Considering that many of us lost an hour of sleep because of Daylight Savings – today’s Easy Like Sunday Morning post is super easy. So easy that you can probably do this while you catch a few extra z’s.
Of all the emails that come through to Damask Love, by far the most popular are questions about creating simple gift boxes. So today we’re tackling the simplest of gift boxes . Seriously, this is so easy. It’ll take you longer to read this post than it will for you to make your own.
If you don’t already own a scoring board – go get one asap. For real. Get up. Get out of bed. Run, don’t walk to the nearest craft store and pick one up. They are awesome and make for perfect creases every. single. time. I use my Mini Scoring Board daily.
Now that you know the process – go ahead and make a million or so. You know you want to. These boxes are great for gift packaging, but they are also perfect for organizing all those random supplies that pile up. I don’t know about you, but I have a ton tiny crafting supplies that desperately need a home. Most days I just move them from one spot to the next but now they have a designated place to live and their address is 123 Awesome Street.
With Spring knocking on our door, you can also use this same technique to pump out a slew of baskets. Just add a strip of cardstock to create a handle and you’re done!
Howdy, i read your blog from time to time and i own a similar one
and i was just curious if you get a lot of spam responses?
If so how do you reduce it, any plugin or anything you
can suggest? I get so much lately it’s driving me mad so any help is very much appreciated.
So easy and sweet!
AWESOME, Amber. Thanks for the easy tip. I could make a million to improve organization!!!
Thanks for sharing

Very cute and versatile!!
I love this, such a sweet idea, especially the basket. I love giving out little treats at the office but don’t want to spend a ton of time making the containers. This is just perfect.
This is super cute! I’m totally going to have to give it a try.
So cute! I have to make these ASAP. 🙂
I’m loving this series. I am re-doing my studio and you’re right: those little bits and pieces get in the way. Thanks for the clear tutorial!
How cute and easy. I almost love to read your words as much as your darling crafts. I think I will adopt you. 🙂
I always forget how easy it is to make your own boxes! This looks adorable – I like the string tied around it. Thanks for the inspiration!

Love the cute little basket and now I have Lionel Richie on the brain…thanks!
I never thought to cut on the diagonal for scoreboard boxes! Great trick
I believe everything posted made a great deal of sense.
However, what about this? suppose you were to create a killer post title?
I mean, I don’t want to tell you how to run your website, however suppose you added a title
that grabbed a person’s attention? I mean damask love | craft is in session is kinda boring.
You ought to look at Yahoo’s home page and watch how they write article titles to get people interested.
You might add a video or a pic or two to get readers interested about everything’ve written.
Just my opinion, it would bring your posts a little livelier.
Unquestionably imagine that which you said. Your favourite reason appeared to
be on the internet the simplest factor to consider of.
I say to you, I definitely get irked at the same time
as other people consider worries that they just don’t understand about.
You managed to hit the nail upon the highest as smartly as defined out the whole thing without
having side effect , other folks could take a signal.
Will probably be again to get more. Thank you
I really like your blog.. very nice colors & theme. Did you design this website yourself or did you hire someone to do
it for you? Plz reply as I’m looking to construct my own blog and would like to find
out where u got this from. kudos
The only thing that could be more simple would be to USE AN ACTUAL BOX!
I was cruising around looking for box templates and this just fit the bill.I re-use boxes this size for my (Little boxes of Joy).If you have time I would appreciate any insight for more Little boxes like this that are super simple to put together.
Thank you for sharing.
Love your blog

If you were going to use this box as a LID, how much smaller would you make the bottom?
I wanted to know the same thing. Did you ever figure it out? I’m going to mess with it today.
How much bigger do you make the top of the box?
thank you for this idia
