Project Overview & Aesthetic Design

Boutique mini gift boxes for jewelry, gift cards, or party favors. The hollow tube is creased on both ends to form a curved pillow box, wrapped in twine and sealed with stamped wax.

Step-by-Step DIY Execution Guide

  • Take an intact, unflattened toilet paper roll.

  • Use your thumbs to press the top and bottom circular rims inward along their natural curvature, creating overlapping crescent flaps on both ends.

  • Open the flaps and paint the exterior in soft pastel hues, or wrap the tube in decorative handmade paper using a glue stick.

  • Fold the bottom flaps closed, insert small gifts (jewelry, wrapped candies, or rolled notes), and fold the top flaps shut.

  • Wrap natural jute twine around the center of the box.

  • Drip metallic gold sealing wax over the twine and stamp with a personalized monogram or botanical seal.
