Huge Hexagonal star top gift box tutorial

Recently I made what I called a Tall Octagonal gift box. Well, today I’ve reduced the number of sides but increased the dimensions . Here is my Huge Hexagonal star top gift box…

The finished box measures approx 5-1/2″ tall and has a base that’s approx x 3-1/2″ x 4″ so will fit lots of gorgeous gifts! Check my video to see what’s inside this one.

Here’s the awesome star shaped top…

And a close up of the super shiny decoration on the front…

The designer series paper, stamp set and dies I used to decorate this box are in the September to December 2023 mini catalogue that launches very soon.. Please check out the next version I made in my video tutorial.

Here’s the huge hexagonal star top gift box I made in the video, along with the one I made earlier…

I made my first one into a hand care gift package with all of this inside and there’s still room for some extra treats too…

To make the box in the video you’ll need the following supplies:

  • score on the short side at 2″, 4″, 5″ and 6″
  • score on the long side at 1/2″ and 6″
  • add in diagonal score lines as shown in the video
  • score on the long side from the cross point of the diagonal lines up to the top of the card
    • these should be at 1″, 3″ and 5″
• 2 pieces of Night of Navy card to create hexagons for the base measuring 3-1/2″ x 4″
  • mark the long side of them at 1″ and 3
  • mark the short side of them at 1-3/4″
  • cut off the corners between the marks as shown in the video
  • trim 1 of the hexagons down a little so it fits inside the box – again, see the video
