Lets Make a Mess

Paper Pyramid Gift Boxes

May 8, 2012 by Rachel 42 Comments

Check out my new site,Β Let’s Wrap Stuff. It’s dedicated to all things related to gift wrap. You can evenΒ submit a tutorialΒ or photo (even if you don’t have a blog)!

Lately, I’ve been a little obsessed with making different kinds of gift boxes. So when I came across these pyramid shaped DIY gift boxes, I knew I had to make some.

These are so simple to make, because Sassafras has generously provided a free printable template.

Print the template onto the inside of an 8.5 by 11 piece of card stock. Cut out the shape and carefully score along the inside lines. (Use the tip of a pair of scissors like a pencil and trace along the lines. Be sure to not cut all the way through the paper). Punch little holes in each triangle. Now fold all of the pieces and use a thin ribbon to tie the pieces together. You don’t need to use any glue or tape. The little box holds together perfectly.

These little boxes are easy to open and close, and would be perfect for a little Mother’s Day gift like earrings or a necklace. They are easy to reuse and a great thing to have on hand for last minute gifts.

    I made some of these using 12 pack soda boxes. I had to trace the pattern, but they turned out great. Thanks!!

    Love these gift boxes. I too like to make my own. I've recently made a gift box that looks like a mini handbag, see http://how-to-be-a-bad-artist.com/craft-techniques/handbag-giftbox/. I've created a free template. Enjoy

        Yeah! But I have to say, I made these (they were adorable) and I could only put in a few Hershey’s kisses for my friend’s birthday because of the tabs inside! It turned out fine though, I made a couple. It’s super easy and cute, thank you!

    Thank you! I was at work and needed a quick "box" for a gift. I used the template over a full-sheet print of flowers and it turned out great. This will be a "go to" for me for now on. THANK YOU

      I got it at either Joann's or Michael's, but I'm pretty sure I've seen it at both. It's with the 8.5 by 11 cardstock, but some of the packs are labelled textured.

    Love these and have just shared on my Facebook page.

    My Miss 14 loves to put together little wee Christmas presents for her Best friends, close School friends, the 'odd' teacher etc…we keep the cost down pretty low but over the years she has sorted out some really cute wee clusters of wee things…so these will be perfect to make them even more special.

    Thanks

    I just came across your instructions and loved these. Thanks for the template! I had made a pair of these to hang as decoration in a vintage bird cage and they came out really cute.

    I experimented with making a bunch of these at about a quarter of the size so I could hang them in between bunting flags for our fireplace. I think they'll be really cute at a tiny size but thought I'd tell you that when I printed out the tiny version and got it all scored and ready to close up with the string, I realized that if I let the points just stay open and point upwards, they look like little crowns! So I may hang them from the bunting like that. Haven't tried it yet but I think it will work and if not, then the pyramids will be great too. Thanks again for sharing your craft!
