These are great craft projects for those young and old. No matter what the occasion may be, it is super simple to make these. Once they’re created, you put in your favorite candies and then shove a message in there. They’re super simple to make, and are a fun creative endeavor.
The materials for this are all items that you have at home, such as paper, scissors, a scale, a cutter, ribbon, adhesive, a pencil, and even some decorative mirrors.
Now the first step is to get some A4 paper with measurements about 21×21 centimeters. Once that’s ut, measure it, and from there make little markings every 7 cm each. Through these markings, you then can make little columns that contain three squares each time. From that point, cut the rest of the paper strip.
At this point, you make diagonals in the four squares of the most extreme corners of this. Once that’s done, you make a vertical crease and then a horizontal crease along the lines, creating four creases. From there, you fold the outermost part into a triangle, and from there, you’ll get a shape of a box. You do his with the rest of the squares.
At this point, you paste the paper so that it holds a box shape. Usually an adhesive works for this.
To make the lid, you essentially take a sheet of handmade paper that’s lighter than the box that you used. From there, mark out about 9 cm in length and also width. From there, cut out a square with the dimensions.
Once that’s finished up, you make a 1 cm marking on each of the various corners. After making the markings, you draw lines on all four sides of this, so you can have a 1 cm square in each corner. From there, you cut the squares on one side and then fold the sides into there, and from there, you put the lid on top of the box itself. From there, you decorate the box and rap it on four sides, and then a large ribbon made of satin can be put at the top of this. From there, you simply decorate with the decorative mirrors or various crafting items that work for this. You can personalize it however you want.
And that’s it! These little gift boxes are perfect for different occasions, and you can customize the outside of these for the reason you’re making it, and within 5 minutes, you can have a gift box that’s handmade and looks beautiful for yourself, and for others as well.
