We will need:
• small boxes with a solid lid (you can glue them together yourself from cardboard);
• colored paper;
• holiday stickers;
• glue;
• a simple slate pencil;
• scissors;
• ruler;
• pieces of New Year's “rain” or other decorative elements (beads, ribbons, bows, etc.).
Step by step instructions
1. Each box must be measured with a ruler. Draw ribbons on sheets of colored paper. The length and width of the parts must correspond to the parameters of the boxes. The strips are cut out, leaving a small (up to half a centimeter) allowance.
2. Blanks of the same shade are pasted over the inside surface of the box. Start decorating from the center of the bottom to the lid.
3. The outside of the box must be covered with paper strips of a different color. It is recommended to choose a bright, rich shade (yellow, red, green or blue).
4. Glue a square of the third shade of colored paper onto the front outer plane of the box.The size of the part must exactly match the parameters of the surface, but be two centimeters less in height.
5. An original, festive sticker is placed on the front of the box as a decorative element. You can choose a picture based on the theme of the celebration (wedding rings, a basket of Easter eggs or a Christmas tree).
6. Cut out an even circle with a radius of about ten centimeters from colored paper.
7. Four diameters are drawn from the center of the workpiece, dividing the circle into eight equal petals.
8. Using scissors, carefully make cuts without reaching the center of the workpiece.
9. The edge of each petal is fastened in the form of a corner, forming a three-dimensional flower using this method.
10. The flower is glued to the outside of the box lid and the product is left for several minutes.
11. Bright ribbons, beads or Christmas tree decorations are attached to the center of the paper flower using glue.
The result should be a beautiful holiday gift wrapping. In this way you can decorate boxes of any size. Operating time, as a rule, does not exceed forty minutes.
