3. How to make gift wrapping with your own hands (option 3)
A surprise balloon is a very original and inexpensive way to give a child a holiday gift. Such balloons can be given to all children who come to your child for his birthday or for some other occasion. It’s even better not to give them as gifts, but to hide them in the apartment, and whoever finds which ball will receive it. Making a ball with a surprise is not at all difficult; it is more difficult to choose a useful “filling” for it. The “stuffing” can be any small interesting things, toys, high-quality sweets, for example: children’s jewelry, wristwatches, hairpins, small cars or dolls, stickers, shells, beautiful pebbles, balloons, a mirror, a notebook, magnets, animal figurines, cookies , sweets and much, much more. To make one ball, it will be enough to prepare 3-4 things.
The surprises prepared in advance will need to be wrapped with ribbons of corrugated paper, so that you end up with a cocoon in the shape of a ball with gifts hidden inside. It is better to place the most valuable thing in the center of the ball. The process of making a surprise ball is reminiscent of an episode from the movie “The Diamond Arm,” in which smugglers hid jewelry in plaster.
The finished ball can be decorated if desired.

New Year's packaging for sweets and other nice little things can be made from craft paper. Like this:

It’s true what they say, the real miracle of the holiday is its anticipation. When in the house you feel that same premonition of something magical, kind, bright. I would especially like to convey this feeling in a New Year’s gift. Therefore, an important stage in preparing for the holidays is not only the purchase itself, but also the packaging of sweets and long-awaited surprises under the Christmas tree. Santa Claus knows a lot about gift wrapping, doesn't he?
From the heart
Once upon a time, our mothers and grandmothers kept and passed from hand to hand for a long time plastic bags that were fashionable at that time with beautiful New Year's photos, flowers, fairy tale and cartoon characters.Nowadays there are a lot of packaging options.
Sometimes you receive a gift, and it’s a pity to unpack it, the cover is so beautiful and original.Of course, you can pack the gift immediately after purchase in specialized departments of supermarkets or put it in a ready-made paper bag. But it’s much more pleasant to arrange a surprise yourself, showing diligence and imagination.
A sea of ideas
We offer you an overview of interesting ideas using various techniques and materials.
Most often, boxes wrapped in kraft paper or special wrapping paper in rolls with themed pictures are used for packaging.This inexpensive option still requires some work.
As a rule, the package is wrapped with ribbon, decorative tape, and decorated with a bow or decorative elements.
We can glue a snowflake made of white, multi-colored or shiny paper, or bright pompoms to the bag.
A beautiful composition will be made from natural materials: twigs, cones.
Decorative elements in the form of balls, Christmas trees, mittens and stars can not be glued, but put on wrapping tape or twine.
Let's draw a Christmas tree on paper, cut out half using a breadboard knife, bend it back a little so that the bottom layer of a different color or box becomes visible. Let's glue cotton or foam balls or a small snowman, snowmen made from cotton pads - in any case, the packaging will become unique!
If we want, we’ll place Santa on the package from colored cardboard or make a cockerel out of the package by gluing a red comb, beard and yellow beak. Photo
Children will be happy to receive gifts decorated in the form of funny bears, hares, and deer.
For a small gift, we’ll make a funny box using a simple pattern, and wrap the chocolate in a snowman package.
What do you think of the idea of decorating packages with Christmas balls?
We will replace traditional bags with handmade ones, sewn from knitwear and burlap, and decorate them with pine cones, lace napkins and Christmas trees. Let's put funny hats on craft bags or glue eyes on them - we'll get wonderful owls! Let's turn the envelopes into deer, the cylinder into a large candy. And for several gifts we will make a stylish holiday set.

Gift boxes from templates
Currently, on the Internet, you can find a huge variety of stencils and templates of the most creative options. All you need to do is download and print the details. If the project is quite large, several sheets will be needed. Next, using the received stencils, we cut out finished parts from selected materials. In this case, gift cardboard is perfect. We apply all folds correctly and glue them along the marked lines. As a result, you will get a rather beautiful package that can be decorated with a ribbon.
The use of stencils and templates comes down to one technique, so if you use templates for DIY gift boxes, then follow the instructions. As a result, you will get an excellent and creative craft for storing New Year's gifts.

Greetings to all of you, dear audience. Holidays never end for us all our lives - as soon as Someone’s Birthday has passed, the New Year has already arrived, and then there are other winter-spring holidays... And for each of them we give gifts that we want to present at least interestingly. And what if not a DIY gift box will help with this?
I myself really like to congratulate my relatives in an original way. It’s very nice to see the smiles of those you congratulate. And cute boxes always contribute to this! After all, they are the first thing that catches your eye when presenting a gift.
How to make a gift box with your own hands
Gift packaging can be very diverse. But there is one rule - the cardboard or paper from which you want to make a box must be of the required quality. In this sense, classic children's cardboard is far from suitable.
Where can I get such cardboard or paper? First of all, in specialized stores for creativity or even scrapbooking separately. It’s good if there is such a store in the city, you say, but what if you don’t have one at hand or the prices are sky-high?
These leaves will be enough for you to make small souvenir boxes (for jewelry, sweets, toys, etc.). Your family will appreciate it
And now I suggest you proceed to the actual detailed photo master classes, which will also include a diagram for creating each individual box.
Master classes on creating boxes from cardboard and paper
Small boxes
First of all, I want to give you 5 designs with very cute patterns that will make this wonderful packaging:
The first one has red roses. If you want to impress your lover, then she is definitely for you.
Principles of working with templates:
- Print the layout you like on thick paper.
- Cut out the future box along the contour and cut in those places where there are straight lines (focus on the light scans - the location of the lines is the same everywhere).
- Fold the box along the dotted lines and glue it so that the parts with semicircular ends lie between the other two and the round ends point up.
- That's it, all that remains is to bend the lid properly.
And again roses, but more delicate.
And now there are two options for Birthdays - candies with balls and lollipops.
Large rectangular
This is perfect for large gifts (for example, wall clocks). You will need specialized binding cardboard to make the box really convenient. By the way, binding cardboard can also be purchased in specialized stores or on Ali.
The incision sites are marked in orange. The lid can be made the same way, but with slightly larger dimensions (2-3 mm).
For a man
If the gift is intended for a man, then I suggest choosing one of the following options.
Simple shapes are on trend - this is proven by the following 4 templates for creating strict, classic boxes. For these you will again need thick cardboard.
If the gift is intended for a loved one, then there should be more than enough romance ^^ There are butterflies, hearts, and all kinds of declarations of love. They can be made from thick cardboard or thick paper.
Heart
Heart boxes are very popular because you can use them to express your feelings. Or admit them
Cake
Are you getting ready for a party where everyone will need to be given a little surprise? Or maybe a wedding is planned? In both cases, cardboard pieces of cake will come to the rescue.
A beautiful and clear diagram is suitable for both the bottom and the lid.
Paper boxes
Boxes don't always need to be dense - sometimes it's enough just to create a beautiful picture. Then I suggest you use this convenient scheme of 6 different packages:
If you are going to a child’s party (or maybe you want to please your child), then make him a cute box in the shape of an animal.
Give such a boot to happy parents. Follow the traditions: pink for girls, blue for boys.
Boxes for the New Year
The mood can be created not only with the help of gifts) Just look at these 8 lovely boxes, each of which can also become an excellent New Year's decoration
This is especially necessary if for some reason there is no New Year's tree. The main thing in this packaging is to trim the edges beautifully and neatly.
Snowflake
Of course, this box itself is wonderful, but the silver paint on the tips of the snowflakes can add some zest.
Tip: Give something in this package to a girl who loves Frozen.
Bag
For giving a gift - one of the simplest options.
Box of sweets
For all lovers of beautiful New Year's favors and quick handmade items! Take a plastic cup with a smooth surface, cut the edge and cut the edge.
Fold the cut pieces inward so that they cling to each other. Place some goodies inside and cover the top with something cute.
Another option for candy packaging is a donut. It is a little more labor-intensive, but more effective.
How to decorate a box with your own hands
