The New Hotness

The process:

• Fetch a printable wrapping paper pattern, ignore the watermark
• Resize / crop to fit a Letter page, print two copies on glossy photo paper
• Generate a suitable multi-sheet paper box in SVG format
• Import into LightBurn
• Rearrange / splice the parts to put the main box on one Letter size sheet and the end caps on another
• Fire The Laser to score (blue lines) and cut (red lines) the paper
• Assemble using a glue stick
• Fill with Christmasy stuff (your choice may vary)
• Tuck the flap, there’s no need to wrap!

The rearranged main box just barely fits across a Letter page:

You can make many more end caps than you need:

Obviously, this makes no sense whatsoever in terms of box making, but the recipient smiled and that’s what I wanted.
