Each gift that needs to be handed over to the addressee in a solemn atmosphere, necessarily requires a corresponding beautiful design. But sometimes it happens that all kinds of gift wrapping either do not fit in style, or are more expensive than the present itself. In this case, it is quite possible to make a gift box yourself.
It is necessary
A regular box of the appropriate size, beautiful wrapping paper, decorative bows and ribbons of foil or fabric, stapler or glue, scissors
Instructions
Step 1
Get a box of the right size. It can be any box, even from under the shoes. Remove the cover from it.
Step 2
Take wrapping paper. Place it wrong side up on a table. Place an open box in the middle of a sheet of brown paper.
Step 3
Lift one side of the wrapping sheet and fold it near the edge of the box wall. Make a vertical notch in the corners of the remainder of the paper to the edge of the box. Perform similar manipulations on the other three sides.
Step 4
Trim the loose edges, wrap them inside the box. It is necessary that the edges go to the bottom of the box. Secure them there with glue or a stapler.
Step 5
Tape the inside of the bottom of the box with colored or the same brightly colored wrapping paper to hide the edges of the wrapped sides. Do the same for the box lid.
Step 6
Take the bow from the gift ribbon. Stick it on the box lid.
Step 7
Further, if you wish, you can decorate the walls of the box with all kinds of hearts, sparkles, fancy and original designs. It all depends on the imagination of the person who designs the box.
Step 8
In order to make the design look more original, you can skip a couple of ribbons over the walls. They can be either fabric, paper, or made of durable foil. In this case, it is also better to hide their ends under the inner square of the bottom. Then the decorative bow is best glued to them so that it looks organic. Otherwise, the bow will look out of place. Thus, making a gift box yourself will take a little patience and imagination. And now the box is ready. It remains to put a gift there, tie a beautiful ribbon and present it to the addressee!
