Today I made a giftbox, or hostess gift, party favor, what every the occasion any one could use a "thank you" I'm sure. I'm thinking teacher gifts.
The little box contains 4 Merci bars, this because I have bought the 32 box and so can make 8 with one box.
For the giftbox you need a piece of paper 9" wide and 7 3/8 tall, I used a 12"x12"paper, but you can use a 8.5"x11"of course, just mine aren't sturdy enough I feel.

On the short side score at: 1 3/4, 2 1/8, 5 1/4 and 5 5/8 inches.
Fold and burnish the scorelines and cut away bits as shown in pattern (//////).
I used a fancy edge scissors to enhance the edges ( funny enough), it doesn't fit through the Bigshot, Gemini maybe, I haven't measured, but you can use a rotary cutter as well, some have fancy edges, dies, punches or just leave them straight. You should just be able to see the Merci name peeping out of the pocket.

I then added a nice colored bit of ribbon to tie is shut.
Adorable box. I put your video into the box faves on my YT channel. Thanks for sharing.
