For packaging you will need:

• beautiful gift paper;
• scissors;
• tape (you can use regular transparent tape, buy a special one with a pattern, or, best of all, take double-sided adhesive tape).

Gift wrapping in paper

The width of the paper must be no less than the length of the box folded to twice its height (a = b+2c, where a is the width of the paper, b is the length of the box, c is the height of the box). The length of the required amount of paper is the sum of the width of all sides of the parallelepiped box. It’s worth paying attention to this, because if you determine the dimensions correctly, it will be easier to pack.

Packing process

How to wrap a gift in paper:

We place a book or box with a gift in wrapping paper, across it. We glue tape to one of the edges of the paper and secure it to the box. It is better to measure in advance the amount of paper required for the wrapper and cut it off the roll, hiding the cut edge inside the package.

Wrap tightly so that the joint of the edges of the paper is on top. We fasten the second edge of the wrapping paper.

Now we wrap the ends. Bend the top part and secure it with tape.

Then there are two options: either we wrap the side parts, or the bottom part. The final result depends on this appearance packaging. If you use double-sided tape, then there is no problem - it will not be visible.

Repeat the same on the other side of the box.

Add decorative bows or tie with ribbon. Beautiful packaging books are ready!

This will be especially appropriate for gift wrapping for a chintz wedding (first anniversary life together) or for a holiday in honor of a newborn. The fabric should be used in the same way as paper; it can be secured with tape or glue.

Gift wrapping for a man

An idea for packing a shirt as a birthday gift for your husband is a homemade bag made of thick paper. A man will appreciate not only the gift itself, but also the effort put into making the bag. You will need:

• wrapping paper;
• scissors;
• glue and tape;
• tape for handles.

Men's gift bag

How to do:

Fold the measured paper in half and secure the long free edges with tape.

Place the junction of the edges not on the fold of the package, but closer to the center. We transform the lower part into the bottom of the package. Make a fold (the distance will be equal to the width of the bottom). Separate the sides of the bag, fold the corners on both sides inward, making triangles. The side fold line on each triangle should coincide with the bottom fold line. Fold the bottom and top edges so that they are in place of the main fold. We fix this connection with tape. This is the most difficult stage of making a bag.

Take a rectangle of thick paper and glue tape-handles to it. Handicraft stores have blanks that you can purchase to significantly reduce the time it takes to make a bag.

We glue the rectangle with handles from the inside on opposite sides of the package. We wait until everything is dry and lay the shirt down.

After analyzing several MK packages, I found an option that suits me quite well for now. This way you can make a box of any size and color for a box, plate, etc. There is nothing new in the box design itself. The main thing that I “invented” for myself was making my own “designer” paper. In a small town to find beautiful paper difficult, and here's what I propose to do.
1. Materials:
- Whatman paper or cardboard,
- napkin or corrugated paper
- sheet of tracing paper
- PVA glue
- scissors
- ruler
- pencil

2. Determine the size of the box so that you can then draw a diagram.
Size of the bottom of the lower part: add 1 cm to the size of the product itself.
The size of the side parts is equal to the height of the product or slightly higher.
The size of the folds for the bottom part: 1 cm less than the size of the side part.
Cover size: 0.5 or 1 cm larger than the bottom.
I make the size of the side parts of the lid 3 cm.
The size of the folds for the lid is 2.5 cm (for a simple box you can do without them)

For example: the size of the box is 5X5X4. Box dimensions: bottom 6x6 cm; sidewalls 5cm; bend 4 cm. Lid 7x7 cm, sides 3 cm, bend 2.5 cm.

Now we determine the dimensions of the square, which will be the basis of our diagram. Fold 4+5+6+5+4=24cm. This is the length of the square, which we will draw on whatman paper.
In fact, making all the calculations is not as difficult as it seems))) If you do it once and understand the principle, you will easily make them in your head without any papers or notes.
3. Draw a square on whatman paper, in our case with long sides = 24 cm. Cut it out.

4. Now we mark the square on each side according to the pattern: 4cm - 5cm - 6cm - 5cm - 4cm. We connect all the points and get the following diagram.


Here are the shaded parts that we then cut off.
5. Now, in fact, let's start making paper. To do this, you can use a regular napkin of a suitable pattern and size. Or corrugated paper, then the box will be plain. The square we cut out of whatman paper. grease with PVA. Here it is important to coat the entire surface well, especially the edges, but there should not be too much glue so that the napkin does not get wet.
While the glue dries slightly, iron the napkin with a hot iron so that there are no wrinkles. Corrugated paper You don't have to iron it. Then we place the napkin on the Whatman paper, cover it with a sheet of tracing paper and carefully iron it with an iron. I didn’t get it right the first time, it requires some skill))) This is what happens.

6. Now we cut off the excess parts of our square. We get such a figure.


7. Make cuts along the red lines.

8. Carefully bend everything using a ruler

9. We wrap the flaps and folds inward and get a nice box. More precisely, its lower part.

10. For the lid of the box, we repeat all the operations, only the dimensions of the square will be different. In our example, 2.5 cm + 3 cm + 7 cm + 3 cm + 2.5 cm = 13 cm
As a result of all the described manipulations, such a box appears


Everything is done quite quickly, in about an hour I did 6 of these things

And this is what the finished product might look like in beautiful packaging.

Agree, the anticipation of a gift is no less pleasure than the gift itself! Ah, these sweet moments when you try to guess what is hidden inside an elegant box, impatiently untie the satin ribbons, tear off the crispy paper covers!

But gifts are pleasant not only to unwrap, but also to pack. Buying nice little things for your colleagues in advance, choosing gifts for your closest ones and whileing away the winter evenings decorating them and signing cards is a sure way to wake them up. Christmas mood, if it is still sleeping!

Masu box

For warm-up, we chose masu bo x - an origami box. You can even roll this up in a taxi on the way to visit: you don’t need any scissors or glue, just a couple of sheets of paper. Moreover, even those whose highest achievement in origami are paper airplanes will master the simple principle of their creation.

Notes and tips:

1. For this box, we chose thick double-sided scrapbooking paper at Leonardo (40 rubles per sheet), but this was a mistake. Firstly, the back of the paper would still end up hidden. Secondly, the paper turned out to be too thick and therefore unsuitable for origami: it did not bend well and cracked at the folds. As a result, we had to roll it from colored paper with a density of 120 g/m2 (10 rubles per A4 sheet), although a thinner one would have worked perfectly.

2. Remember that the base must be smaller than the lid! We decided that if we cut the sheet by three or four millimeters, that would be enough, but in the end, the parts of the box still turned out to be almost the same.

3. You can decorate the box (and at the same time hide extra folds on the lid) using ribbons (a set of five satin ribbons with New Year’s prints cost us about 150 rubles). Tip for perfectionists: to hide the edges, thread them through the slots in the lid (you can easily figure out where to make them) and secure from the inside with a glue stick. Be sure to loosen the tension on the bands a little so that the lid can be bent.

4. For this little experiment, I didn’t want to buy a package of filler for the boxes, so we simply cut the thin craft paper in which the bouquet was once packaged into thin strips. It turned out beautiful and environmentally friendly!

Having warmed up with origami, we decided to make a “pillow box” in which it is very convenient to put candies.

Notes and tips:

1. Before folding the box, crease along the fold lines - push them with a non-writing pen or other thin, but not sharp, object. Without this, it will be almost impossible to bend a sheet of paper along a curve. (In general, we advise you to press through all the places where future folds are made.) And another piece of advice - it’s easier not to print it out, but to draw a diagram of the box yourself. Yes, to draw a line of valves, you will have to use a handy round object, but then it can be used instead of a ruler when creasing, because this cannot be done accurately by hand.

2. The valves on one side can be pierced with a hole punch to insert the ribbon. But we don’t recommend trying to glue them together: it’s almost impossible to press the valves together for the glue to set, and besides, they already stay closed very reliably.

3. For this box we took pastel paper (16 rubles per sheet). The density of 160 g/m2 was perfect for a small box, and the velvety surface recalled the starry sky and inspired decor.

4. To decorate the box the way we did, choose the constellation you like and draw it with a white gel pen (it’s better to do this on an unfolded box). To glue the stars (again favorite “Leonardo”, RUR 72), dip a cone of toothpicks into the glue, make a dot on the paper and attach the star. We used PVA glue, but keep in mind that synthetic materials He doesn't hold it very tightly. Secondary stars can be made from simple small sparkles (they will cost about half as much as curly ones) - also apply glue to the paper and sprinkle some fairy dust on this place.

Envelope

The four-petal envelope is a beautiful, simple package that doesn't even require any glue. It rolls up easily and is great for gift certificates, CDs, pendants and other small items.

Notes and tips:

1. For this packaging we took paper with a density of about 140 g/m2, but we could have chosen thicker paper.

2. Petals can be decorated with sparkles - just drag along the cut cotton swab, soaked in glue, and dip the paper in them.

3. If your gift is not completely flat, then you can make “walls” a few millimeters high on the box (as in the photo above).

Paper pyramids

And finally, our favorite - paper pyramids! They look great and, despite their apparent fragility, are quite strong. The pattern for creating them is perhaps the most complex, but nothing needs to be glued or intricately bent. A chocolate candy will fit perfectly in this box. self made, flash drive, jewelry, Christmas tree toy... Anything!

Notes and tips:

1. For the boxes - yay! – the double-sided paper that was purchased for origami was ideal. Pastel also behaved wonderfully.

2. We cut out a snowflake on the red box with a model knife, and so that it would not be visible through it what was hidden inside, we used tracing paper - we cut out a four-pointed star from it according to the size of the box and secured it with a glue stick.

3. It is convenient to make holes for the ribbon tie with a hole punch, but in the absence of one, you can cut it with a paper knife or pierce it with a needle.

P.S.

In the 21st century, it is impossible not to think about saving resources and ethical treatment of nature. If your inner ecologist protests against packaging as a harmful excess, but you still want to please the recipient with a beautiful box or securely wrap a fragile gift, then you can always find a compromise solution. We have already written above that the filler for boxes can be made from old parchment. Think, maybe instead of origami paper you can take a beautiful magazine sheet, instead of synthetic glitter, decorate the boxes with your own designs, and satin ribbons replace with twine or cotton lace.

There are a lot of gift design options, it all depends on your imagination and, believe me, even if it seems to you that you don’t have a single worthwhile idea, they will appear as soon as you pick up paper and scissors and start creating your first homemade box!

An invitation to any holiday raises a completely logical question among the invited guests: “What kind of gift should I buy and how to wrap the gift in an original way with my own hands?”

After all, it is not enough to choose a worthy gift; its packaging is also of no small importance.

It is the beautiful ribbons, bows and the original design of the wrapping paper that are the first to catch your eye.

It all depends only on your imagination.

You can learn a few basic techniques for creating gift wraps, and then add some decorative elements to them, such as twine, ribbons, bows, store-bought or homemade, glitter and much more.

DIY paper from egg trays

Or you can learn how to make paper for - it will become very in an original way decorate your present.

The pieces that turned out to be quite large can be crushed using a blender. The paper must first swell well. As a result, you should end up with a thin, porridge-like mass, which should be divided equally.

• one contains food colorings,
• in the other - glitter,
• in the third - flower petals, etc. according to your taste.

Then the mass is poured onto a flat surface; the best option would be a tray with high sides, which is covered with cling film.

Spread the prepared mass on it in a thin layer, thoroughly leveling it. The thicker your layer, the less elastic the paper will be. After all the above procedures, the mass should dry. Then it is cut to your liking and used for gift wrapping. Thicker paper can be used to make beautiful gift boxes.

Marbling

How else can you wrap a gift with your own hands? You can also decorate a gift using a technique called “marbling”.

For this you will need any paper and special paints.

First of all, the gift is placed in a box, otherwise you will not be able to pack it beautifully. Next, a large piece of prepared paper is cut and wrapped around the box. The cuts should be located at the bottom.

Then we bend the sides and fold the corners. As a result, you should get a package that looks like a standard store-bought one.

The next step is to cut a long piece of rope. You need to wrap it around your gift box - vertically and then horizontally. The string should fit tightly enough to the package.

The last step will be decorating the gift. If it’s New Year’s, then you can put a small spruce branch under the rope.

Additionally, it is decorated with sparkles or artificial snow. You can also add a picture in a minimalist style to the twine. Adding a wax stamp on top is also a good option. Today's stores offer special candles and prints for these purposes.

Decoration packaging

A variety of applications also serve beautiful elements for decoration, for example, you can attach small snowflakes or hearts to the packaging. Another one great idea- decoration with drawings and stamps.

Making boxes with your own hands

You have got small stripes with cuts. We bend them inside our box, after which we overlap them in a circle. Decorate the resulting package with a beautiful bow or ribbons. The sides can be decorated with sparkles or appliqués.

“Petals” can be designed in another way. To do this, punch each of them with a hole punch or insert eyelets using a special machine. Next, the strips are folded, and a beautiful rope is inserted into the holes and slightly tightened, after which a bow is tied.

How to simply and easily wrap a gift with your own hands

And don’t forget that there must be a small hole in the top.

To do this you will need:

• Scissors;
• Wrapping paper in beautiful colors;
• Scotch tape (either regular or with pictures will do, but it’s better to use double-sided tape).
