And if you pack real home-made soap or jewelry made on your own in it, then the admiring words of the birthday man are provided to you.
How to make a box of paper with your own hands?
Simple option - one-color model, it is very fast and easy.
1. To make it, you will need two square sheets of color cardboard. The size of the sheet will depend on the volume of the intended box. One sheet is needed for the manufacture of the base, the second - for the cover.
2. First, we will complete the basis of our accessory. To do this, take a sheet of cardboard and outline the fold lines. If you want the box to be square, just fold two opposite edges to the center and iron the folds. Expand. Now do the same with the other two edges.
3. Next, on each square obtained at the four corners of the box, make one cut equal to the length of the short square. Using this technology, standard packing boxes are made, for example, for household appliances.
4. It remains to roll up our workpiece, bend the resulting edges inward and glue.
5. We make a cover. And the box of paper with your own hands is ready.
However, there are more complex options that allow you to create real masterpieces. For instance, multi-colored an origami paper box will be created on the basis of an interesting Japanese technique.
1. To make it, you will need 4 identical sheets of paper, the color of which you can choose to your liking. All 4 parts are made according to the same scheme.
2. The sheet of paper needs to be bent in half, first once, then folded and do the same procedure with the other side. Then we need to outline the diagonal folds. We add the square diagonally, first on one side, then on the other side.
3. Next, deploy everything again. Now add the side corners to the middle in turn. In the resulting envelope, we bend two opposite sides to the center, outlining the folds, and then completely rotate the two corners. We make two folds on the sides in the region of opposite angles, bending them to the center.
4. Now we raise the lateral angles along the outlined arrows, forming a box. We bend the last remaining corner from above and fix the bottom of our model. And now a beautiful box of paper, the scheme of which is quite simple, is ready.
5. Now it remains to make the three remaining boxes, and then put them into each other as shown in the picture.
A box of paper made by yourself using any of the proposed technologies will look more original if you decorate it with a beautiful bow by gluing it to the lid. Now it remains to put a prepared gift in it and hand it to her birthday.
