It is easier to make gift
boxes and candy boxes. All you need are printed templates, scissors, cardstock,
punch and ribbons to add color. Some gift boxes will require you to add glue,
but others do not require glue, and instead, wrap up easily with the left top
part interlacing with the left part. Below is a roundup of some simple DIY gift

wedding and Christmas gifts and the good thing is, you get to choose your
