WEDDING GIFT BOX

Send

Each of us, at least once in our life, was invited to a wedding, and someone even had the chance to be an honorary witness. On the eve of the wedding, several invited questions arise before each invited guest: the first is what to wear, and the second is a gift. If the first in most cases is solved with the help of a cabinet revision and fitting several outfits, the second requires a good understanding of the interests of the newlyweds. Very often, the choice of guests falls on cash gifts or household appliances (documents for appliances are most often presented at a wedding). We suggest you make a small box for a gift or money. A box is suitable for a small gift for a birthday, Valentine's Day or any other holiday.
It will be useful to us:
- white thick paper or cardboard;
- ruler;
- a pencil;
- scissors;
- decorative cardboard or beautiful wallpaper;
- glue or double-sided tape;
- tape;
- in fact, the gift itself.
Let's get down to work. Stages of manufacturing a decorative box.
1. We will make the frame for the future boxes. Precisely size the gift. To the size of the gift add another 1 cm on each side - these will be the sides. For our gift (we gave the disk) we determined the box sizes: 12.5 cm by 12.5 cm. Adding 1 centimeter on each side, we got a square base of 14.5 * 14.5 cm.
2. Draw 4 lines above each side of the square: the distance between the square and the first line is 1.5 cm, between the first and second - 1 cm, between the second and third - 1.5 cm, between the third and fourth - 1 cm. You should get a big square.

3. Trim the small squares where the drawn lines intersect. The result was a cross-shaped piece of paper. On two parallel sections, you need to make small incisions. On the first strip from the edge, trim a small triangle, on the second - a 1.5 by 1 cm rectangle, on the third - a triangle. As a result, you should get a trapezoidal neckline on two sides.

4. Bend the frame along the lines drawn with a pencil so that the edges of the cardboard bend inward.

5. Using stationery glue or double-sided stationery tape (construction tape does not work, it is too thick), connect the outer strip and the square base of the box.

Also do with all the other sides of the box.

6. From decorative cardboard or beautiful wallpaper (for example, we used non-woven wallpaper that remained after the repair), cut out a rectangle whose size can be easily calculated: the width corresponds to the width of the base, and the length is calculated by the formula - (the length of the future box * 2) + (side width * 2) = small seam allowance. We got a width of 14.5 cm, and a length of 32 cm + 1 cm per seam.
