Tutorial | DIY Mini Milk Carton Gift Boxes

February 18, 2015 by Francine Clouden

These mini milk carton gift boxes over at Gathering Beauty can be used for all sorts of things. They would make great treat bags for birthday parties, or just as a special way to give some candies or cookies to a friend (chocolate eggs for Easter maybe?). You can learn how to make them from scratch using patterned scrapbook paper, and a scoring board (or just use a bone folder and ruler with your cutting mat). Emma explains exactly how to fold and cut your paper to construct them. And once you get the hang of it, you can make them in different sizes!

Travel Tag Mini Scrapbook Album

Andrea used the Fun Times collection from Simple Stories to create this fabulous mini Travel Tag album. She even found a cute tiny plastic suitcase to fit it inside of, decorating the outside with a few chipboard elements and a scalloped border.

The album itself has different siezd and shaped pages, some rectangle, some tag shaped, some with scalloped edges but all stitched around the edges. It’s held together at the top with a metal “O” ring.

The pages have 3″ x 2 1/2″ photos that are accented with metal buttons, vintage cameras, floral and map papers, chipboard embellishments, tabs, labels and travel related designs in fun retro color combinations.

She’s even included some fun interactive pages too for a really cool tiny but mighty album design.

Learn more and check out the entire project over at the Simple Stories blog.
