Here's a sweet re-usable pillow box. There's a woven design on the front - a simple flower. A gift tag is included, too.

Here's your free print-and-cut design:

To make the pillow box:

1 Print the design on photocopier card.

2 Cut on the red lines, score the curved lines.

3 Weave the front of the box: starting from the lefthand side, light pink piece underneath - weave first strip under over under; weave the middle strip over under over; weave the righthand strip under over under. True up the strips, then tape on the wrong side with magic tape to secure.

4 Score and fold the top and bottom margins on the woven pillow box piece. Glue a marquise shape onto either side of the front, matching edges.

5 Glue front to back of pillow box.

Fold in the sides to plump up the pillow box.

You can add a ribbon handle for a mini-purse look.

Happy paper weaving!
