Creative DIY Gift Box Ideas

There are LOTS of different ways you can great a gift box! You can make a Gift box from paper or fabric, you can decorate an old shoe box and turn it into a gift box. Or you can take the humble TP Roll and create some fabulous shapes and designs – perfect DIY Gift boxes that you can use as party favours. You can make themed DIY Gift Boxes for Halloween or Easter and you can use printables or origami.

The gift box ideas shared here today are design to be fun and quirky! As gift boxes are often discarded, the ideas shared here today are also simple and inexpensive, often using recycled materials. And I would love to hear of any additional ideas you may have. We also have some DIY Kids’ Wrapping Paper ideas.. we have used many an idea below in “emergency run out of paper” situations!!!!

One of the SIMPLEST paper box origami patterns out there. This pattern is quick and easy to learn and it will have you making boxes everywhere and any time!

What is fabulous about the origami box, is that you can make it out of fabrics such as hessian too!

As gift boxes are usually just that – a gift box – and may well be discarded after the gift has been received, we particularly like making gift boxes out of recycled materials. Here are some great ideas ranging from mason jars, to egg cartons and shoe boxes. And of course – not to forget – the TP Roll Gift Box (oh so versatile!!)

These DIY Cookie Jars are sooooo fun to make. Are super easy and look great. They are fabulous for a “Cookie in a Jar” gift set, but you can also use them to gift some Shopkins Toys or other trinkets.

Oh so we made this Treasure Box to keep, well, little treasures in.. but I think it would also make for a super fun gift box. We made two versions – this Pirate Treasure box, but also a lovely decoupage treasure box!! Go for whatever takes your fancy!
