If you already know exactly what you want to give your mom, then you just need to choose the right box for it. Of course, you can go to any flower or soft toy store and find a department there where gifts are wrapped. Here you will find many options for wrapping paper and boxes that can accommodate your gift.

On all four long pieces, make many vertical cuts before the fold. Glue the wider pieces to the smaller heart so that the cuts are on the back side. Details are shown in the video.

To get the box lid, make the same vertical cuts on the narrow parts. Glue these parts to another heart so that the cuts are on the inside. Close the box with the resulting lid.
