Gender Reveal Box DIY Instructions
- Put together your box and secure the bottom with tape
- Then, cut off two panels on the top of the box so there are only two panels remaining, across from each other. Be sure the two panels are able to touch when you fold them inward.
- Then cover the box with your selected paper or paint. If covering with paper, wrap it like a present. Use the tape to secure the wrapping paper to the box.
- Cut out small pieces of wrapping paper pieces and wrap them around the two top panels and secure them with the tape.
- Now decorate your box however you want! Glue your cutout to the front of the box or attach your stickers.
- Attach the helium balloons to the bottom of the box by their strings, using the tape. You don’t want to overfill it, because the balloons could get stuck and not come out. We recommend to use around 12-14 balloons.
- Use the tape to attach the strings along the bottom side of the two top panels. Then, tie the strings together so the balloons can’t be seen.
