Classic gift box

And for classical lovers there is such an option: a small box for a small gift. We will need the following materials:

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

Step by step we will consider the whole process, how to make such a box of paper with our own hands. For billets you need two squares - large and small. The difference in size is 1 cm, for example 15:15 and 14:14.We will issue them:

1. Select the lines of squares diagonally, after - bend the corners to the center.
2. Further angles bent to the center, you need to bend to the opposite fold line, and then to the near fold line. A square should form in the center, which later becomes our future bottom.
3. After this, on both sides of the formed diagonals, cut the first deflections to the designated square in the center.
4. The edges that we cut, we fold along the bends, so we get the walls of the box.
5. The sharp tips of the walls bend inward, toward the center of the square.
6. With the remaining non-folded tabs of paper we grab the bent tips, thereby wrapping them inside.

We got a box-cover.

With the second square we do the same manipulations, 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 cover.

Important! To create this option, we recommend using thick paper. It will contain a small gift, approximately 5-6 cm and a height of 2-3 cm. Such a one that fits in your palm.

To fix the gift in, put a napkin or light paper in the crumpled form on the bottom. As you can see, making a gift box by oneself is quite easy. To give originality and an interesting accent, the colored braid will help, which we will bandage our box.
