Heart-Shaped Gift Box
It's easy to make a clasping heart box perfect for storing jewelry, specialty foods, or other small items. You don't even have to fold it.

On one end of the strip, fray or tie a knot to hold it temporarily in place. Then use this fanned-out edge to trace your design onto the front side of the front panel. Use buttons or fabric to add a little flair. You can even make it with the decorative paper if you like.
