Cuboid Gift Box

I've been asked several times whether it's possible to make a rectangular (cuboid) box using my heart favour (cube) box template.

Well, the answer is yes! And here's the result!

Aren't they cute?

Watch my video tutorial to see how I converted my cube box template:



To make one of these boxes, you will need:

* Heart Favour Box template (PDF and SVG available)
* Computer and printer to print the PDF template and instructions
* Digital cutting machine
* Double-sided cardstock / patterned card (220-250gsm / 80-92lb recommended)
* Lighter, double-sided card or paper for the bow )160-220gsm / 60-80lb recommended)
* Craft glue / double-sided tape

If you are not using a cutting machine you will also need:

* Craft knife / scissors
* Scoring tool
* Ruler

Although I converted my SVG template in Cricut Design Space, you could just as easily use the PDF template and stretch it (resize the width only) using something like Photoshop, before printing it out.

Let me know how it goes, and maybe I'll try a tall rectangular box next time, by resizing the height instead!
