  1. Step 1

    Step 1

    First you will need to grab the template. I got this template from the following site: http://www.ruthannzaroff.com/mirkwooddesigns/puffy.htm

    I cut out the template and traced it on the back side of my cardstock. You'll need to use a heavier cardstock when making this box.

  2. Step 2

    Step 2

    Next, cut out the design you traced on your cardstock.


  3. Step 3

    Step 3

    Now it's time to score the dotted lines from the template on your cardstock. This was the tricky part for me. To make sure I accurately traced the curved lines I placed the template over my cardstock and traced the dotted lines with my scoring tool (I used a Phillip's Head Screwdriver). This left a faint indention on my cardstock which I was able to go back over with my scoring tool. This step is important because the scoring makes it easier to fold the box correctly.

  4. Step 4

    Step 4

    Now it's time to start folding where you scored.


  5. Step 5

    Step 5

    Now put glue on the tab shown in this picture. Fold the other side over and adhere the glued tab to it.

    Let it dry. I placed mine inside a book to ensure that the tab stayed in place while it was drying.

  6. Step 6

    Step 6

    Once the glue has dried, you can "assemble" your box. Just fold the ends toward the inside of the box as shown.

  7. Step 7

    Step 7

    And you're done!

    This box can be used to package party favors or any small gift.

    HAPPY FOLDING!!!
