A simple version of a paper box. This is my first instruction here and I tried to make it as clear and understandable as possible. Some steps were difficult for me to explain in a way that was clear, but I think everything will be clear from the photographs. If you have any problems, write in the comments and I will try to explain better.

I know that there are several versions of paper boxes made from A4 sheet, but I didn’t see my method here, so I hope it will be useful to you. Enjoy!

Stage 1: Materials

You will need:

• 2 sheets of plain office paper (box + lid)
• Scissors
• Pencil
• Ruler

You may also need some glue.

Stage 2

Fold a sheet of paper as shown in the photo.

Stage 3

Draw a line with a pencil, outlining one of the sides of the resulting triangle.

Stage 4

Cut a sheet of paper along the line.

Stage 5

Now you have a square (you can throw away the extra piece of paper).

Stage 6

Now you must fold the square along the other diagonal and unfold it again.

Stage 7

Then fold all 4 corners of the square towards the center.

Stage 8

Fold one side of the square towards the center (as shown in the photo), then fold the opposite side in the same way.

Stage 9

Now we bend the just bent sides of the square. We turn it 90 degrees and bend the other two sides of the square in the same way.

Stage 10

Make cuts as shown in the photo. The cuts should be only at the top and bottom, they should not be too deep or short.

Stage 11

Unfold the top and bottom as shown in the photo. Fold the other two sides to form a box.

Stage 12

The final stage of assembling the box. We bend the remaining two sides. Ready!

Stage 13

Now, if you have a desire, you can make the bottom for our box, i.e. the box we made in the previous steps will become the lid (it will be difficult to insert one box into another if their size is the same). In order for the lid to fit easily onto the box, we will need a ruler.

It's pretty simple. First follow steps 1 to 5 and then measure and draw a pencil line 5mm from the top and right edges of the square. After that, cut off these thin strips. Now the bottom and lid will fit perfectly into each other.

It remains to repeat steps 6 to 12 and the box with a paper lid is ready!

Stage 14

If the inner triangles at the top bend downwards, they can be secured with glue.

Stage 15

All that's left to do is connect the boxes together.

In this master class we will look at several ways to make DIY paper box. The first method is a little more complicated, and the second is very easy.

The first method is an origami box made of paper.

To make such a box we need scissors and two pieces of paper. The first one is 21.5x21.5 centimeters in size, this will be the lid of the box. The second sheet measures 21.2x21.2 centimeters, so this will be the bottom part. As you noticed, the sizes of the sheets are not very different, and if you don’t have a ruler on hand, I advise you to choose sheets so that one of them is slightly smaller. The folding method for 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 recommend using thicker paper, such as cardboard. Let's get started with our instructions.

1 . Draw 2 diagonal lines. The easiest way is to do it with a ruler and pencil.

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

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

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

5 . We perform exactly the same procedure described in paragraphs 2-4 with the remaining corners.

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

7 . We bend the side corners towards 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 step will not cause you any difficulties.

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

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

11 . Now the lid for the gift box is ready. All that remains is to make the bottom.

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

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

The second diagram of a paper box.

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

1 . Place the sheet in front of you, with the 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 . We turn the sheet over and do the same thing. On the one hand, the corners should be single-layer, on the other, two layers of paper.

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

8 . Let's get down to it important stage, we need to open the box evenly.

9 . Forming the ribs. You can do this yourself. Make sure that the sides are approximately the same size.

10 . So simple and in a fast way we made one part of an origami box.

11 . In the same way we assemble the second part of the box. Don't forget that one of the origami parts should be a little smaller.

Now you are familiar with origami and know how to make a paper box with your own hands. These two origami methods are the most popular and simplest. Don't forget to leave reviews and impressions of the master class.

Paper boxes are a great way to decorate gifts with your own hands, create original packaging for storing household items, as well as a wonderful opportunity to bring creative impulses to life.

A big plus is that you can start training on plain paper or unnecessary thick cardboard, after which you can move on to making beautiful boxes from special paper.

To make your own gift box neat and attractive, it would be a good idea to take the advice of professionals and follow the step-by-step instructions with photographs and diagrams that can be found in our material.

Method No. 1: Square origami box

Beautiful and easy to make - this is how the first homemade box should be. This is exactly how it will turn out if you do it according to these simple instructions. IN in this case origami style is used.

1. Colored or wrapping paper for gifts;
2. Scissors;
3. Ruler;
4. Pencil;
5. Decorations optional - satin, velvet or lace ribbon, 3D applique, flower bud.

How to make a box:

To make gift wrapping easy, it will come in handy step-by-step instruction with photo. In order to make a beautiful box, you need to take care of creating the lid and the main part in uniform style. The top can be presentable, bright or playful. The bottom can be made from plain paper of a suitable color.

• You should start by creating a lid for the box. You will need square paper for this. The sizes can be anything - depending on the author’s idea. In this case, the square will be 21.5x21.5 cm. You need to draw a square of paper diagonally to make a cross, as in the photo below.
• The bottom corner must be bent so that it lies at the central point of intersection of the drawn lines. You can navigate by the photo. Then you need to bend the resulting fold again, but this time so that its edge exactly coincides with the drawn strip. The folds must be smoothed out well so that they are imprinted on the paper. You can use the body of a pencil. After this, we bend the square back, keeping on the paper the folds necessary for further work.

• We repeat these steps for the three remaining corners, resulting in a finished square with a grid of folds we need. After this, we cut two side parts on both sides, which now look like houses.

• We do the next step according to the photographs: we fold the lid of the future box.

• After this, you can begin to make the base of the box. To create it, you will need a square of paper 3 mm smaller than the previous one. In our case - 21.2x21.2 cm. The bottom is folded in the same way as the lid. The result is a beautiful box that can be decorated with ribbon, applique, or flower.
• The inner ends can be glued with inside double tape.

We learned how to make a box out of paper, but there are also more reliable materials for such an important product as gift wrapping.

For clarity, you can watch a video where the box is also made in origami style:

Method No. 2: Rectangular box made of thick paper

Plain paper is good, but a gift box made from this will not always be a good idea if its purpose is to keep a heavier gift intact. For the next craft, you will need thick paper - that is, cardboard.

To make the box you will need:

1. Cardboard;
2. Double-sided tape/glue;
3. Scissors;
4. Pencil;
5. Ruler;
6. Decorative decorations.

How to make a box:

• First you need to print and cut out the template. If this is not possible, you can redraw it on your thick paper, taking into account the required dimensions. The main thing is to maintain proportions.

Sample:

• Having cut out the future box from cardboard, you need to bend all the ends in the places marked with a dotted line. Since the paper is thick, you can help draw the fold lines with an object with a sharp end (pencil, nail file, screwdriver).
• Now that the silhouette of the gift box has already appeared, you need to stick double-sided tape or apply glue to the places where the edges of the paper should meet - that is, on the sides, as in the photo. Then all that remains is to fold the cardboard into a finished box and, if desired, decorate the product with stamps, appliqués, ribbons, and inscriptions.

Method No. 3: Triangular cake box

Not only simple square and rectangular boxes can be made from paper and cardboard, but also gift and packaging products are very original forms. Step-by-step photographs will help you understand the manufacturing process faster.

As in the previous case, making this box will greatly facilitate the work of a ready-made template. The edges of the lid can be wavy, which is associated with cream, or straight. You can choose the colors of the paper at your discretion, the main thing is that everything looks harmonious together. The dimensions of the future box can be anything, the main thing is that the template of the bottom part is 3 mm less template covers.

To make the box you will need:

1. Cardboard or thick paper;
2. Glue;
3. Scissors;
4. Pencil;
5. Ruler;
6. Decorative decorations - optional.

How to make a box:

Advice: For the first time, you should try to make this box from plain paper to understand the manufacturing principle, and only then proceed to the original on more expensive paper.

Templates:

Box lid template with straight edges. Box lid template with wavy edges. Template for the base of the “cake” box.

Important: Be sure to check the template sizes, these examples may not fit each other in size. The dimensions of the base template should be slightly smaller than the dimensions of the lid template.

• Draw a template for the lid and the base of the box on two separate sheets. Cut out blanks from paper.
  If this is the final version of the product, and you want to work with cardboard, then you need to attach paper templates to the cardboard and outline the edges, mark the dotted lines of the folds, and then cut out the components of the box.

• Then you need to make even folds on the cardboard in the dotted areas. You can help yourself with a ruler and a pointed object.

A paper box is a very valuable item because it can be used as a place to put a gift. And give a person a gift not openly, but in gift packaging, that is, in a box. This is even more interesting, since any secret intrigues and arouses interest. Or you can store some of your things in it, for example, shoes. Almost anyone can create a box out of paper. There is nothing complicated in its creation.

How to make a box out of paper (1 method)

You will need: paper, decorations, scissors.

1. First we make the lid of the box. To do this, 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 towards the center (at the intersection of our diagonal lines). Then we bend it one more time so that the edge of this fold is flush with the strip drawn in the center. Then we unravel the figure and see that folds have formed, which we will need later.

3. We do the same thing that we did in point two with all other angles.

4. We make cuts on both sides as shown in the picture.

5. And we begin to fold our craft step by step.

6. After creating the lid of the box, we proceed to creating the bottom for it. To do this, take a piece of paper measuring slightly less than 21.2 cm by 21.2 cm. The bottom is made in the same way as the lid. When creating it, you take plain paper, unlike the cover, when it is best to use something colorful, containing several colors, perhaps even some kind of picture.

So you have 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)

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

1. Since we are making the box in a square shape, the sheet of paper must also be given a square shape before starting to create the craft.

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

3. Bend the square in half diagonally. Then straighten 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 shape.

5. Bend back the two opposite corners of the diamond so that the figure looks somewhat like a “candy.”

6. We bend the side parts of the “candy” vertically (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. We 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 made in a similar way, but to create it you need to take a square of paper a couple of millimeters larger so that it can cover the box. To decorate the box in the future, you can use paints, ribbons, pieces of fabric or glitter. Here you can show your imagination to the fullest.

How to make a box out of paper (3rd method)

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

1. Fold square sheet paper in half.

2. Fold the resulting triangle in half again.

3. Unfold the edge as shown below in the figure.

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 in the figure below. We do the same on the reverse side.

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

7. Unbend the bent corner along the marked lines.

8. We do the same on the other side.

9. We turn the figure over.

10. We bend the edges in the same way as shown in the picture.

11. When you do these actions from all sides, you should end up with a figure like the one in the picture below.

12. Bend the corners.

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

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

15. It’s very easy for the box to unbend and become stylish model, which is called an origami star 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.

Now you know how simple and easy it is to create a paper box! Happy crafting!

What is a holiday? - they ask you one day. And you immediately answer with a smile: - This is when everyone is happy, says pleasant wishes, gives gifts... And in response to you: - So, if today you give someone a gift and wish something wonderful, then 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 unusual packaging. A DIY paper box is a great idea for original gift or a surprise. Even a purely symbolic gift will be worthy of admiration if you present it in its own packaging.

Materials and tools

So, what may be needed when making all kinds of boxes.

• Paper. It is best to take paper for scrapbooking - it is good because it can be double-sided, with a different design on each side. Thick designer paper is also suitable, colored paper for pastels, cardboard (density 200-300 g/m2), a simple sheet of whatman paper or watercolor paper, which you can paint or tint yourself. You can also use “yellow” note paper (or an envelope made from 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 “Moment” universal glue (transparent gel) for attaching beads and other things
• Ruler, pencil
• Compass
• Hole puncher
• Nail file (for creasing)

Useful advice. Before you directly take on the paper that will make up your box, try assembling it from plain paper. You will understand where to cut, how to make folds more conveniently, how to assemble the box. Plus, you can estimate what size box you need. Often the first pancake is lumpy - so let this lumpy be made of simple cheap paper. Decor. As for the elements for decoration, you don’t have to limit yourself here: 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 huge number 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 candies and cookies to soap self made and decorations. Naturally, each gift must have an appropriate box decor. In this case, the packaging is stylized as a postal parcel. This gives it a special romanticism, because the services of traditional mail for sending letters and gifts are used less and less today. If you use colored paper with a pattern, the box will have a completely different mood. Choose yours!

Redraw the diagram of the box onto paper. We think about it in advance right size. Cut it out.

Carefully bend the workpiece along the dotted lines that are drawn in the diagram. If the paper is thick enough, you can crease it first to make bending easier. To do this, attach a ruler to the fold lines and run a nail file (the tip of a compass, the tip of scissors) along them. There should be a groove - a depression along the line. Now all the folds will be clear.

We glue strips of double-sided tape as shown in the figure. Instead of tape, you can use a glue stick, but tape is still more reliable and more convenient.

We decorate the walls of the box from the outside while the box itself is still disassembled. And then we glue it together. All that’s left is to insert the gift and bandage the packaging!

With round base

The box of this model is more suitable for gifts for 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 DIY paper box can later serve as an excellent box for small items (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 out 3 strips on paper. Their length will be equal to the circumference of our circles (yes, we’ll have to remember our favorite formula 2πR). The widest strip will be the height of the box, another will be 1 cm narrower, and the third strip will be the narrowest - for the height of the future lid. It’s difficult - only while you’re reading this, you should start doing it - and everything will become simple and clear!

Glue the circles from corrugated cardboard paper We have the bottom and base of the lid.

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

We cover the bottom of the box with a double strip of paper in a circle. Then we paste the base of the lid in a circle with the remaining narrow strip. The box is ready! We place the gift inside and close it with a decorated lid. You don’t have to decorate the lid separately, but tie the entire box with 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 packaging than you can imagine. Everything is made from one sheet of paper. The main thing is to carefully cut the workpiece and bend it correctly. At first glance, the diagrams of some boxes are complicated, but in reality everything is much simpler. Each subsequent box will become easier to assemble. We recommend that you practice on plain paper first! When working with thick paper, creasing will again be of great help. Let's try!

1. Strict box – male version.

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

Ideal 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.

It looks very laconic, perfect for a men's gift.

And with brighter decor, it would be a good option for a gift for a woman.

Cute bonbonnieres

Bonbonnieres are a special type of boxes. Bonbon in French means candy, and the name of the boxes comes from the word “candy bowl”. It is the bonbonnieres with candies or sweet dragees that the newlyweds give to their guests at the wedding - in response to congratulations. Ordering a bonbonniere to be made for each guest is not a cheap pleasure. But it won’t 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 box or a small chest. Just a little more difficult than the first ones. We make slits in them stationery knife, holes, if we want to pull in a ribbon or lace, use a hole punch.

3. Unusual and tasty.

As a rule, bonbonnieres are located on a special separate table and often on a dish or tray. You can beautifully play with this situation and make bonbonnieres in the form of pieces of cake. And you need to place them together, as if it were 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 pieces. Then, according to the dimensions, we draw a diagram of the development of the piece. We make the required number of developments, cut them out and glue them together. You can decorate before gluing, or after - it all depends on the idea of ​​your decor.

Probably, many will agree that not only children, but also adults love to receive gifts, and if it is hidden in an original box, then this will leave an unforgettable surprise experience. And we are sure that the time spent creating it will pass quickly and unnoticed, because the result will definitely please you. Here you can find the most original and interesting ideas How to make a paper box with your own hands with a lid. The step-by-step instructions will help you complete it without much difficulty in a matter of minutes.

Important! Before you start creating a gift box, we advise you to practice on simpler paper, because then you will be able to take into account all the errors and inaccuracies that may arise.

Choosing material

So, how to make a beautiful gift box with your own hands? To do this you need the following materials:

• Corrugated cardboard;
• Laces, ribbons, ribbons;
• Buttons, beads;
• Ready-made labels;
• Scissors, stationery knife;
• Double-sided tape, glue stick;
• Super glue or “Moment” universal glue (transparent gel) for attaching beads and other things;
• Pencil, ruler;
• Hole puncher;
• Compass.

Now there are many ideas for creating original boxes for gifts, for you we have selected the most interesting and available 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, or from 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 together two large circles using Moment glue or double-sided tape. Afterwards, we glue the remaining two circles separately.
4. We need small circles for the base of the box. We apply transparent “Moment” glue to the sides of the circle, gluing a strip of cardboard; for reliability, you can also glue another strip on top of this.
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 use colored or printed ribbon to create beautiful bow. To do this, you need to 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 this option: a small box for small gift. We will need the following materials:

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

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

1. We select the lines of the squares diagonally, then bend the corners to the center.
2. Next, the corners bent towards the center need to be folded to the opposite fold line, and then to the nearest fold line. A square should form in the center, which will subsequently become our future bottom.
3. After this, on both sides of the formed diagonals, along the first deflections, we cut to the designated square in the center.
4. The edges that we cut are folded along the curves, so we get the walls of the box.
5. We bend the sharp ends of the walls inward, towards the center of the square.
6. Using the remaining uncurled paper tongues, we grab the curved ends, thereby wrapping them inward.

We have a box-lid.

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 will fit freely under the previously made lid.

To secure the gift inside, place a napkin or light paper in a crumpled form. As you may have noticed, making a gift box with your own hands is quite simple. The colored braid with which we will tie our box will help to add originality and an interesting accent.

Box with a secret

And now we invite you to make small gift boxes with a surprise. The so-called fake box: when the lid is removed, it swings open. You can see how to make a lid in the second option described above.

• Scissors, glue, thick paper;
• Old cards, beads, ribbon;
• Decorations, decorative ribbons.

Important! If you decide to make the bottom 18x18 cm, then for the lid you need 1 cm more, that is, 19x19 cm.

Step-by-step master class:

• The box itself is made in this way: we divide the sheet into nine equal squares; we don’t need the corner ones, they need to be cut out. We bend the remaining squares inward, forming a box.
• We decorate the inside as your imagination desires ( nice wishes or poems), glue beads, rhinestones, buttons, drawings from postcards, a small bouquet.

Important! Don’t go overboard with the decor so that the gift remains the main focus of your surprise.

• Now you can put the gift in the middle, put the walls of the box together and cover it with a lid, you can also tie it with ribbon.

Felt box

Felt is a miracle material from which you can create not only handbags, jewelry, toys, but also beautiful gift packaging.

• Colored felt - its density varies, depending on the thickness of the sheet, choose the most convenient and flexible one so that it is convenient to sew;
• Threads with a needle;
• Ruler;
• Glue (super or hot glue),
• Scissors;

Master class step by step:

1. Draw the canvas with a pencil to leave fewer marks and not stain the fabric, into 9 squares. You can also use rectangles, cut out the corners.

3. Carefully bend the walls and sew them together. More interesting and unusual looking Add seams with contrasting threads. In general, there are no restrictions, so you can experiment freely.

Important! Felt boxes can later also serve as a box for various small items or decorations. It is also possible to use them during competitions for children and all kinds of holidays.

Beautiful box in the shape of a flower

If you need a minimum of costs and time spent, then there is an option for you: a simple box without glue:

1. We print it out or you can redraw the template on colored paper.
2. We cut out the workpiece, create folds along the lines, and use a ruler.
3. If your paper is white, then turn the workpiece over to the front side and tint it over the entire surface or just the edges using a sponge and a stamping pad (you can also use pastels or watercolors).
4. We hide our present in the middle, and we can collect the “petals” from above.

Box with a heart

For special occasions, we can make such a delicate and romantic paper box with our own hands.

Materials

For this you need to take:

5. We decorate the lid with flowers made of paper or fabric, stripes with beads.
6. We do the bottom the same way.
7. At the end of the work we supplement the composition with ribbon.

Cardboard gift packaging

To make cardboard gift packaging we need:

• Sheet of cardboard;
• Scissors or compass;
• Scheme;
• Double-sided tape or glue.

Let's get started:

1. We cut out a rectangular box template from a single sheet, as shown in the diagram.
