Don’t you just love giving handmade gifts to your loved one! These gifts are not only unique but they are special because they come straight from your heart.

Today I am sharing a wonderful handmade gift box idea. It’s the easiest and most fun to create craft using sharpie. Now you all must have seen sharpie mugs, sharpie ornaments, sharpie gift wrapping papers, sharpie plates and sharpie wall arts.

Here’s something different and simple to create using sharpie and a gift box.

There are tons of ways you can use a box as a gift. You can fill it up with chocolates, tea, coffee, craft supplies, school/ office supplies. Anything you think your receiver has all hearts for! The gift box adds that extra special look to your simple gift.

To turn a simple wooden box into a handmade gift box, here’s what I did!

DIY Gift Box Ideas

Materials You Will Need:

A wooden gift box (mine is from dollar store)
Sharpies, posca markers, or acrylic paint pens
Acrylic paints or spray paint (if you want to paint the box)
Foam brush
Stencil

Instructions:

Paint the box all white with spray paint or foam brush with acrylic paint and let it dry.
While it dries created your stencil and cut it using your silhouette or cutting machine on vinyl sheet. You can download the stencil template HERE.
Now use acrylic pens or sharpie to decorate the box. I used red fine tip sharpie. If you are good at drawing use markers to free-hand draw a pattern.

Once you’re done. You can fill the box with different sorts of things.

This will make a great gift for teachers, coworkers, friends, neighbors and kids.

Here are the two I made.

The creative goodies gift box for my crafty friend. Unpack the chocolates and pack them in your gift box. Quality street and Lindt makes great choices. You can also go for more luxurious chocolates.
