V-Day 2012 Small Lil Gesture

Remember my previous post on DIY-ing pillow box for gift this Valentine? Read here.

I’ve done up 5 units of pillow box for my colleagues and friends. This is the end result. As mentioned before, the pillow box is very small. Most of my gift is not even fit in the box. I have to pack it separately.

It’s challenging to search for the right gift for 5 different personality girls! But I managed to find something for each of them thanks to my overly stuffed beauty drawer.

The extras which couldn’t fit in the pillow box. I like the wrapping bag very much that I die die also must use a few hahaha.

Hope everyone like their gift. It’s nothing fancy. Just a small gesture from me.

Valentine’s Day Pillow Box DIY

For this year’s V-Day I decided to gift a few of my friends with a small gift. With this I wanted to DIY my own card but later on ditch the plan as the card that I wanted to do require some die-cut using a knife and it looked horrible as the section to cut out is roundish kind. So I changed my plan to DIY for pillow box instead.

All I need is art card paper, double sided tape and ribbon. First I print out the design which I accidentally stumbled upon last month from google. She have lots of wonderful and simple craft work which I absolutely adore. Instead of using a white art card paper, I’m using a sweet light pink art card paper. The design includes one complete pillow box and four sentiment hearts (gift tags) for the front namely XOXOX, Happy Valentine’s Day, SWAK and Love, me.

After the design sheet is printed out, cut out the box around the edges, fold the top and bottom curve line, fold the tab on the side and use double sided tape to seal the box.
