Here's a stylishly easy 7" x 5-3/4" giant pillow box that is perfect for holiday DIY packaging! I made this many years ago and thought it was worth sharing again. There's no end to how it's decorated.
The pillow flaps are a simple score and folded over.
DIRECTIONS:
To make the pillow box use one 12"x12" cardstock that is scored and folded at 5-3/4".
TIP: Cut the pattern and cardstock at the same time! No tracing necessary.
Referring to the photo below, lay the pattern over the folded 12x12 paper and hold in place with paper clips along the fold lines. Note the two folded halves of the cardstock layers are 5-3/4 and 6-1/4. They measure exactly and no further cutting is needed along the right long side edge. You are cutting the curved ends and scoring where indicated. Also score along the long right side edge to form the tab.
