Handmade Inexpensive Gift Box Tutorial Great For Etsy Sellers

Keep you precious handmade products safe and present them beautifully without breaking the bank!


I decided that I am going to start sending all my jewellery that I sell on Etsy out in gift boxes to give it better presentation and also more importantly for added protection when it gets posted, after looking all over the internet I failed to find anything that was pretty but would not effect my overall postage prices, as my original idea was to keep my postage the same I just can't believe how expensive they are! So on my search of reasonably priced gift boxes I stumbled across this great tutorial on how you can make them yourself with two pieces of card, and a bit of ribbon to complete the box an inexpensive way to really put your own stamp on it, the simple card is transforms into a really professional looking gift box but also keeps it's handmade look, which with Etsy being focused on buyers who want a handmade look why not start it from the packaging. 
Find the link for the tutorial at the end of this post

Extra Ideas

Wading could also be added to the bottom of the box which is another product that can be inexpensively picked up
Print your favourite design or your brand onto the card
Start collecting stamps to decorate the plain card to give it a vintage feel you could even decorate it with some cute stickers

Best Cosplay Of The Week Powerpuff Girls Professor

The Powerpuff girls was a cartoon series from the 90s if you have never had the chance to watch it I highly recommend it!
Professor Utonium - Created the Powerpuff Girls with Sugar Spice and Everything nice but accidently added Chemical X
Blossom - The intelligent one, her colour is pink, and her special power is freezing things, Everything Nice
Buttercup - The tough, one her colour is green, and her special power is she can curl her tongue, Spice
Bubbles - The cute one, (my personal favourite) her colour is blue, and her special power is emitting supersonic sound waves with her voice as well as being able to speak Japanese, Spanish and to animals, Sugar
So now your familiar with the main characters I am going to share this amazing cosplay with you, this cosplay is so clever he didn't even forget the iconic pipe!I do not know who the person is in this picture but if you come across it and you know leave a comment so I can give you a shout out :) I found this on angelpink7 Deviant Art account which you can check out for more great cosplays the link is as follows - http://angelpink7.deviantart.com/
