To prepare for any celebration you need in advance not only the birthday, but also the guests who will be invited to it for the holiday. It doesn’t matter what kind of event it will be: birthday, anniversary, professional worker’s day, March 8, Defender of the Fatherland Day and others. The important moment is that not only the birthday man, but all the invited guests, is tense in organizing his holiday. As for women's gifts, here is somehow a little easier, especially if it's collective gifts. It can be money, household items, various small household appliances, jewelry, etc. But men are unique people and in essence a little like children. They need to pay special attention so that your gift is special and memorable. Every woman always thinks about what to give her beloved husband a birthday, because the tastes of men are completely different, let's say individual. You can give perfume, a favorite color shirt or tie, or you can give, for example, a gold chain with a cross. Whatever gift you choose, but you need a beautiful and spectacular package for it. But still you decided, for example, to give the chain. So for its design, you can make a small box with your own hands, but you can do it using the technique scrapbooking.
Right now, we’re going straight ahead and we are taking the following for this:
• Box layout;
• Cardboard under the skin of sand color, sheet A4;
• Men's paper for scrapbooking, several shades;
• Printouts in poetic form;
• Paper butterflies of sand color;
• Ribbon in the box black and white;
• Figured hole punch;
• PVA glue;
• Double-sided tape;
• Pencil and ruler;
• Ink pad for toning the edges;
• scissors;
• glue gun;
• Lighter.

This is the layout of the base of the box and lid. When folded, the box looks small 6 * 6 cm, but exactly what you need to pack the chain.

So, according to the scheme, measure out the base and cover of the box.

We make bending lines and fold the blanks. From the remaining sheet we cut strips of 2.5 * 6 cm and make them curly hole punch.

Now we take a man’s scrapbook paper and cut out 5.5 * 5.5 cm squares of only eight pieces.

We cut a 6 * 6 cm square onto the lid. We cut the printed inscriptions out figuratively and stamp each one along the edges with an ink pad. The size of the cover in the finished form is 6.5 * 6.5 cm.

We also cut four small rectangles 1.8 * 6 cm for the lid. We glue them with double-sided tape on the side walls of the lid.

Glue one inscription inside the box, and the second onto the square of the lid. Sew each inscription separately on a typewriter. Glue the square to the base of the lid. We turn the base of the box over and glue the squares with double-sided tape outside and inside the box.
