How to make a pillow box

  1. Set the width and length of the face, and the puff: how thick the box gets in the middle.
  2. Download the SVG and upload it to Design Space. Click the fold lines layer and change its operation from Basic Cut to Score, then select everything and click Attach so the folds stay in place.
  3. Cut on cardstock (65–80 lb bends best). Fold the long score line in the middle, then glue the side flap inside the other edge.
  4. Press the curved ends in, one side then the other: they close the box with no glue. Push them open again to fill it.
  5. Want a name? Type it in the maker: it can be cut through the front as a window, or as its own piece in another color. For more lettering, try the name maker.
