Handmade gift packaging is more than just a pretty way of giving a gift. It’s a little piece of creativity, care and imagination that can become a keepsake in its own right. Imagine giving someone a beautifully handmade papercraft gift box, only to discover that they love it so much they want to keep it long after the gift has been opened! Creating your own gift packaging adds a personal touch that shop-bought wrapping simply can’t match. And perhaps the loveliest moment of all is when someone admires your creation and you get to smile and say, “I made that!”
All of the following papercraft gift packaging templates come as SVG cut files, with most of them also available as printable PDFs. They all come complete with easy to follow instructions in the download, and full access to a video tutorial, which will guide you through the process of assembling these beautiful, seasonal projects.
