Make Fabric Gift Boxes

Every year during the holidays I make "goodies" as gifts for my family and friends. I am always looking for ideas to package these gifts that looks really special. A few years ago, I came up with this idea for small boxes. The size that I show here is perfect for giving homemade candy.

You may need to make a couple of "trial" boxes before you get them perfect.

Step 1 Materials

Cotton or quilting weight fabric
Cutting mat
Bowl
White glue
Fabric stiffener
rotary cutting tool (I found this works better than trying to mark and cut the fabric)
Folding tool (I use a clay sculpturing too. You can also use a paintbrush, dowel or even a pencil)
Iron
Ironing board
Ruler (I used a square)

These boxes are awesomely durable! I am using one that my daughter did approx. 20 years ago.
