gift wrap


On New Year 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 the wallpaper will work: 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.

slash


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.

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).

Glue the second braid 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 braid. Let the glue dry well.
