If you want to give importance to the most simple and little gift or a souvenir, then it must be packaged in an original way. Having made the packaging with your own hands, you will put your individuality and creativity into it. Such packaging in itself will already be a good addition to the gift.
In this master class, you will learn how to make a gift box do-it-yourself origami technique. Such a box is also suitable for valuable gifts, but small in size, such as jewelry or jewelry.

How to make a gift box

So, to make a gift box, you will need:
- 2 sheets of colored cardboard (this MK uses double-sided paper with a different pattern);
- ruler, pencil, scissors, double-sided tape or glue.

If you do not have beautiful colored paper, but you can print on a color printer, you can download it on our website. For example, the paper for this tutorial is printed using the templates found in the " " topic. Only registered users can download any files on our forum.

STEP 1. Cut out a square from one sheet of paper and draw two diagonal lines on its inner side. Now we bend all four corners to the middle. Everything must be done very carefully, slowly, precisely combining the corners. I recommend smoothing the folds of paper with some smooth, flat object. For these purposes, I use a plastic spatula for applying depilatory cream. If you have special tools, that's even better.

STEP 2. We unfold all the corners back. Now we bend each corner to the fold line, which runs exactly through the middle of the sides of the square.

Then we make another bend already along the finished fold line.

And we make another bend to the diagonal line of the square. Remember to smooth all fold lines. We unbend all this and do this procedure with each of the remaining sides of the square.

STEP 3. As a result, with front side should be the following. We make cuts on the workpiece along the red lines marked in the photo, but without going beyond the red dots.

This is what the cut sheet looks like inside.

STEP 4. We form the sides of the box - add the corners A and B. Angles C and D are not touched yet.

We do the same with the opposite corner B. And then we bend the corners C and D inward. To make the box more durable and not “spread”, we fix the inner sides with glue or double-sided tape.

One part of the box is ready. Let's say this is a box lid, but you still need to make the box itself, where the gift will lie. You can make another one of the same box, only reduce the side of the sheet by 1 cm so that the boxes fit freely on top of each other. But here it is worth considering that the second box will be approximately the same height (or maybe even less) of the lid. Therefore, I offer you the following option.

Take the second sheet of paper. Now it's better to make the front the other side of the paper so that the box itself and the lid as a result are different. cut out a square of their sheet, each side of which is divided into three even parts. Connect the marked points with lines and make fold lines on the inside.

In almost every home there are a thousand little things for which you need to find a place to store and so that such a container fits logically into the interior of the room. The easiest option is to make decorative boxes with your own hands from improvised materials, they can be decorated in suitable color Or use fabric with a pattern.

Decorating the finished box (MK)

Using a ready-made packing box (most often from under shoes) will be an ideal option for storing the necessary little things. You can also use cardboard boxes for paper, household appliances, dishes or other right size.

To decorate such a box, materials are suitable: colored paper (plain or for decoupage), colored cardboard, ribbons, sparkles and beads, seashells, coins, etc. In such a situation, it is best to use any imagination, but with the condition that the box harmoniously fit into the interior of the room. Most often, the box is sheathed or pasted over with a cloth, you can use a piece of foam rubber for softness.

If the box is intended for small things, then inside you can use sheets of cardboard to divide the space into several compartments of various sizes.

When choosing a box, you need to consider its purpose:

determine the desired size;
the box can be taken from under the paper, teapot or iron;
buy a piece of fabric of a suitable size and color, glue and sewing supplies.

Any cardboard box will do.

The fabric is most often glued or sewn on both the outside and the inside of the box for softness. Here step-by-step instruction how to do it:

1. You need to make measurements of the box from all sides and cut the fabric according to these dimensions.

2. Sew the prepared pieces of fabric. The material can be taken in one color or for different parties- contrasting tones (choice of your choice).

3. All sides of the box are smeared with glue, and the fabric is glued to the box.

4. After drying, the internal and external seams are sewn with a needle manually.

5. If necessary, you can make handles from colored braid for the box.

6. Decoration of the box - a flight of fancy.

Boxes of various materials

For the manufacture of boxes for books, linen, shoes or various small things that are necessary in every home, you can use various materials. It may not necessarily be cardboard, other products suitable for hardness, density and texture are quite suitable.

From cardboard

Do-it-yourself decorative boxes made of cardboard or thick paper can be of any shape - from the classic parallelepiped, cube to original form(heart, star, oval, etc.). The principle of manufacturing the product is very simple. First you need to draw the details of the future box, taking into account the allowances for gluing. Then cut and connect with glue. Such a box can be closed with a magnet, Velcro or a conventional removable lid of the same shape. The decor of such a box depends entirely on the taste of the hostess.

An example of creating a cardboard box

From wood or birch

Do-it-yourself boxes made of birch bark are now very popular. They are woven from birch bark strips or woven in the shape of a box. Details in such birch bark baskets can be fastened with a fishing line. To make wooden boxes, you will most likely need man's hands, which will help cut sheets from plywood or a small board. For fastening and cutting patterns on the lid, it is also better to involve a man.

From newspapers

Another interesting option(but laborious) - weaving baskets from newspaper tubes. Manufacturing technology is as follows:

1. The tubes are prepared separately in in large numbers. They are wound on an iron needle, the tip is fixed with glue.

3. The strongest tubes are glued to the base (box), retreating a few cm between adjacent ones.

4. Then the process of braiding the base begins directly (according to the principle of basket weaving).

5. After finishing, the edges of the tubes are either fixed with tweezers inside or cut off. The resulting wicker box is dyed and decorated with pieces of fabric, ribbons, shells, etc.

From plastic bottles

Bottle boxes are made using the middle part, which is cut out and rectangular parts are made:

In total, you need to prepare 6 parts for the box.

With the help of a hole punch, holes are cut in each such blank around the entire perimeter.

Then the parts are crocheted and connected with threads.

Small sidewalls are also made for the lid so that it tightly closes the box.

Further decoration of the casket-box is a flight of fantasy of the hostess.

Boxes for linen (MK)

Such decorative boxes for storing books, shoes, underwear and various small things can be made in large quantities, for this there are many various options. One of practical options for the dressing room - a whole set of boxes with inscriptions or with a photo of shoes, so as not to look for the right pair every time. Standard shoe packaging boxes are used here, preferably one size.

Very necessary thing in the women's wardrobe - a laundry organizer box with different cells for each item of clothing. Such an organizer can be made again from cardboard:

1. It is necessary to accurately measure all dimensions inside the box: the frame of the box with cells must exactly match the dimensions so as not to move in the future.

2. Strips are cut out of cardboard, glued on both sides with paper or cloth, the frame must be carefully fastened, pasting all the corners from the inside and outside.

3. Strips for partitions are cut for cells, it is easiest to make cells of the same size.

4. Similarly, we glue the strips of cells on both sides, leaving 1 cm from each edge (ears) for gluing subsequently to the frame.

5. For fastening together in the strips, cuts are made at the right distance: in the longitudinal parts from the bottom, and in the transverse parts - from the top; the strips are inserted into each other through the slots - a lattice is obtained.

6. The grille is inserted into the frame and fixed with “ears” into the frame (glued or stapled).

Making a laundry storage box

Boxes with cells made in this way can be decorated by pasting over with colored paper and any decorative trifles (lace, ribbons, etc.).

By the same principle, a container for sewing supplies is made using a ready-made shoe box. Only cells are better different sizes(for scissors, pads with needles, coils). The lid in such a box is better to make a folding one and fasten it with a button.

The easiest way is to buy a ready-made box in the store. But a thing made with my own hands always unique and unrepeatable. Therefore, any housewife will prefer, with her work and imagination, to create the necessary boxes for storing all sorts of little things in her household on your own to save money.

A paper box is a very valuable item because it can be used as a place to put a gift. And to give a person a gift not openly, but in gift box i.e. in a box. It’s even more interesting, since any secret intrigues and arouses interest. Or you can store some of your things in it, for example, shoes. Almost everyone can create a paper box. There is nothing complicated in its creation.

How to make a paper box (1 way)

You will need: paper, jewelry, scissors.

1. First we make a lid from the box. To do this, we take paper measuring 21.5 cm by 21.5 cm and draw it diagonally. Lines connect opposite corners.

2. We bend one of the corners so that it looks to the center (to the place where our diagonal lines intersect). After that, we bend it again so that the edge of this fold is flush with the strip drawn in the center. Then we dissolve the figure and see that folds have formed, which we will need later.

3. The same thing that we did in paragraph two, we do with all other corners.

4. We make cuts on both sides as shown in the picture.

5. And we proceed to fold our craft in stages.

6. After creating the lid from the box, we proceed to create a bottom for it. To do this, we take a piece of paper with dimensions slightly less than 21.2 cm by 21.2 cm. The bottom is made in the same way as the lid. When creating it, one-color paper is taken, unlike the cover, when it is best to use something colorful, containing several colors, perhaps even some kind of picture.

So you made a paper box using our simple instructions. You can take other sizes for the box, but do not forget to make the bottom of the box 3 mm smaller than its lid.

How to make a paper box (2 way)

It will take a little patience and time, as well as thick paper of any color (can be used with patterns, or plain).

1. Since we are making a box square shape, then a sheet of paper, before starting to create crafts, also needs to be shaped like a square.

2. It is necessary to bend the paper square in half across and carefully smooth the fold line so that it is clearly visible. Expand the square and repeat the same, this time bending the sheet vertically. Unfold the workpiece. You should have a square with two intersecting lines.

3. Bend the square diagonally in half. Then straighten it and repeat the same for the other diagonal.

4. Bend each of the 4 corners of the square towards its center to form a diamond.

5. Bend back the two opposite corners of the rhombus so that the figure looks like something like a “candy”.

6. We bend vertically the side parts of the "candy" (that is, those that do not have sharp peaks) to form a right angle. We bend vertically in the same way as its sharp edges.

7. We bend both tops of the “candy” inside the box (first one, and then the second).

8. So you made a box. True, without a lid. The lid will also have to be done in the same way, but to create it, you need to take a square of paper a couple of millimeters larger so that it can close the box. To decorate the box in the future, you can use paints, ribbons, pieces of fabric or sparkles. Here you can show your imagination to the fullest.

How to make a paper box (3 way)

Such a box looks quite stylish and can become a real decoration for your room. To create it, it is preferable to use either colored or textured paper.

1. Fold a square sheet of paper in half.

2. Fold the resulting triangle in half again.

3. Expand the edge as shown in the figure below.

4. We do the same on the other side. The result is a double square.

5. We bend the corners in the same way as it is done in the figure below. We do the same for reverse side.

6. At this stage, you should have such a figure (see picture).

7. Unbend the bent corner along the marked lines.
