Little Flat Gift Boxes

-
I like to send little gifts to my niece and nephews for Easter. They’re all teens now, but I still like to send them a little something to let them know I’m thinking about them.


This little gift box is perfect for giving little gifts to friends, teachers, grandparents, pastors, and neighbors. I’m providing a blank template in PDF that you can print and decorate yourself, and a printable Easter gift box.

The only thing you need to add is a sticker or piece of ribbon to hold it closed.

Here is what the blank template looks like.








It is ready to print on cardstock, cut out, decorate and fold into a flat little gift box, then seal with a sticker or wrap with ribbon.









The Easter template is double sided:







Print both sides of the cardstock, write the recipient’s name in the space on the front, add a message inside (and a little gift), then seal with a sticker or wrap with ribbon.

Both are available here.

    Thanks for the cute template! You should send this to Rachel at One Pretty Thing-maybe she'll include it in her free downloads section.

    You are so creative, and the package looks adorable. Personally, I love little boxes and wrapping. During the holidays, my daughter and I are so into little boxes and get just as excited about them as the gift inside. In fact. the gift inside can be a handwritten poem or a sweet note for the recipient...gift complete...inside and out! I love your blog and thanks for the pattern!

Crochet Kindle Case Tutorial

My wonderful husband gave me a Kindle e-reader for my birthday last month. I love to read and am enjoying having an e-reader. I like to carry it in my purse, but wanted it to be protected, so I made a cover for it. Here’s how: 1. Using cotton (Sugar & Cream weight) yarn and a size K crochet hook, chain 26. 2. Beginning with the second chain from hook, single crochet in each chain stitch to end. This should now be a half-inch longer than the height of the Kindle. 3. Chain 1, turn, and single crochet in each single crochet. Repeat this step until the piece is twice the width of the Kindle plus three inches. Bind off. 4. Lay Kindle on piece about three inches from one end.   Fold other end over Kindle. Adjust so that Kindle is completely covered and edge of piece matches side edge of Kindle.                                     (So, Kindle is inside in this illustration, with left side folded over top of Kindle) 5. Remove Kindle, and fold remaining 2 – 2 ½ inches over

I was an Amway brat.  My parents were successful Amway distributers for many years, and we used Amway products extensively in our home.  They were good products.  Their laundry products worked well, and were a good value because they were so concentrated.  Best of all, they didn't irritate sensitive skin.  Because I have extremely sensitive skin, I've continued using Amway laundry products for most of my adult life - until recently.  I'm not sure when it happened exactly, but Amway began adding fragrance to their laundry products.  Since I can't stand wearing perfumed clothing, I started using fragrance free laundry products from the grocery store. Finding fragrance free laundry detergent and fabric softener from the store has been easy.  There are several available. There is one Amway product, however, that my family wasn't willing to give up:  Trizyme.  It's an enzyme laundry booster and one of Laura's favorite laundry products, but the new Trizyme c

Ribbon Rose Tutorial

Making ribbon roses is fairly easy with just a little practice. Finished ribbon roses can be used for hats, headbands and other fascinators, brooches, unique one-of-a-kind jewelry, and for wedding decorations. The length of ribbon needed depends on the width of the ribbon and also on the desired fullness of the finished flower. I usually unwind a few feet of ribbon and leave it on the spool until I’m nearly finished making the ribbon rose. A ribbon rose may be secured with stitches near its base as it is made, or it may be secured with stitches when it is finished, or it may be secured with florist’s wire for arrangements. This ribbon rose tutorial shows how to secure the ribbon rose with stitches as it is being made. 1. Begin by unwinding at least 24 to 30 inches of ribbon. 2. Holding the ribbon in the left hand, fold ribbon back/down at a 90 degree angle about 6 inches from the end. This 6 inch ribbon tail becomes the stem. The remaining long piece of ribbon is the working
