Make Your Own Pillow Box & Free Printable

We recently got the exciting news that our newest nephew was delivered into this world, healthy and handsome and the 27th grandchild on my husband's side! Yes, the 27th! When my husband's brother and wife visited around Christmas time on their way to spend the holidays with his wives family in Connecticut I gave them a crocheted baby blanket for the little one but wanted to do a little more now that he's here. I'll share photo's of the gift once they receive it in the mail but until then here's how I wrapped it up.

I don't know about you but I've got lots of friends and neighbors having babies in the coming months and most are expecting boys. Since the stork is so busy making deliveries in the springtime I wanted to share with you a simple and sophisticated way to make your gift deliveries.

Here's a tutorial on how to make your own "Pillow Box" out of card stock.

It's as simple as that and this is what you should have at the end. Of course you can make these any size depending on the size of the sheet of card stock you start out with.

NOTE: It is very important to use a round object, such as a large bowl, that is almost double the width of your box on the enclosure ends. If you use one that is the exact width of your package it will not work and you'll waste paper. I found this out the hard way.

Don't stop here. Now you need a little card to add to the top of the package.

I designed this itty bitty greeting with two color stories and two patterns. Both housed on the same 8.5 x 11 sheet and free when using them for gift giving. Use the link I provide below.

The sheet has the instructions for scoring and cutting them out. Please read the USER AGREEMENT before downloading the files here.

Thank you for adhering to my requirements upon downloading this file. Most people wouldn't dream of using someone elses work as their own but for the few that do I needed to post the reminder. I've read some pretty disappointing stories of this scenario.
