Jigsaw GiftBox Tutorial

Hi welcome to the tutorial for my Jigsaw Giftbox. Each box measures 2"x2"x2" and is stackable. If you are interested in the inspiration for this box or to see more pictures, check out this post.



Tutorial :



  1. Start with this template for the box. You will need 2 of them. The little glue tabs can be 1/4" wide.


  2. You will also need nine pieces of these jigsaw shapes


  3. Assemble your bottom box by gluing up the tabs. Glue a Divider piece to the bottom.



  4. Add four Side pieces by interlocking the groves and glue to the box


  5. Place your second box on top



  6. Add the remaining four Side pieces. Slotting into the groove as shown so that it sits flush



  7. Glue the Side pieces to the box



  • Place the last Divider piece on top to complete your box.



    1. It was fun making this movie themed giftbox that slots together along its jigsaw groves. If you make one, leave me a comment. I'd love to come see your version.

      Hi, Sandy!!! Thanks so much for visiting me today and commenting on my "wax works" project!

      I just took a short tour of your blog, and I was having such a great time admiring and being inspired by your talent.

      The box on this post is super cute and I adore boxes! Well done!

      I hope you come visit with me again, I enjoyed having you and I'll be back to visit with you also. I looked but I don't see that I can follow you -- the record of who I follow helps me know where to return to instead of trying to remember where everyone is. Unfortunately, if you have a Google following list, I've missed it...lol!!!

      Anyway, love your blog and thanks again so much for visiting. Drop in anytime and make yourself at home!

      I'll be seeing you, my friend!

      Audrey Frelx said...
