A small gift is made extra special when it is presented in neat little gift box. It’s easy to make a pillow box from a cardboard tube.
You will need:
• Cardboard tube • Scissors • Gift wrap or coloured paper • Glue stick • Ribbons
• Googly eyes
Method: Choose a cardboard tube big enough to fir your gift. Fold in a side at one end of the tube. Then turn the tube over to fold in the opposite side. Fold the other end of the tube in the same way. Cut a piece of gift wrap to fit around the box. Glue it onto the box. Open one end of the box and pop in the present. Tie a ribbon around the box to finish, or decorate with googly eyes and paper wings to make a cute owl or bird.
