Kraft Pillow Boxes - Creative Gift Bags For Kids

Pillow Boxes offers several different colors such as custom blue color boxes and e-mail style color boxes for an even smaller 500 piece minimum. Add your company's logo to any of the boxes for a professional brand appearance. Most pillow boxes are made of light paperboard with varying thickness, glued and folded over normal flat cardboard. Some specialty boxes have real leather wrapped around the outside for a more upscale look.

Making Your Own Pillow Boxes is fun and rewarding! You can do this for your child or for your own personal use. There are many ways to design your pillow boxes. One of the best ways is to find a good large photo file or copy an image on your computer. You can then scan in that image and use a good, sturdy, easy-to-use pattern maker like the Craft Knife to make up a very personalized and unique pillowcase.

One way you can recycle pillow packaging is to make up some colorful drop sheets from old fabric pieces. This is especially helpful when you are out shopping for pillow boxes. You can either make the drop sheets or buy them already sewn together. The advantage of making up the squares is that you can easily change them out to add your favorite colors to match your current decorating theme.

When making up pillow boxes from a patterned sheet, you'll need a craft knife, fabric glue, toothpicks, tissue paper, measuring tape, and a soft fabric or chenille fabric. You'll need enough material for at least two square inches of extra material on each side of the outer back panel that will hold the foam in place. Using the toothpick, poke holes into the foam. Be sure to count how many holes you have made so you'll know how much tissue to buy and to sew the paper into the correct pattern.

Using the tissue or chenille fabric as your pattern, cut small squares from the backing sheet that form the sides of the pillow boxes. Using the foam as a stencil, trace the pattern onto the outer sides of one of the inner squares and then cut along the lines you've traced. You should end up with six evenly spaced holes for you to use toothpicks or cardboard to fill with your customized treats.

If you are making up larger pillows, such as those for children, you can simply turn your attention to cardboard pillow boxes instead. Cardboard is ideal because it is light, yet strong and easily turned into small squares that can fit into the mouths of small food items. These boxes can also be used to store books and small toys that get thrown around in the house. Just be sure not to leave food in the cardboard pillow boxes of children's snack boxes or else they could become ill!

Alternatively, there are many shapes and colors to choose from when making up small gifts such as pillow boxes. If you are a bit creatively inclined, why not create unique shape pillow boxes out of thin materials, such as felt, cloth, or recycled cardboard? You could also use a variety of materials to craft large pillow boxes such as gift boxes or favor boxes, or even fabric boxes. Fabric boxes are ideal for storing gift wrap paper and other small items that need to be kept dry, while felt, cardboard, and recycled materials are ideal for filling larger bags or bins, especially when you are making gift boxes.

The point of making up gift bags and bins for kids is to provide a fun and creative outlet for creativity. Why not consider using special food-safe polymer clay to make unique shape pillow boxes that can be personalized with the recipient's name? Simply dip the bottom of the box in the desired color of poly clay and glue on a special label. These are simple and easy to make, which is good news if you are short of time!
