Greetings to all of you, dear audience. Holidays never end for us all our lives - as soon as Someone’s Birthday has passed, the New Year has already arrived, and then there are other winter-spring holidays... And for each of them we give gifts that we want to present at least interestingly. And what if not a DIY gift box will help with this?

I myself really like to congratulate my relatives in an original way. It’s very nice to see the smiles of those you congratulate. And cute boxes always contribute to this! After all, they are the first thing that catches your eye when presenting a gift.

How to make a gift box with your own hands

Gift packaging can be very diverse. But there is one rule - the cardboard or paper from which you want to make a box must be of the required quality. Classic in this sense children's cardboard Not all fit.

Where can I get such cardboard or paper? First of all, in specialized stores for creativity or even scrapbooking separately. It’s good if there is such a store in the city, you say, but what if you don’t have one at hand or the prices are sky-high?

These leaves will be enough for you to make small souvenir boxes (for jewelry, sweets, toys, etc.). Your family will appreciate it

And now I suggest you start with the actual detailed photo master classes, which will include a diagram for creating each individual box.

Master classes on creating boxes from cardboard and paper

Small boxes

First of all, I want to give you 5 designs with very cute patterns that will make this wonderful packaging:

The first one has red roses. If you want to impress your lover, then she is definitely for you.

Principles of working with templates:

Print the layout you like on thick paper.
Cut out the future box along the contour and cut in those places where there are straight lines (focus on the light scans - the location of the lines is the same everywhere).
Fold the box along the dotted lines and glue it so that the parts with semicircular ends lie between the other two and the round ends point up.
That's it, all that remains is to bend the lid properly.

And again roses, but more delicate.

And now there are two options for Birthdays - candies with balls and lollipops.

Large rectangular

This is perfect for large gifts (for example, wall clocks). You will need specialized binding cardboard to make the box really convenient. By the way, binding cardboard can also be purchased in specialized stores or on Ali.

The incision sites are marked in orange. The lid can be made the same way, but with slightly larger dimensions (2-3 mm).

For a man

If the gift is intended for a man, then I suggest choosing one of the following options.

Simple shapes are on trend - this is proven by the following 4 templates for creating strict, classic boxes. For these you will again need thick cardboard.

If the gift is intended for a loved one, then there should be more than enough romance ^^ There are butterflies, and hearts, and all kinds of declarations of love. They can be made from thick cardboard or thick paper.

Heart

Heart boxes are very popular because you can use them to express your feelings. Or admit them

Cake

Are you getting ready for a party where everyone will need to be given a little surprise? Or maybe a wedding is planned? In both cases, cardboard pieces of cake will come to the rescue.

A beautiful and clear diagram is suitable for both the bottom and the lid.

Paper boxes

Boxes don't always need to be dense - sometimes it's enough just to create beautiful picture. Then I suggest you use this convenient scheme of 6 different packages:

If you are going to a child’s party (or maybe you want to please your child), then make him a cute box in the shape of an animal.

Give happy parents this boot. Follow the traditions: pink for girls, blue for boys.

Boxes for the New Year

The mood can be created not only with the help of gifts) Just look at these 8 lovely boxes, each of which can also be a great New Year's decoration

This is especially necessary if for some reason there is no New Year's tree. The main thing in this packaging is to trim the edges beautifully and neatly.

Snowflake

Of course, this box itself is wonderful, but the silver paint on the tips of the snowflakes can add some zest.

Tip: Give something in this package to a girl who loves Frozen.

Bag

For giving a gift - one of the simplest options.

Box of sweets

For all lovers of beautiful New Year's favors and quick handmade items! Take a plastic cup with a smooth surface, cut the edge and cut the edge.

Fold the cut pieces inward so that they cling to each other. Place some goodies inside and cover the top with something cute.

Another option for candy packaging is a donut. It is a little more labor-intensive, but more effective.

And, of course, the candy itself.

A slightly more modest pyramid from which you can build a geometric Christmas tree.

A few more boxes

Finally, there are 3 more boxes for you that did not fit into the previous groups.

How to decorate a box with your own hands

The design of the box can be very diverse - from simple shapes in the form of birds and hearts to intricate flowers and bows. I will write more about box decor in the future - don’t miss it.

You can make a sweet gift for a boy from marmalade in the form of a kebab. Such a sweet gift can be given not only to a child, but also to a boyfriend.

For such a gift, you need to prepare skewers, marmalade figures, bags for packaging, and glue.

We put marmalades on a skewer, alternating colors; we do not pierce the outermost marmalade all the way, so as not to pierce the packaging.

We wrap the resulting kebab in a transparent bag and tie it with a beautiful ribbon.

We make the frame of our car from polystyrene foam. We cut out wheels from cardboard and cover them with white paper, and attach sweets on top. We attach the wheels to the car, then cover the entire body with candies.

We decorate places for glass with foil. We glue eyes on the windshield of the car. To ensure the safety of the gift, you need to pack it in transparent mica and secure it with a beautiful ribbon.

We cut out a base for the camera from cardboard, paste it on both sides with chocolates and form a camera. On the front part we glue a coffee can, which will replace the photo lens. And the final touch is to secure the strap or ribbon with candy bars on top. The sweet gift is ready!

Sweet flowerbed as a gift

Cover the top of the pot with artificial grass or green velvet.

For sweets, you can make original sweet baskets with your own hands. To do this, we need the required number of balloons, chocolate, a tray or baking sheet, and a needle.

Melt the chocolate in a water bath. At this time, we inflate balloons of the same size as our planned baskets. Lubricate part of the ball with vegetable oil.

Pour one spoonful of melted chocolate mass onto a baking sheet, this will serve as a stand for our basket, then dip part of the ball, greased with butter, into chocolate and place it on the stand.

We give the chocolate mass time to harden, and pierce the ball with a needle or pin. We made great baskets or cups for sweets. You can fill such a stand with any delicious dessert or small sweets.

First of all, let's prepare Christmas balls. To do this, remove the top part of the balls with the Christmas tree fasteners, wash and dry.

Delicious rainbow - a sweet gift in a jar with your own hands.

We sort the dragees by color. We place chocolate medals in a golden wrapper at the bottom of the jar, then pour the dragees according to the colors of the rainbow - red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet.

The final piece will be a layer of marshmallow, which needs to be slightly pressed before closing the jar to compact the dragee to prevent mixing.

Sweet first aid kit to lift your spirits

You can give a sweet first aid kit to a person who is in a bad mood. It's very easy to do. We take a beautiful box, maybe a tin one.

And fill it to the top with various candies. We glue the inscription “cure for depression” or something like that, tie it beautiful ribbon and give it to the “sick”.

This gift will be a great way to cure a bad mood!

This box of goodies is made in 3 stages.

Stage No. 1. The design of the box itself.

To do this, you will need an unnecessary box (can be from under shoes) of a size at your discretion; a large sheet of fancy paper (for girls - pink-heart, for boys - a more restrained design). In my case, an imitation of a newspaper with an article about love. Pencil, ruler, glue, double-sided tape, scissors, fancy ribbon 2 meters.

We glue the box from the outside, going slightly inside. We do the same with the lid.

We glue a ribbon along the length and width to the lid (we fasten the ribbons inside the lid), divide the remaining ribbon into 3 parts and tie bows at the intersection of the glued ribbons.

You can cover the box with hearts, write wishes, etc. Decorate the box so that after the holiday it goes not to the trash bin, but to the shelf and keeps it inside. pleasant trifles your relationship (postcards, photographs, souvenirs, etc.)

Stage No. 2. Filling the first level of the box.

To do this, we need the future contents of the bottom layer of the box (in my case, these are my favorite chocolates - Twix, Snickers, Milka, Picnic; imported pineapple-mango jam, orange syrup). Or the first level of the box could contain the main (non-edible) gift (if there is one) or other nice little things. Next we will need fancy paper (I have soft green speckled paper), scissors, 3 meter ribbon (preferably different color), a sheet of paper for inscriptions, scissors, glue, symbolic stickers.

We wrap chocolates (and other gifts) like candy - we tie bows at the ends with a ribbon. We cut out the inscriptions pre-written on a separate piece of paper with curly scissors and glue them to the middle of the “candies.” It’s interesting if the inscription on the candy corresponds to the content, for example, I have an inscription for Twix - “So that your soulmate is always nearby.”

We cover the candies with hearts and place them tightly on the bottom of the box, so that there is at least 5 centimeters from the “tallest” gift to the top of the box. From the paper that was used to cover the box, cut out a rectangle with a length equal to the length of the box, but 5 cm wider. On both sides of the rectangle we bend the edges by 2.5 cm and place the “candies” on top, so that the folded edges of the rectangle are pressed against the sides of the box by the “candies”, thus obtaining an imaginary bottom.

Stage No. 3.

You will need paper baskets for baking cupcakes (muffins) and small candies/nuts. I used Skittles, gelatin bears, loose candied fruits, and black and white chocolate-covered nuts. We lay the baskets tightly on the “imaginary bottom”.

We pour small candies into them in random order, the more colorful, the more beautiful.

Gift packaging can be very diverse. But there is one rule - the cardboard or paper from which you want to make a box must be of the required quality. In this sense, classic children's cardboard is far from suitable.
