How to make an easy wedding gift card box

Hi folks! Sorry I’ve been MIA lately 😉 In May, I was busy getting married, honeymooning, and all that good stuff! Now I’m excited to share with you one of the items I made for our wedding–this inexpensive, easy DIY gift card box. I had seen similar gift card boxes on Etsy, but I knew I could make one for much cheaper.

I found all of my supplies at Hobby Lobby. Here is the breakdown:

*Regular burlap ($4–after the 50% off sale)

*Lace burlap ($7–after the 50% off sale, you do not have to buy this in the wedding section)

*Flower ($3–this is actually a childrens hair clip I found on an endcap)

*Gemstone Pearls ($3–after my 40% off coupon)

*Cardboard box ($3)

*2 pieces of fancy scrapbook paper ($2)

Total=$22 + tax Holla!

Supplies

I started by cutting out the slot for the envelopes. I used a ruler to draw a slot, and then cut it out with a knife.

Then I added on the pearls. You can break the pearls into sections to make them easier to attach. I let them hang over a little bit to hide my box cutting abilities 😉

Next I wrapped the box with the regular burlap and added a few dabs of hot glue to secure it. Then I overlapped the regular lace with the lace burlap.

After attaching the burlap, I clipped on the flower.

Then I layered the shimmery brown and sheer scrapbook paper, printed out our name and wedding date on printer paper, and used double sided scotch tape to stick it together.
