Even a child can make such a box; there is nothing complicated here. But, of course, most of all he will like to decorate it to his taste.
Materials and tools:
• colored cardboard (blue);
• PVA glue";
• colored paper (pink, red);
• pencil, ruler;
• hole puncher;
• sequins (purple);
• narrow ribbon (pink);
• scissors.
1. First we make a scan for our future box. It is best to use double-sided cardboard, but you can also use regular colored cardboard or thick paper. On blue cardboard, with a pencil, draw a square with a side of 5 cm and four sides 5 cm high. We also mark the locations for the holes. Using strokes we show the places where the box folds.
2. Cut out the development with scissors, make holes in the marked places using a hole punch.
3. Let's start decorating the gift box.We print on a printer (or write by hand) the inscription For you. Cut out letters from pink paper. Cut out a small heart from red paper.
4. Glue a red heart on the side that will be in front. Place the inscription below, just above the fold line.
5. Next, decorate the box with sequins. On the side with the inscription we glue several pieces just above the letters. On the other three sides we glue four pieces in random order. Apply a drop of glue to the sequin and press it against the cardboard for a few seconds.
6. After decorating the box with sequins. Let's start assembling it. We bend each side inward along the previously marked dotted lines. In order for the cardboard to bend accurately and evenly along the lines, without breaking, you must first apply a ruler to the lines and draw along them with the tip of scissors. If you use this method, you get neat folds.
7. Now you need to tie the gift box, but before that don’t forget to put present! We do it as follows. Fold the opposite side parts and thread the ribbon through, tying it in a knot. After this, we again insert each end of the ribbon into the opposite side parts and tie it with a bow.
8. The final touch to the decor of the box is a red heart. We attach it to the end of the tied ribbon using glue. Apply glue to the heart.
9. You can decorate the box in different ways. For example, use children's stickers. This is very easy to do without spending a lot of time. Your child will definitely love this gift box.
You can paint a gift box, make a pattern with pencils, felt-tip pens or paints, and stamp it with children's stamps.It all depends on your imagination and abilities.
