There is nothing difficult 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. Bend one of the corners so that it looks to the center (at the intersection of our diagonal lines). After that we bend it once more 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. We do the same thing that we did in the second point with all other angles.

4. Make cuts on both sides as shown in the picture.

5. And we start to add our craft step by step.

6. After creating the lid from the box, proceed to create the 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, plain paper is taken, in contrast to the lid, 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 box out of paper (method 2)

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

1. Since we make a box in a square shape, then a sheet of paper, before starting to create a craft, also needs to be given the shape of a square.

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

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

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

5. Bend back two opposite corners of the rhombus so that the shape looks like something like "candy".

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

7. Bend both tops of the "candy" inside the box (first one, and then the second).

8. So you have 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. In the future, you can use paints, ribbons, pieces of fabric or glitter to decorate the box. Here you can show your imagination to the fullest.

How to make a box out of paper (3 way)

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

1. Fold a square piece of paper in half.

2. Fold the resulting triangle in half again.

3. Expand the edge in such a way as shown in the figure below.

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

5. Bend the corners in the same way as in the figure below. We do the same on the reverse side.

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

7. Bend the folded corner along the marked lines.

8. We do the same on the other side.

9. Turn the figure over.

10. Bend the edges in the same way as shown in the picture.

11. When you do these actions from all sides, then you should have a figure, as in the picture below.

12. Bend the corners.

13. You should have a similar figure. A little more and the craft will be completely done.

14. Rotate the shape and begin to unbend it, creating volume.

15. Very simply, the box unbends and becomes a stylish model, which is called a star origami box.

By the way, if you round the corners with a pencil or make a double bend at the corners, you can get a wonderful box, for example, like this picture below.

And in response to you: - So, if today you give someone a gift and wish something wonderful, there will be a holiday? And it's true ... And you can even give a handful of sweets. The main thing is how to do it. Perhaps we should start with an unusual packaging. A DIY paper box is a great idea for an original gift or surprise. Even a purely symbolic gift will be admirable if you present it in your own packaging.

Materials and tools

So, what may be needed in the manufacture of all kinds of boxes.

• Paper. It is best to take scrapbooking paper - it is good because it can be double-sided, and with a different pattern on each side. Thick design paper, colored paper for pastels, cardboard (with a density of 200-300 g / m2), a simple sheet of Whatman paper or watercolor paper, which you can color or tint with your own hands, are also suitable. You can also use "yellow" stationery paper (or an envelope made of it), wrapping paper ... and any other that you can use for decoration.
• Corrugated cardboard
• Napkins (preferably thicker)
• Ribbons, ribbons, laces
• Beads, buttons
• Ready-made labels
• Scissors, stationery knife
• Double-sided tape, glue stick
• Superglue or glue "Moment" universal (transparent gel) for fixing beads and other things
• Ruler, pencil
• Compass
• Hole puncher
• Nail file (for scoring)

Useful advice. Before grabbing directly on the paper that will be your box, try to assemble it from plain paper. You will understand what to cut off, how it is more convenient to make folds, how to assemble the box. Plus, you will be able to estimate the size of the box you need. Often, after all, the first pancake is a lump - so let this lump be made of simple cheap paper. Decor. As for the elements for decoration, here you can not limit yourself: make flowers from fabric and paper, combine ribbons and raffia, lace, whatever you can think of. The main rule is not to overdo it. And now about the boxes themselves. There are a lot of options, models and schemes for their manufacture. We offer you the most popular ones - from classic round and square boxes at the base to unusual bonbonnieres. But first things first.

Square box

You can give anything in it. From sweets and cookies to handmade soaps and jewelry. Naturally, for each gift there should be a corresponding decor of the box. In this case, the packaging is stylized as a postal parcel. This gives it a special romance, because the services of traditional mail for sending letters and gifts today are used less and less. If you use colored paper with a picture, the box will already have a completely different mood. Choose yours!

Redrawing the box diagram on paper. We think over the required size in advance. Cut out.

Gently bend the workpiece along the dotted lines that are drawn in the diagram. If the paper is thick enough to make folding easier, you can crease first. To do this, attach a ruler to the fold lines and trace along them with a nail file (with the point of a compass, the tip of scissors). You should get a groove - a depression along the line. All folds will now be clear.

We glue the strips of double-sided tape as shown in the figure. You can use a glue stick instead of scotch tape, but scotch tape is still safer and more convenient.

We decorate the walls of the box from the outside, while it itself is still disassembled. And then we glue it. All that is left is to put a gift and tie the packaging!

Round base

The box of this model is more suitable for gifts to women. Although everything again depends on the gift and decor. In it you can present both beads and a tie (if you twist it with a snail), as well as a scented candle, a New Year's ball or even a cupcake! Such a do-it-yourself paper box in the future can also serve as an excellent box for little things (buttons, beads, etc.).

So let's get started.

Select the desired radius of the circle at the base. Using a compass, draw 4 such circles on thick paper and 2 on corrugated cardboard. We measure 3 strips on paper. Their length will be equal to the circumference of our circles (yes, you will have to remember your favorite formula 2πR). The widest strip will be at the height of the box, another one will be 1 cm narrower, and the third strip will be the narrowest - for the height of the future lid. Difficult - just while you are reading it, you should start doing it - and everything becomes simple and clear!

We glue the corrugated cardboard circles with paper. We have got the bottom and base of the lid.

We glue the first and second strips, as shown in the figure (the vertical shift is about the thickness of the bottom of the box, the horizontal shift is 1 cm). The right side of the paper should be facing out. We decorate the future wall of the box.

We glue the bottom of the box with a double strip of paper in a circle. Then we glue the base of the lid in a circle with the remaining narrowest strip. The box is ready! We place a gift inside and close it with a decorated lid. You can not decorate the lid separately, but tie the whole box with a ribbon. For example, like this:

Elegant boxes and not a drop of glue!

Is it possible to make a paper box with your own hands quickly and without any glue? Voila! There are more examples of such packages than you might imagine. Everything is done from one sheet of paper. The main thing is to carefully cut the workpiece and bend it correctly. At first glance, the schemes for some boxes are tricky, but in fact everything is much simpler. Each next box will become easier to collect. We advise you to practice on plain paper first! When working with thick paper, a creasing will again help you a lot. Let's try!

1. Strict box - male version.

Although if you make it larger, from paper with a delicate print and decorate with a flower, it will be just right for donating lingerie.

Perfect for sweets and anything fluffy and airy. In order to thread a ribbon or lace, make holes in the workpiece in advance with a hole punch.

Suitable, for example, for loose aromatic tea. Or for some bottles, candlesticks.

But it will not be difficult for the bride and her bridesmaids to make bonbonnieres in the style and tone of the wedding.

1. One of the simplest options

2. Elegant.

They resemble a casket or a small chest. Quite a bit more difficult than the first ones. We make cuts in them with a clerical knife, holes, if we want to pull in a ribbon or lace, with a hole punch.

3. Unusual and tasty.

As a rule, bonbonnieres are placed on a special separate table and often on a platter or tray. You can play nicely with this situation and make bonbonnieres in the form of pieces of cake. And you need to place them together, like it's a paper cake.

First, we draw a large circle (the plane of the cake) and divide it into sectors in order to know the parameters of our slices. Then, according to the dimensions, we draw a diagram of the unfolding of the piece. We make the required number of sweeps, cut them out and glue them. You can decorate before gluing, or after - it all depends on the idea of ​​your decor.

An origami paper box is a good storage container. There are a lot of ideas for creating various boxes. These can be simple boxes for storing small items or beautifully decorated gift wrappers. The density and color of the future box should be selected in accordance with its functions.

Even a beginner can make a box out of paper. Probably many assembled Zunako, Sanbo or other models in childhood.

The master class will be useful both for beginners to get acquainted with origami and for lovers of this type of creativity.

The simplest origami boxes are folded according to ready-made templates. To do this, it is enough to cut the workpiece and fold it along the outlined lines. In some models, it is necessary to use glue to connect the sides, but you can pick up blanks in which the sides are fastened by means of slots:

Without blanks, an origami box is made from one sheet of paper. There are several simple models without caps. Assembling these boxes is good for beginners. Below are master classes describing step by step how to assemble a simple square box and the classic models of Zunako and Sanbo.

Depending on the desired shape of a simple box, you need to prepare a square or rectangular sheet of paper. Below in the photo and pictures are the options for collecting a simple box:

Zunako's assembly starts with a basic double square shape. Next, you should perform the actions in accordance with the description:

• bend the sides of the double square to the center on both sides;
• bend the corners to the sides and straighten (do on both sides);
• bend the edges inward on the sides and do the same on the other side;
• bend the beams on 4 sides and straighten the box.

Sanbo is made up of a basic pancake shape. Then step-by-step assembly instructions are performed for both sides of the workpiece. Fold the base shape in half. Bend the resulting triangle again.

Flatten the side to the right.

Grasping the inner edges of the workpiece with your fingers, open the top layer and bend it.

Bend the side edges towards the center. Bend down the top of the workpiece. Pulling on the "ears", open the box.

Sanbo can be used as a surprise box. To do this, it is enough to bend the "ears" inward and glue them with tape or a beautiful decor, for example, glue a bow. You can put a note or a small gift, such as a ring, inside.

You can wrap a simple gift more gracefully in a gift envelope, which is assembled very simply from a colored square. You need to do the following. Bend the prepared square with the letter "S" and flatten it slightly at the edges.

Repeat step 1 on the other side. Expand and bend the edges along the intended folds. Repeat steps 1-3 perpendicularly.

Bend the workpiece diagonally on both sides.

Bend the corner, as shown in the photo, and repeat for all sides.

Taking the workpiece by two corners, bend it with a "spinner" and smooth it.

Fold three corners in turn, and fill in the fourth.

Using the modular origami technique, you can try to make an original accordion box for storing little things, for example, for needlework. This model was invented by the Japanese woman Ayako Kawate. This is a simple origami storage box made of several interconnecting parts, and a beginner can handle it. To make the craft look beautiful and bright, it is recommended to use double-sided colored sheets of paper:

Complex models

The proposed MK will help to make different origami boxes for a gift. As a rule, a beautiful colored box with a lid looks especially attractive in this light. They can be of different shapes - from the classic rectangular to the shape of a heart. Compared to assembling simple classic models, folding them is somewhat more difficult, however, with some skill, even a beginner can get a beautiful packaging box assembled by his own hands:

You can watch the video how to make an original accordion box from modules.

A paper gift box is usually made of several squares. One of the sides of the package is folded from each square, and then, like modular figures, they are connected to each other.

Following the detailed schematic instructions, for a start, you can try to make an ordinary rectangular box according to this principle. It is made of 8 paper squares (it is better that they are colored on both sides): from 4 squares - the base and from 4 - the cover.

Below is a pictorial diagram:

Hello dear readers! Today we will continue to learn how to fold the original origami crafts and do square box of matzo... We have already described how to do it earlier.

Origami square box refers not only to decorative crafts that are used for decoration, but is a practical item. The box can be used to store various small things, sweets, and finally, it can serve as an original gift case.

Fold the origami square box

To make a box, we need two sheets of thick colored paper (one of the sheets should be slightly larger than the other).

First we will make the box and then the lid for it.

1. We fold a square sheet of paper of a larger size in half in two directions, as well as along two diagonals. After bending, straighten the sheet.

2. Fold the basic origami "pancake" shape.

3. We make the folding of the "pancake" origami shape three times in two directions.

4. Straighten the model again and open the side flaps.

5. Raise the upper edge of the workpiece so that it protrudes forward at an angle of 90 degrees to the base - the bottom of the model (see as in diagrams 5-6).

6. We do the same operation with the bottom edge of the future origami box.

7.Now we bend the large valve created during operation 5-6 inward, as in diagrams 8-9.

8.Fold the other open side of the box in the same way.

Making a lid for a square origami box

1.Fold the basic origami shape from a square sheet of paper - "pancake" (the size of the sheet must be selected so that the basic "pancake" shape is about 2-3 cm wider than the opening of the box).

2. Place the made box in the center of the sheet (see diagram 2) and bend the edges of the "pancake" to fit the box. As a result, we get a base line.
