Do I get anything in the mail?
No. This is a digital method: you get instant access to every project, chart, guide and printable the moment you pay. Board and paper aren't included and nothing is shipped, so there's no waiting and no shipping cost.
I've never made a box. Can I really do this?
Yes. If you can measure with a ruler and cut a straight line, you can make a gift box. You start with Volume I, every piece is measured for you, and the diagram shows you what it should look like before you move on. Your first one takes the longest.
Aren't there free box tutorials online?
There are, usually for one size, and that's the problem. Change the size or the board and the lid won't close, and you've thrown away board and paper on a box you can't sell. You don't need another free video. You need every piece measured for you, and a plan to turn your boxes into extra income.
Will the lid really fit?
That's the whole point of the Cut-by-Numbers Board Chart. Every measurement already counts the thickness of the board and the little gap a lid needs to slide on. The Method also shows you how to check your board before you cut, so a different board doesn't throw you off.
What can I actually earn?
It depends on your hours. If you keep about $30 a box, 1 box a week works out to about $1,500 a year, and the holidays and wedding season run higher. Custom and wedding orders pay more. Results are not guaranteed and depend on your effort, prices and area.
$40 for a box? Who pays that?
Brides, mostly, and anyone who wants a gift to feel special. On wedding forums, brides talk about paying $20 to $40 for each bridesmaid box, and handmade keepsake boxes on Etsy run from about $36 to $110. A box in the exact size of the gift, in her colors, with a name on the lid is what they're paying for.
What do I need to start?
A cutting mat, a metal ruler, a craft knife, a bone folder, PVA glue and a brush, plus board and decorative paper. About $60 gets you set up and covers your first boxes. The starter list in Module 1 tells you exactly what to buy.
Do I need a Cricut or a cutting machine?
No. Every project is made with a ruler and a craft knife. If you already have a cutting machine you can use it, but nothing in the Method needs one.
What if nobody buys?
You start with people who already know you: friends, coworkers, church, the moms' group and your local Facebook group. A box with a gift inside does half the work, because people ask where you got it. The kit gives you the exact posts and messages, and you only buy more paper after you sell.
Where do I sell them?
Friends and word of mouth, Facebook Marketplace, holiday markets and craft fairs, bridal shops and wedding planners, bakeries and small brands, and Etsy. The Sell-Your-Boxes Kit shows you where to start in the first 30 days.
I can't compete with cheap store boxes.
You're not trying to. Store boxes are flimsy, come in a few sizes and say nothing. Nobody can buy a box in the exact size of a customer's gift, in her wedding colors, with her bridesmaid's name on the lid. You can. That's what people pay for.
I don't have time.
A classic box takes about an hour and a half once you've made one. Many women cut on a Saturday and assemble in the evenings, and you decide how many you make.
I've tried side hustles before.
MLMs make you buy stock and recruit your friends. This is the opposite: no stock, no recruiting, and you make something people keep for years.
Can I sell the projects?
No. You can sell as many boxes as you make, but the projects, charts and printables are for you. Sharing or reselling them isn't allowed.
Is it safe to buy online?
Yes. Checkout is secure, everything arrives in your email the moment you pay, and you're covered for 7 days.
And if it's not for me?
Your purchase is covered for 7 days. Open the Method, make a box, and if it isn't for you, send us one email and we'll refund you in full.
