Very simple and less than $10 in cost, these modern decorations are perfect for any gift-giving occasion. To make these items, first download and print the desired template from the website. Follow the folding instructions and seal the edges with glue and a coat of latex paint. After the moulds are dry, you can fill them with either [wax or concrete](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soft-solids-1) depending on your desired outcome. Allow the contents in the moulds to dry and remove the card stock.
