Cant get online for the time being so am playing a bit more with gimp. I have a couple of Christmas projects and I desperately need tutorials for boxes, (not cubes) unwrapping boxes. I cannot access youtube and was hoping if a pdf was available it could be posted to my email.
Thanks

Present boxes.
Sorry, thought Christmas may have conveyed that. Any way i can put patterns on them. I need a tut showing them unwrapped but so you can tell they were.

Sorry if I dound a bit short but I am frustrated with no internet access. My ISP has had a couple of weeks to check my lines and from sporadic access I have gone down to none. Paying for not using it.

If you're good with the paths tool, you can create any kind of gift box you need.

Still offline.
I couldnt find a tut for what I wanted so used the 'render - image object' after I had made a square with the design I wanted on it . Then i page curled the 4 corners. This made the box look like it was being unwrapped.

Sorry about your internet status Sallyanne; hope it will soon be remedied. Is the link below what you are looking for? I seem to recall there was a Script-fu that could do this but alas, I have no idea where I saw it. :)

Thanks for that link Lyle. I will have a closer look at it later. I didn't want to do a cube {square box} but something a little more rectangular...or a open box & lid.
I'll show you what I have eventually done....using a cube :oops: It is part of our Christmas logo.

I have been got back online for now although at a slow speed.
