Extra Large Gift Box with Lid (finished size about 27"x19"x8")

Extra Large Gift Box with Lid

How to make your own extra large gift box with lid for that really big present that you want to WOW your recipient with. It takes 1 to 2 hours to make. Here are my sketchy notes:

Items you will need to complete this proect.

Buy 4 poster size sheets of foam core board.  Set one aside without changing it's size.

Cut 1/2" off two sides to create box bottom.

Create short sides of both lid and box bottom from one sheet of foam core.

Create long sides of both lid and box bottom from last sheet of foam core

Build walls of lid on top of lid piece (Upside down)
Connect everything with duct tape at all corners and edges.
Wrap finished lid with heavy duty wrapping paper of your choice,
glue all folds with Mod Podge or equal. Build the box the same way
so that the walls are sitting on top of the floor of the box, not beside it.

Finished box.  Lids fits snugly over box. Tie with wide satin ribbon.

Corner detail.  Fold paper over before finishing wrap for nice edge.
I didn't bother covering the bottom of the box, just the outer and inner walls.

Extra Large Gift Box with Lid.  Ta-Da!

Peek inside to see big gift all wrapped up pretty in layers of tissue.
