DIY beautiful Christmas boxes. How to decorate a New Year's gift? Ideas, shapes and photos of beautiful boxes for gifts with your own hands

Greetings to all of you, dear audience. Holidays do not end all our lives - only someone's birthday has passed, as the New Year has already arrived, and there are other winter and spring holidays ... And for each of them we give presents that we want to present at least interestingly. And what if not a do-it-yourself gift box will help with this?

I myself really like to congratulate my relatives in an original way. It is very nice to see the smiles of those whom you congratulate. And cute boxes always contribute to this! After all, they are the first thing that catches your eye when giving a presentation.

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 also 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, from which you will get such a wonderful package:

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

Principles of working with templates:

1. Print your favorite flat pattern on thick paper.
2. Cut the future box along the contour and cut in those places where the straight lines pass (focus on the 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. That's all, it remains only to bend the lid properly.

And again roses, but more delicate.

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 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 beloved, 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.

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

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

Especially needed if, for some reason, there is no Christmas 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

For presenting a gift - one of the easiest 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, trim off the edge, and slice off 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.

How to decorate a box with your own hands

The design of the box can be very diverse - from simple shapes in the form of birds and hearts to intricate flowers and bows. I will write about the decor of the boxes in the future - do not miss it.

In the meantime, subscribe and comment - see you soon!

Best regards, Anastasia Skoreeva

On New Year's Eve, everyone loves to receive gifts. Both children and adults.

And the gift starts with the packaging.

Still not knowing what kind of gift there is, we are already intrigued.



And if, at the same time, the design is beautiful, then the heart begins to pound with joy, not yet seeing what is inside.

You can think of the simplest boxes.

Sometimes you just need to wrap a gift in pretty paper and tie it with a ribbon.

You can present a gift with a symbol of the coming New Year.



Or you can wrap a Christmas tree gift.











Master Class

And for holiday boxes and materials, you will need nothing at all: a color printer or paper for a printer, preferably colored, thick paper or cardboard, scissors, glue and your imagination.





A great idea to make a box in the form of a Christmas tree, do it yourself. Such boxes are difficult to find on sale, it is easier to make yourself and decorate at will, as you like. There is such an idea for a gift box.



First, we need to cut out such a template from cardboard for the box.



This is what the already cut template looks like.



Now, you need to bend along the dotted lines, as in the photo



We glue the middle



and now, add it as in the photo.



Here are the sizes of our parts, if you wish, you can make it larger or smaller.



It remains to secure the top with a ribbon with a bow or make a beautiful flower out of the ribbon and tie the top of our gift box.



DIY Christmas gift box.

Wrapping a gift beautifully is a talent. A Christmas box in the shape of a Christmas tree will greatly facilitate your question: how beautiful to give a gift. Especially children will be pleased to receive a gift in such a Christmas tree.

Using the template shown below in the photo, we cut out the future herringbone box from the cardboard. We turn it over with the colored side down (if the cardboard is colored on one side), at the ends we make holes for the ribbon with a hole punch. We fold the box, tie it with a ribbon.









I took it here.

Another version of the Christmas tree box:



Cut out two halves from which we will fold the box. Note. they are different.



We fold them as shown in the photo.









To make a box in the shape of a Christmas tree, just take an A3 sheet and sketch a square on it with a ruler. Then, elongated triangles on four sides, draw in even waves to make a connection along them.

At the top there are four holes, decorate with delicate watercolors, glue in rhinestones or cover with sparkles, connect the edges, and the tops with a beautiful ribbon on which to hang the name. The final option is to put a gift inside, put it under the tree.

Photo schemes:





Preparing for the New Year, you can make original gift boxes in the form of locks. It is interesting, and for the money it is cheap, and also children can be attracted to handmey.

So, we need:

• Double-sided cardboard
• Lki template
• Ruler
• Gon
• Scissors
• Pencil
• Elastic
• Ribbon

Step 1

We take a Christmas tree template and draw it on cardboard, so that there are ears on the sides and so that our future box is symmetrical.



Step 2.

We apply our blank to the cardboard, outline it with a pencil. The bottom will be the bottom of the box.



Step 3.

At a right angle, with a ruler and a square, we circle the template on one more side.



Step 4

As a result, you should get this pattern.



Step 5.

We carefully cut it out, erase the pencil with an eraser and glue the joints of the Christmas tree.



As a result, you should get such a box. Which you can further decorate to your liking.



I want to propose to make you just such a simple and at the same time very interesting box for gifts in the form of a cute New Year's bauble:



This box is made of green cardboard. All we need is to first draw the figure shown in the figure on the back of the cardboard, and then bend, glue and cut, putting the gift in advance.

And here is one more option for the box:



We also draw and cut out, all that remains is the skeleton, putting the gift.

And here's what happens on paper:



We make packing for a gift in the shape of a Christmas tree of thick colored paper.

The proposed options are simple, even a not very skillful person can master them.

The main thing is to first make an appropriate stencil on plain paper, according to which the future packaging is cut out of wrapping paper. As a wrapping paper, you can also take gift paper with pictures on the New Year's theme - it will be even more original.

Good luck in your work!

For those who especially do not want to strain, the photo below offers a simpler option = fold the gifts in the shape of a Christmas tree, tie them with a beautiful ribbon.







The simplest, classic and unoriginal option: create a box familiar to everyone, the shape of which would repeat the silhouette of a Christmas tree, and not an abstract rectangle. Its appearance will be like this:



We take such a stencil and cut out the Christmas tree itself from cardboard in 2 copies (the lid and bottom of our box):





Based on my experience in creating such crafts, upon completion of the work, the box needs to be decorated with wrapping paper and tape in order to give a decent look and mask all the flaws.

Textile napkin

A couple of fresh crispy baguettes and a jar of marmalade wrapped in a party napkin and complemented by a wooden juicer. This is one of thousands of edible gift options for food lovers and true aesthetes. Try to fantasize a little on this topic: instead of marmalade, put a jar of pâté in a napkin, and homemade pancakes instead of baguettes.

You can make cute tags for original gift wrapping with your own hands by cutting out small squares from thick paper and processing their edges with curly scissors.

Kraft paper and thread

Agree, this is the best packaging for soft New Year's gifts: mittens, scarves and woolen socks. Fold two sheets of craft paper together and draw a star, sock, heart, or Christmas tree shape on them. Cut out the shape, put the gift between the layers and sew on a typewriter with a contrasting thread (red or gold), stepping back from the edge about 1-2 cm.

Paper scraps

Wrap the gift in white wrapping paper and slide a small strip of decorative paper over the center of the paper. Arrange the packaging with a cord and attach a small piece to complement the gift. On top, stick a sticker with congratulations. Great idea for wrapping New Year's gifts!

Potatoes and paints

Take a piece of fabric so that you can easily fit the gift into it. Cut a large potato in half and carefully cut the shape of the letter with a knife. Blot excess moisture with a paper towel, and apply acrylic paint on the cut out letter. Then press the "seal" against the fabric.

Old maps

Pages from the old atlas and roadmaps look very stylish as a DIY gift wrapping. And instead of tying a bow on top, add unusual details to the package: paint a leaf of a houseplant with gold spray, use a bright button and lace, or make a flower from rags of fabric.

Newspapers and twine

Food white paper is a great backdrop for silhouettes with Christmas symbols. Print and cut stencils, translate them into newspaper pages or brown kraft paper, and then cut out the silhouettes. Glue them to the box in several places and tie the gift with a simple string.

Hairpins and buckles

Another original idea for wrapping New Year's gifts. Beautiful belt buckles and hairpin details are perfect for decorating a gift box. The buckle will not only add a glamorous look to the gift, but will also fix the ribbon. So the next time you want to throw out your old belt, think about how a cute buckle can decorate your gift.

Graceful homemade products

Make your own wrapping paper using stamp seals and metallic ink available from hobby stores. Combine color and patterns.

On the eve of New Year's holidays, shop windows are full of gift boxes, decorative bags, wrapping paper for every taste. Smiling sellers helpfully offer to provide services for wrapping New Year's gifts. And it seems that all this is great, because you must agree, it is much more pleasant to receive a New Year's trifle in a beautiful package. But on the other hand, the whole meaning of the gift is lost, the very gift that should be intended specifically for you.

The recipient of the gift will be doubly pleased if, in addition to choosing a gift, you spend a little more time packing it. In this article we will teach you how to make paper or cardboard gift boxes with your own hands. It is not at all difficult to do this, because all the crafts presented with us are accompanied by ready-made diagrams, templates and step-by-step master classes. You just have to choose the appropriate box option, print the diagram and glue the paper box according to the instructions.

So, before we get started, let's check if you have everything ready. To make a do-it-yourself paper gift box, you will need: beautiful wrapping paper (you can do with plain white paper and then decorate it), scissors, a pencil, a ruler, glue or double-sided tape, a stationery knife.

Ideas, shapes and photos of beautiful boxes for gifts with your own hands

If you want to show your friend or relative all your respect and love, then try making a gift box with your own hands. If possible, try to show all your imagination and make the most original packaging. If you wish, you can make a round, triangular and diamond-shaped box, or make a package that visually resembles a flower, a house, a fruit or even a diamond.

Of course, the latter options will require a little more craftsmen, but in the end you will get a unique item that you definitely cannot buy in the store. The only thing you should remember is that these kinds of crafts love accuracy. In this case, when cutting out the template, you cannot afford to deviate from the line in one direction or the other.

You should cut all the lines as accurately as possible, trying to create perfectly straight edges. If this stage of work is not carried out as it should, then with a high probability we can say that in the end the box will turn out to be not entirely presentable.

How to make a box of cardboard for a gift: template, pattern

If you are new to this business, then you need to start your acquaintance with this type of needlework with the simplest things. Believe me, if you do everything right, even an ordinary square box will look attractive. Now we will present to your attention a master class with which you can make a rectangular gift box.

To make it, you only need glue, scissors and special cardboard. If you don't have one, don't be too upset. You can quite easily take even the one that children use in class at school and make a frame of crafts out of it. Just in this case, after the box is ready, you will have to decorate it additionally. This can be done using the decoupage technique or using organza, tulle or satin ribbons.

How to make a small mini paper gift box: template, pattern

If you plan to present a small present to a loved one, then you can make a small box for such a gift. It is best to make a similar craft, like the previous one, from thick paper. If you make it out of thin, then there is a possibility that it will not keep the desired shape, or it will simply break from the mechanical effect that the present will exert on its walls.

Yes, and in this case it is extremely important to be as responsible as possible about the fastening of all side parts. Since these crafts do not provide for the presence of secret locks, it will be better if you fix everything with glue or double-sided tape. If the first box seems too simple for you, then below we have placed two more rather interesting templates, by printing which you can easily make pretty cute crafts.

How to make a scrapbooking box for a gift?

If you want to surprise your loved one for real, then make a scrapbooking box for him. To make it, you will need both ordinary cardboard and special scrapbooking paper. You will make a solid frame out of cardboard, and use paper to give it a festive look. The best part is that in this case you will have a huge field for imagination. Since it is assumed that this box will be untied, you can decorate it both from the inside and from the outside.

Moreover, if you wish, you can even provide places for small presents in those parts of the craft that will recline. For example, you can make places there for notes in which you write the most pleasant words. But keep in mind that congratulatory notes fit well into the overall style of the gift box, they must be kept in the same color scheme as it.

How to make an origami gift box?

Recently, the origami technique has become so popular that even gift boxes have begun to be made with its help. In principle, you can make such a craft out of any colored paper, but since you are still making a product for an important holiday, it will be better if you spend money on scrapbooking paper.

In this case, you will not need additional decoration of the inner part of the product, as you will immediately make it the way it should be. The only thing you have to consider is that to create a box, the master class of which is posted above, you need to use two square sheets, one of which will be literally 11-12 millimeters smaller. If you do not take into account this nuance, then in the end you simply will not be able to combine the two parts into one craft.

How to make a gift box with a lid?

A gift box with a lid is the ideal packaging for heavier and heavier gifts. If you make it a little more than shown in the master class, you can complement the main gift with sweets, boutonnieres made of fresh flowers and postcards made with your own hands. As you probably already understood, making such a box is best made of thick cardboard.

If you have the opportunity, then purchase it in a specialty store, or go to the nearest supermarket and take any paper box there. After bringing it home, lay it out horizontally and place something heavy underneath. Leave it in this position for literally an hour, and then proceed to drawing the frame of the future craft. This little trick will help you smooth out the curves that would likely get in the way of your masterpiece.

How to make a surprise gift box?

In principle, a surprise box can have a completely different shape, color and decor. In this case, everything will depend solely on what event you are going to. If you go to an employee's birthday party, then it can be a completely standard square and rectangular box, inside which, in addition to the present itself, a leaflet with wishes will be laid (it should be as long as possible and folded into an accordion).

If you are going to a holiday for a child, then make a gift box for him in the form of a piece of cake and be sure to install a couple of cartoon characters made of cardboard inside. And in order for them to really be a surprise for the kid, fix the figures on flexible springs that will push them out as soon as the lid is removed from the box.

How to make a gift box with wishes?

If you want your gift box to be both a packaging and a greeting card, then make it in the form of a pyramid. In the photo above, you can see the templates by which you can make a small pyramid. But if you try to increase the scale of the picture, you will eventually be able to make a pyramid on which you can place your wishes.
