How to fill a New Year's box. How to make a Christmas box with your own hands

Most often, we are used to packing only birthday gifts, but New Year's presents also need a beautiful design, for this they need a box. Do-it-yourself gift boxes, templates of which can be found in large numbers on the Internet, are becoming increasingly popular, and you can get a beautifully designed gift by spending a minimum amount of your free time.

Packing a small present

To begin with, it’s worth talking about what they are in general, because you can make packaging of different sizes and shapes, starting from an ordinary rectangle, and ending with an unusual heart. Today we are packing a very small gift for the New Year, so we need a round template, in this case the size is calculated from the volume of the future present, while for New Year's gifts it is not necessary to download a ready-made template from the Internet, future packaging can be drawn on cardboard with a compass, or circled disk.

It is also necessary to prepare a ruler, cardboard and colored paper, do not forget about scissors and a simple pencil, to decorate the future box, you should take paper with a New Year's theme. When the box is completed, it will be necessary to complete it with a bow, so it is recommended to purchase a ribbon and a bow in advance.

The process of creating a New Year's gift box is not difficult at all, so it is worth connecting a child of preschool or primary school age to the process. To begin with, a thick sheet of white cardboard is laid on a flat table, although any shade you like will do. Now you need an already prepared template that has a round shape, after that you need to draw the template so that it resembles two folded wedding rings. As soon as the process is completed, it is necessary to separate the edges of the circles, you will get four semicircular sectors, it turns out that a diamond appears in the center of each of the rings.

Next, scissors are taken, and with their help you can cut out the resulting blanks, after which you can bend the cardboard circle along the traced bends, this way you get a gift package, put a small gift inside it, and immediately after it is folded more tightly along the folds and tied with a ribbon, such packages look great not only as a gift box, but as decorations for the Christmas tree.

Christmas box in the form of a pyramid

As soon as everything is completely ready for the process of creating a New Year's box, you need to cut out a ready-made stencil from paper, you should find a suitable template, but you can easily draw such a box yourself. Now folds are made on each of the dotted lines so that the triangles are connected at the top of the box, and the bottom part comes out in the form of an even square or triangle, it all depends on which stencil was used. It is best to make four faces, since three of them will stick together, and the fourth will act as a lid for this craft.

After that, you can take a ribbon, with its help the workpiece is wrapped on all sides, and at the very top you can tie a knot, it is recommended to glue beautiful miniature Christmas tree balls to the box itself, beads and spruce decorative sprigs are suitable for decoration. And to make the upper part look more attractive, the remains of the ribbon are decorated with large beads, for this it is enough just to string shiny and festive beads on the ribbons, if desired, you can simply tie the ribbon on a bow. Thus, we get a beautiful and bright box, if you wish, instead of a ribbon, you can simply paste over the box with New Year's paper, you will have to do this before cutting the blank according to the template.

In fact, there are many options for making beautiful and unusual New Year's gift boxes, on the Internet you can find template options for creating a round product, the packaging can also be created in the form of a Christmas tree, it's not difficult to do, just decorate the box in the form of a pyramid with tinsel .

For larger gifts, it is worth using large square boxes, they look attractive, it is advisable to decorate them with colorful New Year's paper so that they do not look boring. Some people prefer to present a gift certificate as a present, today this is the most relevant gift, for this reason it is necessary to make a small box to pack such a present.

The New Year is not so close yet, but not very far either, which means that you need to start preparing for it little by little. And, among other things, you need to think about what you will give to your loved ones. But at the same time, you need to think about the options for decorating your gifts. I propose to abandon standard paper bags and wrapping paper, and instead, make a beautiful New Year's box with your own hands, which will symbolize the New Year tree.

To make an original box, you will need:
- corrugated cardboard (or any other dense green cardboard);
- pencil;
- scissors;
- Ribbons, bows or any other pretty decorations

In order not to accidentally ruin the cardboard for the box, it is recommended that you first make a template on newspaper or other paper. To draw the template, use the diagram below, scaling it to the desired size:

When the diagram is ready, put it on the back of the cardboard and circle the outline with a pencil.

Then draw along the fold lines marked on the diagram, draw a non-writing ballpoint pen with some effort, using a ruler, so that the lines are even. Thanks to this, you can carefully fold the box in the right places.

When you are done with punching the lines by hand, bend the template along them.

Put the gift you are going to wrap in the middle.

Next, you should begin to assemble the walls of the box in turn, in accordance with the photographs attached below. After that, you can glue the edges with glue allowances (they should be inside), but this is not at all necessary if you are going to tie it with a ribbon, since in this case it will also keep its shape well.

Having united all the edges of the box, tie it with ribbon and tie a bow. You can decorate the box with small bows, streamers, etc.

Be sure that your friends will be very pleased to receive a New Year's gift in such a box.

Greetings to all of you, dear audience. Holidays do not end with us all our lives - only Someone's Birthday has passed, as the New Year has already come, and there are other winter-spring holidays ... And for each of them we give presents that we want to present at least interesting. And what if not a gift box with your own hands will help with this?

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

How to make a gift box with your own hands

Gift wrapping 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 right quality. In this sense, the classic children's cardboard is far from suitable.

Where can I get such cardboard or paper? First of all, in specialized stores for creativity or even scrapbooking separately. Well, if there is such a store in the city, you say, but what if there is no such store at hand or the prices are exorbitant?

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

And now I suggest that you proceed to the actual detailed photo master classes, in which there will also be a scheme for creating each individual box.

Master classes on creating cardboard and paper boxes

small boxes

First of all, I want to give you 5 unwrapped patterns with very cute patterns that will make such a wonderful package:

On the first of them - red roses. If you want to impress your lover, then this is for you.

Principles of working with templates:

Print your favorite scan on thick paper.
Cut out the future box along the contour and cut it in those places where straight lines pass (focus on light scans - the arrangement of the lines is the same everywhere).
Bend the box along the dotted lines and glue so that the semi-circular ends lie between the other two and the round ends point up.
Everything, it remains only to bend the lid properly.

And again roses, but more tender.

And now there are two options for the birthday - sweets with balls and lollipops.

Large rectangular

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

Incision sites are marked in orange. The lid can also be made, but with slightly larger dimensions (2-3 mm).

For a man

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

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

If the gift is intended for a lover, 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 with the help of them you can express your feelings. Or confess them

Cake

Getting ready for a big party where everyone needs a little surprise? Or maybe a wedding is planned? In both cases, cardboard pieces of cake will come to the rescue.

A beautiful and understandable scheme is suitable for both the bottom and the lid.

Paper boxes

Boxes do not always need to be tight - sometimes it is enough just to create a beautiful picture. Then I suggest you use this convenient scheme of 6 different packages:

If you are going to a holiday with a child (or maybe you want to please yours), then make him a cute box in the form of an animal.

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

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 Christmas decoration

Especially needed if for some reason there is no Christmas tree. The main thing in this package is to trim the edges nicely and neatly.

Snowflake

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

sachet

Giving a gift is one of the easiest options.

Box with sweets

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

Bend the cut pieces inward so that they cling to each other. Put the goodies inside and seal the top with something cute.

Another option for candy packaging is a donut. It is a little more laborious, but more effective.

How to decorate a box with your own hands

Smiling sellers helpfully offer to provide services for wrapping New Year's gifts. And all this seems to be great, because you must admit, it is much more pleasant to receive a New Year's trifle in a beautiful package. But on the other hand, the whole meaning of the gift is lost, the very gift that should be intended specifically for you.

The recipient of the gift will be doubly pleased if, in addition to choosing a gift, you spend a little more time wrapping it. In this article, we will teach you how to make gift boxes from paper or cardboard with your own hands. It is not at all difficult to do this, because all the crafts presented with us are accompanied by ready-made schemes, templates and step-by-step master classes.

So, before we get started, let's check if everything is ready for you.

DIY corrugated cardboard box
Another New Year's idea is a gift box made of colored corrugated cardboard. To make it, you need to cut the base according to a special template given in the article. And of course you can decorate the box to your liking. Such a box, especially if it is made in green, resembles a Christmas tree in shape - the most important New Year's symbol. And even the most modest gift in such a box will cause warmth and a sea of \u200b\u200bjoyful smiles.

To make such a box for New Year's gifts, you will need colored corrugated cardboard, preferably green, since this box will symbolize the main attribute of the New Year - a green Christmas tree. Corrugated cardboard is now sold in many office supply stores, and ribbons and decorations are now available everywhere, so materials should not be a problem.

First you need to make a template on plain paper using the following diagram.

Next, transfer the diagram onto cardboard and cut it out along the solid black lines marked on the diagram. Using a thin, blunt object (such as a non-writing ballpoint pen) and a ruler, push along the dotted lines marked in the diagram. This is necessary so that the folds of the box are even and neat.

Carefully bend the cut out box template along the pressed lines.

Put a present in the middle. Now, one by one, begin to collect the edges of the box as shown in the following photos. You can use glue or double-sided tape, or you can leave the box open, just tie it with tape. Please note that the allowances left should be all inside.

Having combined all four edges of the box at the top in the center, we proceed to tying a bow. This is done very simply, look carefully at the following photos.

You can decorate the box with any decorations in gold, silver, red. You can add snowflakes or small Christmas balls.
