Valentine's Day Special!! : 'Open your heart' gift box

Hi everybody!! Hope you are having a great weekend :)

Today 'Something Different' has brought something extra special for you as a part of our 'Valentine's Day Special Series'. Well, I have named it 'Open your heart' gift box!!! <3 :D


This lovely box has four compartments and hence it can be used to put together a bunch of little little valentine's gifts.
The tutorial is for a heart-shaped box of size 21 cm x 21 cm approximately. It has two semicircular boxes and two triangular boxes. Following are the steps :


Step 1: We will start with two semicircular boxes first. Each such box is made up of two parts A and B as shown. Cutout these parts having given dimensions from preferably red or pinkish drawing paper. Make folds along the marked lines.



Step 2: Apply some glue to part A along the circular edge and stick the rectangular strip to it around the edge as shown.

Finally it should look something like this :


Step 3: Take some satin ribbon and apply glue to it. Use it to connect part A with Part B.


That is it. One semicircular box is ready!


Repeat the same procedure for the second semicircular box.

Step 4: Now lets start with other two boxes. These boxes have three parts A, B and C as shown in image below.

Step 5: Make folds and make a partial cut in Part A as shown below :


Apply some glue to that overlapping flap and it will look like this.


Step 6: We need to make triangular slits in rectangular strip as we did previously for semicircular boxes. And make folds along the marked line.


Step 7: Now as earlier, stick this strip to the curved edge of part A.


Step 8: Repeat step 5 with part B to form lid of this box.

Step 9: Again using satin ribbon, connect both parts A and B together and the box it ready!!


Repeat the steps to make another similar box.

Step 10: Put all four boxes together and you will get a whole heart :) The final result will be like this:



I have carpeted the bottoms of each of the boxes to make it look neat. You can decorate it with some ribbon flowers etc. You can also make a heart-shaped base to which these boxes can be pasted so that they all stay together or just leave it like this.


Now you can put together your valentine's gifts in it and present this to your valentine with some romantic setting... you know candle, flowers, a greeting card and all!! ;)


Hope you liked today's tutorial. Stay tuned for more!! :)
