Exciting Little Gift Box Idea!

I just made this adorable gift box/basket using today’s NEW patchwork paper, and I couldn’t wait to share! There’s a sweet little spot to the left of the Patio rose where you can pop in a tiny box of chocolates—making it the perfect mini gift that’s full of charm.

We have lots of colours and styles available, you can find all of the Quilted Companion Patchwork Papers Here

I crafted this box / basket using my Topscore Scoreboard from Crafters Companion, which comes with a handy instruction guide for box-making. Plus, Crafters Companion has loads of step-by-step box-making videos on YouTube to guide you through the construction. Honestly, you’ll be amazed at how quick and easy these boxes are to make!

Craft Fair Tip: These little beauties are a real crowd-pleaser! They look irresistible on a table and can be filled with almost anything:

Plants & flowers – fresh or artificial (Tip: if using real plants or flowers, wrap them in cellophane to prevent the box from getting wet).
Sweets & biscuits – always a winner!
Chocolates - perfect for easter as well!
Fruit – reinforce the box with stronger card for extra stability or decorate a box you already have. Im sure we all have amazon boxes lying around!
Toiletries or candles – personalise for a thoughtful touch.
Baby shower gift - fill with baby items

These boxes aren’t just pretty—they’re versatile, fun, and perfect for gifting. Whether you’re making them for craft fairs, friends, or just a little treat for yourself, they’re sure to delight anyone who receives them!

Let’s Talk About Those Flowers! April 28, 2026 Pretty Carnations Card So Many Questions… Let’s Talk About Those Flowers! 💙🍃 I recently shared a card over on Facebook, and I honestly wasn’t expecting the response it received!

Flowers have always been a huge part of my life. As a fully qualified florist, I spent many years surrounded by beautiful blooms every single day.
