Format:Paperback
This is a very useful little book with simple instructions which allow you to quite quickly create the boxes detailed on the cover. The equipment required is fairly minimal and inexpensive and templates are included. My only criticism of this book is that beyond the cover, the presentation of the contents is fairly dull with no colour photos and plain text - this is however very surmountable and the book certainly fulfils its purpose.

These little boxes will make the bridesmaid gifts (jewelry) just a little more special. Instead of paper, I'm going to use matching fabric from the bowls, vases, and flowers, so it will all go together, in my daughter's colors.

First part easy, second part complicated!
5 Aug 2011
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I bought this book because I wanted to try making gift boxes to sell them. Instructions are pretty clear and I could understand everything. All the gift boxes that are square or rectangle are not difficult to make. You need to enlarge the drawings to make them bigger and make sure everything fits well with the enlargement.
I did all the square and rectangle boxes, there are like 4 or 5 different types and I thought they looked nice, while you are putting them together, you learn some tricks and you find the best way for you to make them.
The second part of the book tries to teach you how to do oval boxes, heart-shaped boxes, round boxes, all the shapes you see in the front cover and I only tried doing one and it was so complicated I gave up. It is really difficult.
If you are looking to make only the square boxes, you will find the instructions are clear and it is not so complicated but trying to do the other shapes was impossible for me, very time consuming and a lot of work for a tiny little box.
I still gave it 4 starts because I think the book is really good, the instructions are clear but if you do not have the patience, then do not get into this.
