
  • Embroidery Thread.
  • Needle.
  • Mouse Pad.
  • Stencil.

Gift-box-diy-embroidered-tutorial-Crafts-Unleashed-3First, cut your cardstock to a perfect square.  Then, following the instructions that come with the gift box punch board, punch and crease all of the lines needed for creating your gift box DIY.  For mine, I started with a 8″ x 8″ square piece of paper.  The instructions that come with the board are very easy to follow and, after making a few boxes, you will be able to create boxes very quickly.

Gift-box-diy-embroidered-tutorial-Crafts-Unleashed-4Time to add a little personalization!  And for me, that always means embroidery!

To create the monogram, I first punched holes in the cardstock using a stencil as a guide.  You can easily punch these holes with a needle but it is important that you have a spongy material beneath you as you work, like a mouse pad.

Punch the holes for your monogram in one of the 4 squares around the outside of the paper.  If needed, first fold your gift box DIY so that you can see where the monogram will end up.

Gift-box-diy-embroidered-tutorial-Crafts-Unleashed-5Grab your embroidery thread and start stitching.  You can, of course, embroider any image or type of letter.  I went with an outline of a letter.  Too many stitches close together is not a good idea when stitching on paper.

Gift-box-diy-embroidered-tutorial-Crafts-Unleashed-6And finally, fold and put together your paper box once again following the directions that come with the punch board.  I love these boxes because they are cute, perfectly square and when finished have the most adorable “Chinese Takeout” tops.

Gift-box-diy-embroidered-tutorial-Crafts-Unleashed-7As I said, you can embroider any sort of details on a personalized paper gift box DIY, but I love how the monograms turned out.  And the best part–no need to include a name card!

Gift-box-diy-embroidered-tutorial-Crafts-Unleashed-2Thanks for being here!
