A paper-cut gift box works twice: as a decoration, and as the topper on an actual present.

What’s Inside
- Gift Box · Plain Cut — a single, bold motif
One ready-to-cut design: Gift Box · Plain Cut. The pack includes the cut-ready file plus a line-art sheet for tracing and colouring. The ribbon cross over the lid is drawn as open slots, so the bow reads even in a single flat colour.
Three Ways to Use It
1. Cut it with a Cricut or Silhouette
The file is closed-path vector art with no overlapping lines, exactly what cutting software expects. Scale to your cardstock and cut from 80 gsm upward; a fine-point blade handles it cleanly.
2. Cut it by hand
Print at 100%, staple the sheet to a folded square of paper, and cut through both layers. Most people finish in well under half an hour.
3. Trace and colour
The line-art sheet doubles as a colouring and tracing page, a ready-made activity for classroom or family craft time.
Materials
Red cardstock or origami paper (80–160 gsm) · scissors or a craft knife · a printer · double-sided tape. Add a Cricut or Silhouette if you would rather not cut by hand.
Best For
Gift toppers, cards, wrapping accents and window displays.
FAQ
Can I use it as an actual gift topper? Yes – cut it at 8-10 cm and glue it straight onto the parcel.
Is the bow separate? No, the ribbon and box are one closed path.
What colours work? Red, kraft brown or metallic gold all read well.
