Is there really a need for wrapping for gifts for the New Year

Why have different kinds of gift boxes become so popular? If we approach the presentation of gifts from the standpoint of "and without packaging it is good", then it is enough to imagine a picture of how all the gifts lie under the Christmas tree in a large heap. And without the proper approach, this will be a real bunch, besides, it is simply not clear where whose gift is. To give a loved one special joy, you need to competently approach the issue of presenting a presentation: we are not lazy and we prepare gift boxes for the New Year with our own hands.

What you need to make DIY Christmas boxes

Depending on the expected result, a suitable material for packaging products is selected. Cardboard is best suited for this purpose: you can take white, if you mean decor, colored, with a print, or use thick paper for scrapbooking.

Ready-made thematic sets contain several sheets. The average size of the sheets is always 30 × 30 cm.If the box is supposed to be small, then one sheet is enough

There is a fun way to turn ordinary cardboard into painted one. To do this, purchase a large New Year's napkin. A cling film is very carefully applied to the cardboard, a napkin is spread on top. On top of the napkin, through a sheet of A4 office paper, the cardboard is ironed with an iron on medium heat. Thanks to the cling film, the napkin will perfectly adhere to the cardboard, making it colorful.

Also, depending on the type of product, you may need a box template, a ruler, a simple pencil, scissors, a satin ribbon or string for strings.

To build a round product with a lid, they are guided by the fact that the diameter of the lid should slightly exceed the diameter of the base. The height of the model can be any, but to get the perfect container for gifts, we measure the length of the base of the circle-bottom. This wide strip should have a series of "teeth" that will serve to glue the bottom and sides. The lid is made in a similar way; to measure its lateral edge, measure the length of the base of the lid.

Candy-shaped box for sweets and other gifts
