Holiday Edition : DIY gift box

by - December 11, 2016




Everything pretty comes in a box. But, what if you want to gift something personalised and don’t find a box just right for it? MAKE ONE!

Here is a super easy way to make an origami box. It just requires a little folding and resizing and you are done. Let’s get into the procedure

You will need:

·        Craft paper (thicker than writing paper so that the box is rigid enough to hold the present).
·        Scissors.
·        Ruler.
·        Pen/Pencil (for marking purposes).
·        Tape/glue.

How to :

·        You will need a square sheet. If you have a rectangular sheet fold it from the top right corner like shown and cut along the edge to make a square.



·        Fold the opposite corners together to look like this.



·        Fold any one corner towards the centre. Do the same for all four corners.

                                     









·        Open up the paper and fold any corner like shown. Do this to all four corners.


·        Open up the paper and you should have a square in the centre. Now cut along the marked lines.            


           


·        Your paper should be looking like this by now. Fold any corner a little like shown. Do this for both the uncut corners. Fold a longer section to the same corners like so.



·        You will have flaps to the right and left of both folds. Overlap them as shown. Push them up to make a box like structure.


·        Now take the longer flap and fold it over the structure created .Tape/glue it down to secure it from moving.



·        Make two boxes for one to act as the bottom and the other as the lid.



·        Personalise to your choice and VOILA ! you have a beautiful gift box
