The box is a universal gift for friends or for yourself, useful and practical. And if the box is made by hand, then it is also a very original gift. Of course, for this you need certain materials and skills.
Plastic container box
The box can be made from a variety of materials, the main thing is desire and perseverance. It is clear that boxes are often made of wood, but this requires not only special skills, but also specific equipment. However, if you fantasize a little and take a closer look at the materials at hand, you can find a bunch of interesting things that can turn out to be a worthy basis for creating a box.
Degreasing the surface of the plastic container should be the first step towards a beautiful transformation of the plastic container. This is done so that the decorative elements do not fall off, but sandpaper will help you degrease. Think carefully about the decor: you can sheathe the container with paper (then you don't have to sand the surfaces) or glue it with beads or beads. If the second is closer to you, then think over an ornament or stick decor elements in random order. Use a toothpick or needle to stick the beads on. Decorate each side of the box, then glue double-sided tape around its perimeter. This is done if you want to attach a satin ribbon.
When decorating the lid of a newly-made box, do the same manipulations. You can also attach double-sided tape to the edges of the lid and tape or tape to it.
Shoebox casket
Using a shoebox as a base for the box, first glue it on all sides with plain paper. On the other hand, having reinforced the walls of the box with thick cardboard, you can coat them with glue and wrap them with decorative thread. Do the same with the lid.
Such a box can also be decorated using decoupage. This technique involves decorating with napkins or special decoupage cards. If you decide to decorate your box with decoupage, you need to coat the box with soil, then glue the napkin or card on the walls and lid of the box. If you do not have a special glue for decoupage, you should dilute the PVA glue with water and start decorating. Upon completion of this operation, fix the result obtained with a special varnish - it will protect the result of your work.
Matchbox box
In order to create a box from matchboxes, you need to glue them several pieces in a row. You will receive a kind of chest of drawers in which you can later store small household items - buttons, needles, and jewelry. Secure the base of such a box with thick cardboard and start decorating. You can also use decoupage or glue such a box with a cloth, decorating the result with buttons, beads and other accessories.
