Graduation Cap Gift Box

This easy to assemble gift box has the look of a graduation ‘mortar board’ cap. It features a cute paper tassel, and is designed by Esselle Crafts. Perfect for academic celebrations, it can be made in any colour scheme you choose, and can be filled to the brim with sweets, small treats or congratulatory messages!
The download comes with 2 SVG versions of the template.

There is a small version and a large version. Both versions contains 2 SVGs – one with solid score lines (for cutting machines that can score) and one with the more traditional dashed lines, which your machine will cut out as small perforations. The large version is split so that a larger box can be made on a 12 x 12 inch mat.

The download also comes with 2 black and white PDF templates (outline only), which will create a hexagonal box measuring approximately 7.2 x 6.3 x 4.7cm, and the top square will measure approximately 9.3 x 9.3cm. This is only meant as a guide, as the templates can easily be re-sized before printing to suit your needs.

Step by step assembly instructions are also included in the download as a separate PDF file. All of the instructions are written clearly in English.
