I’m so pleased with this little project! I collaborated with Jordan of Polkadot Prints to design a darling house-shaped gift box that is as easy as pie to put together. You’ll want to make one for neighbors, postal workers, teachers — pretty much everyone you know!
Simply print off the free template, cut it out and double-side tape it together.
Fill your house gift boxes with a few small treats and your gift-giving list is done in a flash!
SUPPLIES FOR YOUR HOUSE GIFT BOXES:
-Printable house template
-Scissors
-X-acto blade
-Double-sided tape
-Ruler & scoring tool
Print the house gift box template. Cut out the house and wreath.
If you prefer, use the X-acto knife to cut out the window panes. The box will still be perfectly cute if the panes aren’t cut. : )
With the ruler and scoring tool, score the house template on all the dotted lines.
Fold on the newly scored lines.
Add a piece of double-sided tape to the small tab.
Connect it with the other side of the house, as seen above.
Fold the bottom flaps in and use double-sided tape to hold it closed.
Add a piece of tape to the backside of the wreath and stick it in place.
Fill the house gift boxes with a few small treats or a small gift. Add one more piece of tape to the top flaps and pinch the roof closed.
Give to all!

THESE HOUSE GIFT BOXES WOULD ALSO BE GREAT FOR:
– Christmas party favors
– Teachers, delivery persons, newspaper delivery person, neighbors…the list goes on!
– Schoolmates! They are the perfect size for little hands.
P.S. — We love making gifts! You can find all the posts in this series here.

But with Nexus Radio the only settings you have to worry about are where you want
to save your files and what file type you want to save it as.
This means that everyone in the whole wide world can access this
new kind of radio and you are assured that the programs as well as
the list of radio stations you are listening to are all automatically updated.
Another radio commercial production tip to chew
on is to make sure the audio quality is excellent on any spot your produce.
the cutest gift box! thanks for the template! you’re awesome :)
I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting my own blog and was wondering what all is needed to get setup? I’m assuming having a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny?
I’m not very internet savvy so I’m not 100% sure. Any suggestions or advice would be
greatly appreciated. Many thanks

so cute and easy.good idea for a little gift. thanks for sharing. I ll take note for a future post. and for sure I ll pin it.
Great idea! Thank you –
My daughters have a lot of non-Christians in their class at school, so these will fit the bill perfectly for a winter-themed gift (versus a Christmas present).
Can’t wait to start crafting them!

I do agree with all of the ideas you have
introduced for your post. They’re really convincing and can certainly work.
Nonetheless, the posts are too short for novices. May you
please prolong them a little from subsequent time?
Thanks for the post.
It’s great idea, but I had to print this in two pages, because it’s to small for my cookies :)
thanks for this gorgeous printable. we made these and gifted to my son’s kindy class today. we filled with biscuits that we made.
I did a blog post and linked it back to your printable as the houses were a big hit!

I love your template! I am planning on making several hundred to give out as gifts to our volunteers and donors.
I have to thank you so much!! Here recently, I’ve gotten into decorating gifts. Monsters was the first things I got into. They were awesome, but, my son had to go to a party for a boy turning 6. He got the boy a Hot Wheels set. At first I was just going to do a road with extra cars stuck to it like I’d seen on Pinterest. But, then I was browsing paper crafts and it dawned on me. I’ve used printable boxes for treats in the past. Why not see if there were some sort of little houses and that’s when I stumbled onto your blog. And the houses were the perfect size to put extra hot wheels into. The gift grew from there till there was even a firehouse! (Firehouse was actually one of your school boxes done in red!) it even had a fire truck inside. It turned out so awesome that the party place thought it was a decoration! The boy loved his gift. Thanks for making Hot Wheels turn into a special gift! :) The website is actually a link to a pic on my photobucket so you can see it if you’d like. The pic doesn’t do it justice, but, it’s adorable! Thank you so much for the printables!
Thank you for your sharing !

Wonderful project! I made these little house boxes for my kids’ kindergartenmates and we brought them this morning. Without knowing what’s inside, the children were already happy to hold them in their hands. Their smiles were pure delight to me. This is indeed the perfect gift. Thank you very much for sharing! Joyeux Noël et bonnes fêtes de fin d’année !
