Packing by own hands

When you receive gifts, it is especially pleasant not the most expensive gift, but the one that was unusually packed. True, it is unlikely to buy an original wrapper now. It is much more interesting to make a packing of paper by yourself.

How to make a package yourself: a round variant

To create an unusual circular packing, prepare:

• dense wrapping paper (or color cardboard);
• scissors;
• glue;
• ruler;
• scissors;
• stationery knife;
• compass;
• clothespins.

So, we make bright packaging:

1. On a sheet of paper, draw a circle with a radius of 6 cm. Then draw a rectangle in a pencil and ruler, the length of which will be 39 cm and the width 11 cm.
2. Then draw a line on one of the long sides of the rectangle 1 cm from the edge, mark the strips on it every 0.5 cm.
3. With a stationery knife, cut the strips up to the line so that the fringe turns out.
4. Bend the "fringe" to the underside of the workpiece with a ruler.
5. On the side of the paper blank, apply glue and fasten them together with clothespins to make a cylinder. Leave the artifact until the glue dries.
6. Then apply glue to the notches of the workpiece and gently place a round bottom on top of them. Turn the hand-made article upside down, insert a round object to fix it and put another load.
7. Now let's cover the future packaging. Again draw a circle on paper with a radius of 6.5 cm. On a sheet of paper of contrasting color, draw a rectangle 40 cm long and 4-5 cm wide. Similarly, make a notch on the rectangle, glue it on the side, creating a cylinder, and then glue the round bottom .

Bright packaging with your own hands is ready!

Packaging yourself: another master class

A sweet gift to a beloved man can be packaged in a very original way, thereby expressing his fervent feelings. Prepare a sheet of plain paper and a sheet of colored cardboard, a ruler, a pencil, scissors and glue.

When everything is ready, we make bright packaging:

1. On a sheet of white paper with a pencil and ruler, draw a shape, as in the photo.
2. Cut it out and transfer the shape of the figure onto the cardboard, barely leading with a pencil. Then carefully cut out.
3. Use the ruler to bend the fold lines.
4. On the edges of the workpiece and the bottom, apply glue and connect the parts, so that you have a box.
5. Put in it the favorite sweets of your second half and fold the edges so that the top on the package formed a heart.

That's all: simple and how effective!

Do not forget about the fact that you need not only to pack a gift skilfully, but also to give it an original gift .
