Before the festive event, we think about the gift that we will give. Every little thing matters here. Of course, you can give a gift in a package, but still it looks much better decorated with original gift paper. If you have a need to make a paper box, then this is not at all difficult. Our detailed master class will tell you how to properly pack a box in gift paper.
Our task is to pack a gift box in paper, regardless of whether the box is square, rectangular, large or small. The box must be closed with a lid. We pack ourselves, choose any paper. The main thing is to understand how to do it easier and more accurately. Paper we take colored or plain crepe paper. Recently, crepe paper has become very popular in decor. After all, as you know, minimalism, simplicity and naturalness are in trend now.
For work you will need:
- Wrapping paper.
- Double-sided tape or PVA glue.
- Scissors.
- The tape is decorative.
In order for the packaging to come out beautiful and neat, it is necessary to place the box on paper at the optimal point. To do this, one side of the box must be closed by ⅔, and the other side must be completely closed. Approximately as in the photo, we cut off the excess paper - this is what is left:
In order to properly pack the box in gift paper, it is necessary to wrap the paper completely around the box. The stock of paper in this case should be 4-5 cm. The longitudinal section of the paper is located on the side, 4-5 cm from the edge of the box. Subsequently, this will be the bottom of our package.
Secure the paper with tape or glue. A strip of tape on the edge and then the sheet on itself. We press firmly, as tightly as possible.
Fold the paper towards the center to form an envelope. To pack the box correctly, take a small piece of tape or glue and stick the resulting valve to the wrapping paper.
Bend the sides to the center and, slightly bending the edge of the "envelope", fix it with adhesive tape or glue.
To beautifully pack the box, turn it over and do the same on the opposite end of the box.
It remains to wrap the package with ribbon, you can decorate it more. Decorations are listed below.
Types of gift decor
We learned how to quickly wrap a box with gift paper. If there is no colored paper at hand, plain crepe paper, or plain offset paper, is suitable for these purposes. Plain paper can always be decorated with a homemade print.
Homemade printing for decorating wrapping paper can be made from potatoes with your own hands. To do this, select a medium potato, and draw on it with a pencil the figure that we will cut out. We will have an asterisk. You can make a smaller star out of the second half of the potato.
Cut out the shape with a knife.
We take an ordinary sponge for washing dishes and smear with paint. It is better to use acrylic paint, but in the absence of any other will do. The most important thing is not to smudge it and let it dry properly.
You can decorate paper with natural decor: twigs, leaves, flowers, textiles. If you add more ribbon, twine, bow - you get an ideal and unique package. You can also use lace, especially knitted with your own hands, yarn for knitting, braid. Crepe paper is an inexpensive paper, it is usually used by the post office, in large hardware and furniture stores it is free, usually at the exit of the store. Beautiful packaging is obtained from corrugated paper. We hope you find the right packaging decor for you.
