I bought a book at Kinokuniya in New York that has hundreds of 3-D packaging forms, covering lots of shapes and purposes. I think it's one of the best book investments I've ever made. I put together one of the forms as packaging for the boxer shorts that I'm going to give my husband for Valentines Day.





I'll be using some green cardstock that I screen printed with a decorative pattern. After resizing the patterns from the CD included with the book, I printed it on the back of the cardstock.



I used a craft knife to cut out the box and a bone folder to crease along the folds. Ordinary Elmer's glue is what holds the box together.



I glued in a cut-up sandwich bag to form the transparent window. After everything dried I wedged Clark's boxer shorts into place.
