@Authors,

Don’t forget to include a link and an image.
Please also include information about the materials, technique, difficulty level, and what makes the pattern special.

Decoration examples for boxes:



I have a detailed tutorial with lots of photos on how to make a large box with a bow.
For making this box, you need not only the materials but above all time and patience. Cutting the cardboard requires precision; the glued parts must dry thoroughly and can only be worked on further once they are completely dry.
They are wonderfully suited as gifts for special occasions such as weddings or baptisms. In the e-book, you will find some sample pictures showing how boxes can be decorated.
Materials: patchwork fabric, bookbinding linen, grey cardboard, glue, bone folder, cutting mat, craft knife, brush, and more.

A complete list of materials, shopping and book tips, and a list of all measurements can be found at the end of the e-book. You will also find
my email address there in case of any problems.

If you don’t have an Easter basket yet – here I have a pattern you can use to quickly make the perfect little basket for it.



The little basket consists of two layers, made from photo cardstock, and measures approx. 17.5 x 8 x 17.5 cm. The many holes are cut out with a craft knife; that is actually very quick, but you should be familiar with this technique and enjoy it. Otherwise, the nest is very easy to make.

No matter how small your gift may be, it should still be beautifully wrapped. This cute little bag is perfect for that.


 
The little bag is made of cardstock and measures approx. 12 x 15 x 6 cm. It is especially suitable for jewelry, key rings, various small collectibles, phone cases, and similar items. The small gift bag can easily be adapted in color to match the gift or the recipient's taste. It is not difficult to make, but some crafting experience is helpful.

For soft gifts, such as textile ones, that are impossible to wrap in gift wrap, you need sturdy, stable gift packaging—like this box here: It can be filled easily and effortlessly, looks quite stylish, and after it’s emptied, it can be used as a decorative container for all kinds of odds and ends.


 
The box measures approx. 16.5 x 16.5 cm and is made from photo cardstock. It is very easy to craft, but requires precision and patience when cutting out and gluing on the motif elements.

This gift bag is also handy when your gifts can’t be wrapped in paper. Especially if you want to give several small items as gifts, you can conveniently present them to the recipient in this bag.


 
The bag is made from cardstock, measures approximately 19 x 24 x 8 cm, and is very easy to make, even for beginners, thanks to its simple shapes.
