Sometimes the little things make the biggest impression. This DIY paper box isn’t just functional, it’s memorable. Here’s why:

For Cricut users: use SVG cutting file named “Cricut SOLID score lines” if you want to use score tool with your Cricut machine. Yes, you have to “attach” the score lines to the cut lines manually in your Cricut Design Space – this is how Cricut program works. If you don’t know how to use Attach in Design Space, please read the instructions on the Cricut website
What You’ll Need
Before we jump into the how-to, here’s the quick checklist:
- Cardstock: Go for medium-weight cardstock (30x30cm (12 x 12 inches) works great).
- Cutting machine: A Cricut, Silhouette, or another machine that supports SVG and DXF files.
- Glue: To secure the edges neatly.
- My 3D Chocolate Bar Box cutting file: Designed to make your life easier. Download it, load it, and start cutting.
Optional: embellishments like ribbons, stickers, or gift tags to personalize your box further.
All parts of the cutting file are designed to fit on the Portrait size as well as Cameo 30 x 30 cm (12×12 inches) cutting mat.
So you can see that the box is big enough to hold quite big present or many small ones. It looks very realistic and you can also use it as a photo prop or party decoration.
The chocolate bar box is easy to assembly. In the end of this blog post you’ll find the video tutorial. On video I use the usual glue but I recommend to use hot glue gun especially if you take thick cardstock to make the box.
Creative Ways to Use the 3D Paper Chocolate Bar Gift Box

- Valentine’s Day: Use pinks, reds, and heart motifs for the ultimate love-filled treat.
