Gift Box Ornament Craft

We give gifts to show the people we care about how much we love them. With this easy and fun craft, you can make this gift ornament to hang on your tree as a reminder of what Jesus did for us or make it as a gift itself for your friends and family.

Equipment

  • Box template PDF (see instructions step one to download)
  • Scissors
  • Tape or glue
  • Markers, crayons, paint, glitter, or stickers (optional for decoration)

Ingredients

  • Paper for printing box template. (Regular computer paper is easy to fold but not very sturdy as a box so if you need something sturdier then use cardstock. With cardstock it may be harder to fold depending on the thickness. Choose what you think will work best for your kids to use.)
  • Ribbon or small bow (any color)
  • String or thread (any color)

Instructions

  • Print the box template PDF (download here) on white, colored, or patterned paper.
  • Follow the directions on the template to cut out and and assemble the box.
  • Decorate the box using whatever embellishments you like. If you're using a patterned paper, you might want to leave it as is.
  • Tie a ribbon around it or place a little bow on top as a final touch.
  • If it’s a gift, you can make a little gift tag and attach it to your gift box.
  • Attach a string or thread loop for hanging it on the Christmas tree.
