To make this pillow box, all you need is: pretty paper to print on glue stick ruler paper scorer 1. Print out the pillow box template onto the blank side of your decorative paper. Cut around the edges of the template. You would find the template in the template section
2. Score along the dashed-edges of the template to make a crease. This will allow you to fold the box easily.
If you don't own a paper scorer, don't worry! I like to use the end of a crochet hook to score paper. Other items you can use are the edge of a blunt butter knife, a knitting needle, a pen lid, etc. Just something blunt but pointy that you can run along the edge of a ruler and will provide an indentation in the paper along which you can fold easily, but it won't actually tear your paper.
For the curved edges, just score small sections at a time by running your scoring implement back and forth along the dashed curved line in stages. This will provide a nice neat crease.
3. Glue along the outer flap of the pillow box template, on the decorative paper side.
Once the glue is added, simply fold this flap inwards, and allow it to adhere to the opposite inside edge of the box. Pop your flat pillow box under a heavy book while it dries.
Once dried, simply assemble your box by squeezing the long-edges together, and folding in the short edges along the curved creases.
