I’m so pleased with this little project! I collaborated with Jordan of Polkadot Prints to design a darling house-shaped gift box that is as easy as pie to put together. You’ll want to make one for neighbors, postal workers, teachers — pretty much everyone you know!

If you prefer, use the X-acto knife to cut out the window panes. The box will still be perfectly cute if the panes aren’t cut. : )

With the ruler and scoring tool, score the house template on all the dotted lines.

  5. Thank you Gabrielle, for making this available as a print out. I found it on Pinterest in 2018 and have made lots of these little boxes as table favours for the children at out family Christmas dinner this year. They are adorable and big enough to fit a nice little gift inside. Once again, thank you.

  6. This whole year my plan was to give small “side” gifts in little houses and this is absolutely perfect! Thank you so much for all the effort, the house is precious 😍

  7. I am going to try and use the template shape and make a miniature Little Library (like the one’s you see in neighborhoods) for the librarian at the elementary school I work at. I will trace it on cardboard or maybe cardstock and then cut the door out on the side where you have the window images. The door will have a clear window and I will make miniature books to go inside.

    She will love it.
