Men's card-box for a gift

Choosing a gift for a man is a whole fuss, but also with everything else, as a rule, with zero final result. What should you give a man for an anniversary, celebration, birthday, or just to thank him for something? What can you give to a man who, as a rule, just has everything? It seemed simply impossible and unrealistic to surprise him. But basically, such men really appreciate present and handmade souvenirs, in which there are a lot of positive and good emotions that the master puts into this thing. For example, you need to thank a teacher, doctor, professor, or give a gift on an anniversary or birthday, and you are going to give money and chocolate, this master class will be very good and useful for this. In it we will learn how to make a “Chocolate Girl” postcard, in which you can put both money and a sweet souvenir.

What we take for this master class:
• Dark brown pastel paper, A4 format;
• Scrapbooking paper in three shades and different sizes on a masculine theme in beige and brown tones;
• Two color pictures on a masculine theme, one round and the other rectangular;
• Metal pendant of a silver key;
• Brown semi-pearls with a diameter of 4 mm;
• Three-color half bead with a diameter of 8 mm;
• Stamped “Congratulations” and gold ink pad;
• Brown hydrangea flower 2.5 cm in diameter;
• Brown rep ribbon with white polka dots, diameter 1 cm;
• Satin brown ribbon with white hearts, diameter 1 cm;
• Dark gold metal corner;
• Double-sided tape;
• Scissors;
• Pencil;
• PVA glue;
• Rubber;
• Ruler;
• Glue gun;
• Sewing machine.




Turn over a sheet of pastel paper, measure 21 cm in length on the left, and retreat 2.8 cm from the top and bottom. We cut off the excess from the top and bottom and measure another 8.5 cm in length from the remaining paper over the entire width of the sheet. This will be the inside of the postcard. We cut off the excess. According to the width at the indentation at the top and bottom, where there are 2.8 cm each, we divide by 1.4. We draw bend lines and get a double fold, with which we get a box. The height of the postcard-box will be 15.5 cm, and the width 9 cm. We make all the lines for bending and make them with scissors and a ruler, or a special stick.




We bend and fold along the bend lines. Now let's take scrap paper. We have one sheet measuring 20*20 cm, and the other two are of arbitrary size.




From a large sheet of paper we measure and cut out two rectangles of 8.5*15 cm. From the rest of this sheet we cut a rectangle of 3*13 cm. From the second sheet of scrap paper we cut out a blank 8*15 cm, and from the third 5.5*12.5. We glue the small blanks onto the larger ones with double-sided tape, as in the photo.




We measure out two pieces of 10 cm each from a brown satin ribbon, and process the edges with fire.We glue these sections to the front and back of the postcard at the same level.




We sew two-color rectangles on a sewing machine. To one rectangle, which will be on the front, we apply a brown grosgrain ribbon with polka dots, approximately 10 cm long.




We wrap it and glue it on the back side with tape, then sew the tape on a machine. Also, we first glue a rectangular picture with tape, sew it around the perimeter with a machine, then a little to the right and closer to the upper corner we glue a round picture with a clock and also sew it in a circle using a machine. Glue all the rectangles onto the base.




We sew each one separately by machine.




We wrap the inside and glue it with PVA glue, making it into a box. Close the card, tie a bow and glue the remaining one with a glue gun. decor, as in the photo.




At the bottom we glue the inscription “Congratulations” pre-cut and tinted along the edge with gold. All that remains is to invest money and a chocolate bar and the finished Chocolate Girl postcard! Thank you all for your attention and the creation process!
