DIY Christmas Gift Box

Make a fun and festive Christmas gift box using this free SVG file. This gift box is perfect for items such as gift cards and candy.

There are so many times that I go to wrap a Christmas gift and I just don’t have the right box to put it in. This is especially true when it comes to small gifts like gift cards or small amounts of candy. I really like to DIY and personalize my gift wrapping so buying a generic gift card holder just doesn’t cut it for me. That’s why I’m completely in love with this DIY Christmas gift box. It is the perfect size for small gifts and super easy to assemble.
