BEAUTIFUL GIFT WRAPPING

Send

On New Year's Eve everyone gives each other small gifts. But souvenirs are not always sold in packages. Therefore, you yourself can make a beautiful and unusual box by choosing the right size. For crafts, the remains of wallpaper are suitable: such a box will turn out to be very elegant. You will also need scissors, a pencil, glue, thick paper for making a stencil, 1 meter of beautiful braid. First, determine the size of the craft and make a stencil. To do this, take a piece of thick paper and fold it in half along. Draw a horizontal line at the bottom of the sheet half the width of the proposed box (the base of the craft), measure the height of the craft and draw an inclined line from the top point to the mark on the horizontal line.

Draw a wavy line in the form of spruce branches from the outside of the slash from top to bottom (or create your own simple pattern). Pay attention to the lower part of the workpiece: so that the edges of the craft do not wrinkle when assembled, there should be a 45 ° angle between the pattern and the horizontal line.

Cut the stencil and unfold.

Select craft paper. The length and width of the sheet should be greater than the double height of the craft, to which you need to add centimeters equal to the width of the base of the box. For example, if the stencil is 14 cm high and its base is 10 cm, then you need to take a sheet of paper with sides larger than 38 cm (14 + 14 + 10).

Turn the paper over to the wrong side. Put the stencil and circle with a pencil. The less visible the traces of the pencil, the more accurate the work will be.

At the bottom of the circled shape, draw a square with sides equal to its base.

Attach a stencil to the other three sides of the square, and circle it.

Gently cut.

Draw auxiliary lines from the tops of the trees to the corners of the square.

Turn the blank over to the front side and bend the curly edges along the marked lines up.

Turn the workpiece over again and glue the square cut out of cardboard into the center, thereby strengthening the bottom.

Lift all four sides of the craft up, making folds along the edge of the square.

Glue the three sides of the craft, spreading glue on their curly edges to the folds. One side of the craft should remain un glued so that it can serve as a door for the box.

Cut the tape into two parts. Make two small holes at the top of the pyramid, thread the edge of one ribbon and tie it into a knot, leaving a small tail. Glue the second tape to the top of the hinged door and hide its end under a piece of cardboard cut out in the form of a triangle and glued to the tape. Let the glue dry well.
