There are many designs of gift pillow boxes to choose from. There are also plain gift boxes in solid colors should you desire to dress one up yourself.
This type of gift box is one of the easiest gift boxes to make. What you will need are things that you already have at home --- 6"x 6" scrapbook paper, a glue, a pair of scissors, a compact disc or any round object, a ruler, and a plastic knife or fork or any blunt object that you can use to score the paper with.
The first step is to place the scrapbook paper face down on your working area. Next, position the ruler about one-fourth inch from the edge and make a score line along with it. Fold the paper to where the scoreline is and apply glue on the other side of the fold. Fold the sheet over to the opposite side and press firmly to make a rectangular shape. Now place the compact disc or any round object on the shorter side of the paper and draw a line. The CD should be as close to the edge as possible, and positioned at the center. Make a line on both sides of the paper.
Now, cut along the lines and place the CD at the edge. Make a score line so that you have an eye-shaped section on the shorter side of the paper. Score the rest of the sides the same way and fold the edges to where the score lines are.
Your pillow box is now finished, and you can embellish it any way you want.
