I’ve put together a step-by-step video tutorial to show you how to create these small yet thoughtful Christmas boxes. Let me introduce you to the process!
What’s Inside This Project?
In this project, I crafted a lovely Christmas-themed tealight candle gift box using kraft card stock as a sturdy base. I chose the enchanting Stamperia Nutcracker Collection for decoration, which adds a whimsical and vintage Christmas charm to the design. For that extra touch of elegance, each box includes a miniature metal handle on the drawer, adding functionality and sophistication.

- Reusable & Keepsake: Once the candles are gone, the box can be reused to store little trinkets or Christmas ornaments, making it a gift that keeps on giving.

In my video, I’ll guide you through the entire process, from constructing the kraft card base to carefully layering the embellishments from the Nutcracker collection. You’ll see how to:
- Assemble the base and drawer of the box, making it sturdy and durable.
- Decorate with embellishments to bring the Nutcracker theme to life, creating a festive scene that’s full of texture and color.
