Description
I learned to make these in primary school, and they've been a lifesaver ever since. I'm completely useless with wrapping paper, so often make these when I have odd-shaped gifts to wrap.
They make great gift boxes, especially if you make them using nice card or scrapbook paper. 
Share and enjoy!

Thank you so much for this wonderful tutorial. I was able to quickly make 12 of them and decorate them with stickers for a pot luck homecoming dinner in the morning (it's 2:30 am) I needed something to put the mints in on the tables and it was too late to go shopping. You are a life saver
