I like to use poster board for the ornaments because it’s sturdy and cheap! Cardstock works well too.įor the box bases, use light paper. Heavy cardstock ( such as scrapbooking paper or paper that’s 200-300 gsm) works well for the sides, lids, pockets, and petal envelopes. Otherwise, you might be spending a lot of time thumbing through your entire paper collection (or perhaps that’s only me…) It makes it much easier to coordinate colors when you have a set of paper to choose from. This is going to be a Winter-theme/Holiday Explosion Box, so I’m using all different types of blue and white papers.
