    If you guessed that I may not be a fan of the pattern on the Christmas boxes, you would be right. So my first step was to try and Wrapping decorative boxes

    Once all of my cuts were done, I used one of my favorite, Wrapping decorative boxes

    I folded over any sides that were left over, so they were kind of wrapped like a present, but kept a straight, flat edge on the side. And then I wrapped the leftover pieces inside the box. If you want to see exactly how I folded them, you can watch the video below!

    Finally, I glued those pieces in place and did the same thing on my final edge of the box.
