Week 9 🤶 12 weeks of Christmas

Published: Wed, 11/24/21

Christmas is one month and one day away!!!! Are you ready? This project will help you get ready. You can use any 12" x 12" Christmas/Holiday patterned paper to create this cute box. (I know many of you love making boxes!!!) If you don't have a Tag Topper Punch, you can improvise by rounding the corners with a corner rounder punch or scissors, and use a regular hole punch to create the two holes on top.

It's a good size box that will hold a gift card, cash, little trinkets, sweets, a small bottle and such. The box measures 4-1/2" high, 2" wide and 2" deep.

Have fun creating & filling!
