LOSTies did a round of Secret Sister, and I made these little gift boxes for mine. They all have all the gifts I got her in them!
How I made these... I just pretty much followed the directions for a 2-5-7-10 box 2-5-7-10 Box Tutorials at Splitcoaststampers and varied the sizes as I needed. It was just trial and error until I got what I wanted... many pieces of cardstocked were sacrificed. ;)
My suggestion is if you want to make graduated boxes is that you first determine the size of the largest box you need, and then the size of the smallest box you need, by measuring the items that they will contain. I mistakenly did not do this when I first attempted to do a stack of five, and the result was a box that was too small for my gift. Once you have your measurements for you smallest and largest, graduate the middle boxes by 1/4 to 1/2 of an inch. On my stack of three, I graduated the boxes length and width by 1/2 inch, and the depth by 1/4. Then I made a sleeve of pattered paper for all of them, they actually hold the boxes closed.
The largest box in the picture is actually made with two pieces of cardstock to get the size I wanted. The gift bag is a size variation of the Paper Crafts tote bag. Forums at Splitcoaststampers

Friends are like the walls of a house. Sometimes they hold you up, sometimes you lean on them. But sometimes, it's enough to know they're just standing by.
