Your students will be excited to present this gift box to their loved ones.
Use your classroom laminator to create these adorable little boxes your students can use for a tiny gift. This laminated lace box is the perfect size for a tiny treat like a chocolate kiss. You can also use printed paper or have your students create their own artwork on a light print of the box template for a uniquely individual gift box.
Instructions:
- Place a piece of lace or tulle at least the size of the template inside the laminator pouch and send through the laminator. (I usually send it through with a piece of cardstock to give the lightweight material some stability).
- Trace the template pattern onto the laminated lace. Cut out the traced piece. I like to use a soldering iron and a glass mat for this process as it seals the edges as it melts/cuts the laminate. I put the template under my glass mat, then using sheer lace, I can trace the edges through the lace.
- Use a perforating blade or cutter to perforate along each fold line.
- Place perforated piece into another laminator pouch and laminate again.
- Cut out again, carefully maintaining the original dimensions.
- Fold along each perforated fold line.
- Apply adhesive dots to each tab, and assemble box.
- Embellish as desired.
For the Paper version, skip steps one and two and instead trace and cut out the template. Continue with Step 3 above.
