Got all supplies and tools? Let’s start! First, take a sheet of paper and place it horizontally on a table. The side of paper facing you will be inside the box. Then, put a CD in the left top corner of your paper. Leave a distance from edges.
[/step]
[step=”full”]
Take a sharp pencil and mark center of your CD on the paper.
[/step]
[step=”full”]
Now, using a triangle, draw rectangular lines going through previously marked point. The triangle has to be placed along the edge of the paper. The lines should be longer than diameter of the CD.
[/step]

Place the CD back on the paper (with marked point in the center of a hole) and draw a circle with a sharpened pencil.
[/step]

Again, using a CD, draw half circles based on the points where circle and lines intersect. These shapes will form the sides of your gift box.

In the last quarter, draw a full circle using the bottom and the right points of intersection between the previous circle and rectangular lines.
[/step]

Using a triangle, draw rectangular lines inside second circle. In this case, lines are based on the points where two circles intersect.
[/step]

It’s time for drawing half circles in all quarters of the bottom circle :)

Scissors time! To make the cutting part more comfortable, leave some margin around.

Now, cut out the whole shape. Try to be as precise as you can.
[/step]
[step=”full”]
Take an empty pen and score every curved line using a CD. Place a piece of felt under the cut-out shape – it will help you in scoring the lines.
[/step]
[step=”full”]
You’re almost done! You just need to fold every single side shape of the box.
[/step]
[step=”full”]
…and form a shape of the box :)

[step=”full”]
Add a ribbon or decorative, colored string…
[/step]
[step=”full”]
…and a pom-pom :) (if you want to know how to make it go here)

Et voilà! Your fancy Square Pillow Gift Box is ready to be given to someone special :)
