Heart and Star Gift Boxes (3 pics)

[craftADDchick]

I made these last night. They are both 3-D on the top of the box, although it doesn't show up too well in the pics. I stamped hearts on the heart box, and stars on the star box (so original, I know!  ). The star box has a flap on the back for filling. On the heart box, I was supposed to glue the back of the box closed with a flap, but I decided to cut the flap off- I punched holes and laced it up with ribbon. After I did that, I realized that if I decorated the box like a corset (using "flesh tone" paper for the box, some shiny paper-or maybe fabric- and lace) it would make an even cuter gift box!

Oooo! They're pretty. Is it possible for you to post the heart template or a link to it? I've been trying to find that forever.

[craftADDchick]

I'm sorry Yoshi! I got the pattern from a friend and I was asked not to share it- which is a bummer because I'd love to see what other people could do with it!

[Yoshi]

Aww! Oh well, that's ok. You're a very good friend then  .

Great job!! Those boxes are so sweet! I wish I knew how to make one. Does your friend sell these patterns by chance? I would just love to make one for my Valentine
