Choose A PaperFirst of all you need the main item for making a pillow box which is a printed cardstock or a paper that can be colored or covered later. Are you making custom printed pillow boxes for giveaways because if yes, you should get all the cardstock in a print that matches the theme?

What are the gifts that will go inside the packaging or the box? Gather them and put them right in front of your so that you have an idea of the volume of the gift so that you don’t end up making the wring side. Put them on the cardstock to roughly measure the area that needs to be marked. 3. Gather Decorations and EmbellishmentsUnlike the Pillow Boxes Wholesale, since we are making these boxes on our own we need to make them stand out by embellishing them and personalizing them.

Take the embellishments and stick them in an order with hot glue or use paints to decorate the boxes.
