DIY boxes

What is the packaging without the box? Of course, a gift can be packed in a bag or bag embroidered with rhinestones and beads, but making a box is easier (especially if you are just starting to master the skill of an applied decorator) and faster (this is important in a situation when you suddenly received a call and were told that you, it turns out, waiting at a party where everyone has already gathered, and decency simply oblige to present something small and nice to a half-familiar mistress of the house). You can buy a box in a store, but it's expensive - sometimes more than the gift itself is worth. You can use a box from under something - for example, a small one from under a charger for a mobile phone or a large one from under sandals. But it is only our parents who tend to keep all the boxes in the pantry, and young people do not have such a habit. So it does not hurt to learn how to make boxes with your own hands. By the way, it makes sense to put them on for the future - at the same time you will practice.

simple box

Having learned how to make the simplest base box, you can make more complex options without much difficulty.

We take a sheet of cardboard of the right size and draw a rectangle or square on it (depending on the volume and shape of the gift itself). We mark and draw length lines from each side of the drawing to the center of the box - this is the depth. On one side of each "sidewall" we draw protrusions of 2 cm, cut them off near the bottom of the box at an angle of 45 degrees, cut out the entire workpiece completely, bend along each line and glue it to the adjacent "sidewall".

The lid should be 2-3 mm larger than the box itself. To keep the lid, you also need to make ledges. Before gluing the cover, fasten it with paper clips and check if it fits.

"Grandma's Chest"

The manufacture of this package begins with the same blank as for a simple box, with "sides" and protrusions for fastening. The starting material is the thickest cardboard you can find in an office supply store.

To determine the size of the pattern, place your gift in the center of the sheet (glued, if the gift is large, from two halves) and step back from each edge by about 8 cm - then you can definitely be sure that the gift will fit.

From one of the large sides we draw a rectangle equal in size to the bottom of the box - also with protrusions for fastening, and so that the sides of the lid go inside the “chest”.

We draw on the "sides" of the box (located across the width) a semicircle, the length of which should be equal to the width of the lid. We make the second semicircle along the length of the lid. We glue the workpiece.

The final step is coloring. You can, for example, glue a pre-painted "barn lock".

Again we draw a square with "sides", that is, the walls of the "house".

At the same time, we draw a “roof” - triangles (preferably with protrusions for fastening).

In the "sides" we mark the door and windows, cut them out, select rectangles of cellophane or polyethylene that are symmetrical to the openings. A window frame is cut out from a separate sheet of cardboard - we will fasten it, like “glass”, on the back of the sheet.

The door can be drawn either so that it opens and closes, cut through from three sides.

We color the "house" at our discretion. We fix the "chimney". It remains to glue the "house", put a gift into it and fasten the fragments of the roof together.

At the final stage, you can make small holes for a bow or ribbon.

We draw a square. We retreat from its sides and draw five more equal squares.

We add them around the perimeter of the base, attaching the last one to one of the previous ones.

Do not forget to make allowances for gluing fragments.

Having cut out the blank, paint it or paste over it with bright paper.

We glue the fragments, put the gift in the box and fasten the top.

triangular box

We draw a pattern - a triangle twice as large as the box we need. We divide all sides in half and draw straight lines along their middles - these are the fold lines of the box.

We put the gift in the center of the inner triangle and glue the box. To do without allowances for fastening, you can pierce small holes around the edges for decorative tape.

Box-"handbag"

From plain or colored cardboard, you can cut out and glue a handbag as shown in the figure.

cone-shaped box

The packaging box can also be cone-shaped. The starting material is cardboard or thick paper. It is not necessary to go to the stationery store for cardboard, especially if there is not much time before the party. Juice packaging, a kefir tetrapack will be used, in extreme cases - a cover from an old wall calendar.

envelope

Such an envelope can be made for both a flat gift and a postcard.

box-case

Such an “intimate” tiny case also implies a very “thin” gift, intended exclusively for a loved one. From two contrasting sheets of cardboard, you can glue a sliding box-case in two parts.

Box with a clasp

Such a box is good for a mother, girlfriend or daughter, as it looks at home and emphasizes the closeness in a relationship.

Source materials - thick beautiful paper or colored scraps of whatman paper.

It is clear that only a small box will look cute and hold firmly. Consequently, the gift is also meant to be “chamber” - either tiny, but valuable, or completely playful, like candy with a note.

Box-"asterisk"

Option one

Such packaging is suitable for a children's gift, for example, for small things like elastic bands and hairpins.

Option two

In such a package, it is good to present a modest "household" gift.

Boxes for watches and money

Pretty "substrates" for watches or chains can be made very simply. And the money invested in a man-made envelope will not seem like such a “mundane” gift.

We put the pattern on cardboard or velvet paper. We cut it out, fold the box and decorate with various applications.

Cup box

A cardboard cup with a delicate flower at the top is suitable for any gift.

1. We make a pattern according to the scheme and fold the workpiece.

2. Carefully lay the allowances.

3. We fix the folds at the bottom with adhesive tape.

chest

According to the manufacturing technique, such a chest is not much different from a simple box. At the top, it can be decorated with any “lock”, depending on the purpose of the gift and the occasion.

"Locomotive" from chests

To build such a package, at first glance, is difficult. However, in fact, it consists of the number of simple cardboard chests you need.

Box-"leaves"

This box is equipped with a double-sided latch.

Box-"T-shirt"

Such packaging is suitable for a flat object, such as a book or a disk.

Box-"machine"

And in this box a toy car will look great. Or... diamond earrings.

Box-"giraffe", "elephant", "tortoise"

Children's gift boxes can be made in the shape of a variety of animals.

Box with application

An ordinary flat box can turn into a funny animal - just stick an application on top and bottom of it. If you make a bottom pattern in the form of a “sun” with a “fringe” for attaching the case, the box will turn out to be round.

We start making packaging with a paper tube. Glue the cone. Having cut out two small ovals with ears, we glue them together. We put a blank-head on the cone-body, stick a bow on the neck, draw a tail and paws.

When the gift is packed into the box, seal it from the bottom with a thick cardboard circle.

"Frog"

A small paper cone will serve as the frog's head. We glue the eyes to the workpiece, draw the mouth, and then glue the body from the cylinder with the bottom closed. It remains to glue the head and paws to it and color the “frog”.

"Muzzle"

Making a funny face with multi-colored pigtails is very simple. Source materials - several fragments of multi-colored paper, preferably one that does not tear (for example, cigarette paper).

We wrap the gift box in paper, fastening the seams - then they will be hidden under the pigtails. We weave a long pigtail out of paper of different colors - such that it is enough to wrap the box around the perimeter. We tie lush bows to its ends. You can tie the pigtails with a thread, and fluff the tails. It is more interesting if the ponytails with bows fall on the corners of the box. We draw the face itself with felt-tip pens.

"Candies"

Such "sweets" are ideal for "distributing elephants" at school or kindergarten at the birthday of your beloved child. They can also be used in the process of a wedding celebration: guests presenting gifts will be pleased to receive a return gift, albeit the most modest one.

"Candy" universal

The starting material is a rectangular sheet of drawing paper, rolled into a tube and fastened with a stapler or tape. The rectangle is selected taking into account the dimensions of the gift.

Glue small rectangles of thin wrapping paper around the perimeter of the tube at both ends and assemble them into a “quill” using decorative tape. Before gluing the blanks, we decorate them with shells, dry flowers, stickers, appliqués, etc.

"Candies" for fruits

You can pack everything - not necessarily a valuable gift for a special occasion. A handful of cherries or a few apricots brought to the hospital by an ill colleague will make a completely different impression if you work a little on their design.

1. We fold a “boat” out of thin, preferably bright tissue paper.

2. We place the fruit in its “nose” so that the paper fits it like a scarf.

3. We twist the ends of the paper left free. We connect the ends.

For fruits or, for example, for a larger bunch of grapes, an oblong sheet of paper is suitable.

1 Lay the offering in the middle of the sheet so that there are free ends.

2 We collect them in brushes and bandage them.

"Sweetie"

Such packaging is suitable, for example, for jewelry, a small toy, a tie, etc. It is better to get rid of the factory packaging and turn the gift into a “candy”.

Our task is to bend the paper so that the resulting envelope resembles a candy wrapper.

1. We twist a tie (or any other soft gift) with a tube - this way it will be easier to pack it.

2. We put it in the center of gift paper.

3. We bend the ends so that we get triangles, like a candy wrapper.

4. We bend and bring the ends of the package together, fixing them with adhesive tape.

5. We bind the junction of the edges of the package with a decorative tape or cord.

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 a gift box, that is, 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 a similar 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 make the box in a square shape, then the 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 on the reverse side.

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

7. Unbend the bent corner along the marked lines.

In this master class, we will consider several ways how to make handmade paper box The first method is a little more difficult, and the second is very easy.

The first way is an origami paper box.

To make such a box, we need scissors and two pieces of paper. The first size is 21.5x21.5 centimeters, this will be the lid of the box. The second sheet is 21.2x21.2 centimeters in size, respectively, this will be the lower part. As you noticed, the sizes of the sheets do not differ much, and if you don’t have a ruler on hand, I advise you to pick up sheets so that one of them is a little smaller. The folding method of the top and bottom is the same. That is why we will consider making only one part of origami with our own hands. To make the box stronger, we advise you to take thicker paper, for example, cardboard. Let's get to our instructions.

1 . We outline 2 diagonal lines. The easiest way to do this is with a ruler and a pencil.

2 . We bend one corner to the center of the square, as shown in the photo.

3 . Then fold the same side in half. The edge should lie exactly along the diagonal line.

4 . After we ironed the fold lines, we unfold everything back.

5 . Exactly the same procedure described in paragraphs 2-4 is done with the rest of the corners.

6 . We cut 2 corners with scissors, as shown in the figure.

7 . Bend the side corners to the center. So that they converge at the central point of the square.

8 . Raise the side walls of the box. Since we have made all the necessary folds, this item will not cause you any difficulties.

9 . Next, we begin to form the walls. To do this, we bend the edges to each other as in the diagram.

10 . Now the edges that we cut are put inside the box with our own hands.

11 . Now the lid for the gift box is ready. It remains only to make the bottom.

12 . The bottom is made in exactly the same way. We advise you to carefully approach the choice of paper. Basically, paper of a single color is selected for the lower part. And for the top paper with different patterns.

13 . Additionally, you can give solemnity to the gift box with your own hands, decorating it with a beautiful ribbon.

The second scheme of the paper box.

This box is much easier to make than the previous origami. You don't need scissors or a ruler to make it. All you need is to pick up a sheet of paper of standard size A4, A3, A2, depending on what kind of box you want to get as a result. For example, from an A4 sheet, a box measuring 10x10.5 centimeters is obtained. We will also consider only the manufacture of one box module with our own hands. Since both parts are assembled according to the same principle. Do not forget the bottom of the box should be a little smaller.

1 . Place the paper in front of you, long side facing you.

2 . Make 2 fold lines, you should get 3 equal shapes.

3 . Fold the right rectangle in half as shown in the photo.

4 . Do the same with the left rectangle.

5 . We bend the corners on both sides from the top and bottom, as shown in the pictures

6 . Turn the sheet over and do the same. On the one hand, you should get single-layer corners, on the other, from two layers of paper.

7 . Having bent all 8 corners, we unfold the workpiece, with the corners inward.

8 . Let's proceed to the most important stage, we need to evenly open the box.

9 . We form the ribs. This can be done by hand. Make sure the sides are about the same size.

10 . In such a simple and quick way, we made one part of an origami box.

11 . In the same way we collect the second part of the box. Do not forget that one of the origami parts should be a little smaller.

Now you have met origami and know how to make a paper box with your own hands. These two ways of origami are the most popular and simple. Do not forget to leave feedback and impressions of the master class.

• Ready labels;
• Scissors, clerical knife;
• Double-sided tape, glue stick;
• Super glue or glue "Moment" universal (transparent gel) for fixing beads and other things;
• Pencil, ruler;
• Hole puncher;
• Compass.

Now there are many ideas for creating original gift boxes, for you we have selected the most interesting and affordable options.

Box with round base:

1. You need to cut out 4 circles: using a compass, we draw circles (you choose the diameter yourself) from thick packaging cardboard, you can also use porous cardboard. Two large mugs and two small ones.
2. From tinted cardboard or any other that you have, we cut out two strips so that they match the size of the circles, with a margin for overlap, one of them is wide, the second is narrow.
3. Glue two large circles together with Moment glue or double-sided tape. After - separately glue the remaining two circles.
4. We need small circles for the base of the box. We apply transparent glue “Moment” on the sides of the mug, gluing a strip of cardboard, for reliability, you can also stick another strip on top of this one.
5. We do the same with the lid for the box: we glue a narrow cardboard strip along the edges of the large circle.

Important! To make your box look more festive, you can create a beautiful bow from a colored or printed ribbon. To do this, cut the ribbon in half, glue its ends to the inside of the lid, and tie the remaining long ends into a bow on top.

Classic gift box

And for lovers of the classics, there is such an option: a small box for a small gift. We will need the following materials:

• Ruler;
• Scissors;
• Thick colored paper or cardboard (soft).

Step by step we will consider the whole process of how to make such a box of paper with your own hands. For blanks you need two squares - large and small. The difference in size is 1 cm, for example 15:15 and 14:14. Let's arrange them:

1. We select the lines of squares diagonally, after that we bend the corners to the center.
2. Further, the corners bent towards the center must be bent to the opposite fold line, and then to the nearest fold line. A square should form in the center, which will later become our future bottom.
3. After that, on both sides of the formed diagonals, we cut along the first deflections to the designated square in the center.
4. The edges that we cut are folded along the bends, so we get the walls of the box.
5. We bend the sharp tips of the walls inward, to the center of the square.
6. With the remaining not bent tongues of paper, we grab the bent ends, thereby wrapping them inward.

We have a lid box.

We perform the same manipulations with the second square, and due to the fact that this square differed in size by one centimeter, the box comes out smaller and fits freely under the previously made cover.

In order to fix the gift inside, put a napkin or light paper in a crumpled form on the bottom. As you may have noticed, making a gift box with your own hands is quite simple. To give originality and an interesting accent, a colored braid will help, with which we will tie our box.
