DIY gift boxes: templates and instructions

Snowflake

Such packaging is a stylish gift approach and an ideal solution regardless of the age and social status of the person to whom the present is intended. The original detail will be a snowflake on the top of the box, everything is done by hand and is extremely simple. Here are the excellent ones.


To work you need cardboard or white thick paper, a stationery knife and scissors, glue. First, you can print a box template directly from this material, then cut it out carefully with scissors. Then transfer the scheme from paper to cardboard. The figure shows the fold lines, it is also better to mark them for yourself. To bend the cardboard carefully, you will need to gently hold the back of the clerical knife over them.


When everything is bent, you need to glue the corners of the box together. Now put the finished elements one on one and fix everything. You will get an amazing snowflake, which in itself is already a work of art, but after all, this is just a box for the main gift. How to do it.

Spectacular ideas for original packaging:

  1. The white color of the box may seem boring, because on New Year's Eve it is white-white on the street, why not paint life with bright colors. To do this, you do not have to look for colored cardboard, you can decorate the white box with sparkles. First, grease all sides of the box with glue, then immediately sprinkle with sparkles. After 10 minutes, just blow off any glitter that has not adhered.
  2. Sticky rhinestones are also great for additional decor. You can act here based on your own creative ideas.
  3. Instead of white cardboard, you can use a gold or silver version of this starting material.

Triangular herringbone

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 separately scrapbooking. 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?

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 be a scheme for creating each individual box.

Workshops on creating cardboard and paper boxes

Small boxes

First of all, I want to give you 5 sweeps with very nice patterns, which will make such a wonderful package:

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

Principles of working with templates:

  1. Print your favorite scan on heavy paper.
  2. Cut the future box along the contour and cut in those places where straight lines pass (focus on light sweeps - the arrangement of the lines is the same everywhere).
  3. Bend the box along the dotted lines and glue so that the pieces with the semicircular ends lie between the other two and the round ends point up.
  4. Everything, it remains only to bend the lid properly.

And again roses, but more tender.

And now there are two options for Birthday - candy with balls and lollipops.

Large rectangular

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

Places of cuts 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 in trend - this is proved by the following 4 templates for creating strict classic boxes. For them, you will need thick cardboard again.

If a 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 either thick cardboard or thick paper.



A heart

Heart boxes are very popular, because they can be used to express your feelings. Or confess them

Cake

Getting ready for a big party where everyone needs a little surprise? Maybe a wedding is planned? And in fact, and in another case, 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

The 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 your own), then make him a cute little box in the form of an animal.

Present such a boot to happy parents. Follow the traditions: girls - pink, boys - blue or blue.

New Year Boxes

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

It is especially needed if for some reason there is no New Year tree. The main thing in this package 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 snowflake can give a zest.

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

Sachet

To give a gift is one of the simplest options.

Box with sweets

For all lovers of beautiful New Year's gifts and quick hand-made! Take a plastic cup with a smooth surface, cut off the edge and slice the edge.

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

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

And, of course, the candy itself.

A slightly more modest pyramid, from which you can build a geometric herringbone.

A few more boxes

Finally, you have 3 more boxes that did not fit into the previous groups.

What you need to make DIY Christmas boxes

Depending on the expected result, a suitable material for packaging products is selected. Cardboard is best suited for this purpose: you can take white, if you mean decor, colored, with a print, or use thick paper for scrapbooking.

Template for a box "Christmas trees"






DIY triangular herringbone box

Such packaging personifies the main symbol of the holiday - the Christmas tree - sparkling and elegant!

For such a gift box, the template can not be printed on a printer, but drawn independently using our measurements.

You will need:

    corrugated decorative cardboard (green);

    gift ribbon (golden);

    scissors or utility knife;

    rhinestones-stars, jewelry-ribbons and so on - in general, everything that can be used to decorate a gift box.


    Draw the template on plain paper.

    Transfer it to cardboard and cut it out.

    Carefully press through the dashed lines for the fold with a thin, non-sharp object (such as a knitting needle or non-writing pen).

    Bend the sides of the box along the resulting dotted line.

    Place your gift in the center and collect the edges of the box with allowances inward.

    When all four edges are aligned, tie the gift wrap with ribbon as follows: for a bow, fold the ribbon in half, not once, but twice, and only then tighten into a knot.

    Spread out the ribbons on the bow and attach the decoration of your choice on top. These can be red or gold beads, decorative stars, and more.

    On the box itself, glue the rhinestones-stars or draw snowflakes with a golden marker.
