Progress:

1. Lubricate the squares of drawing paper with PVA glue. Glue 12*12cm by 15*15cm, retreating 1cm from the edges

2. Cut the corners at an angle of 45 degrees, departing 2 mm from the corners of the smaller squares

3. Lubricate with glue and bend the edges. Place the resulting blanks - the lids of the boxes - under the press.

4. On a workpiece 11.2 cm * 28.5 cm, on the side 28.5 cm we apply a marking of 2.1 cm; 11.1cm; 2.1cm; 11.1cm; 2.1cm. Using these marks, we make creasing grooves (for convenience and neatness of the folds, we use a creasing tool or a covered ballpoint pen). We bend along the lines.

2,1 11,1 2,1 11,1 2,1

5. Apply glue to a small rectangle 11.2 cm * 2 cm and glue it into the indicated sector to give strength to the side wall of the box.

6. Glue the edges of the workpiece together.

7. Glue the lid blanks onto the resulting part of the box.

7. On each side of the workpiece 19*19cm we apply markings - 2cm; 2cm; 11cm; 2cm; 2cm

8. Making creasing grooves. We cut along the markings and cut off the excess.

9. Along the marked lines, bend and glue the box.

10. Using curly scissors or a hole punch from designer or other paper, cut out 2 squares of 11.5 cm * 11.5 cm. Glue with double-sided tape to the top and bottom lids of the box.

11. Cut out the base for the postcard 10cm * 20cm. We mark the middle with a crease and bend it.

10cm

12. Measure out a ribbon of about 18 cm - 2 pieces. We process the edges over the flame. Using double-sided tape, attach the ribbon to the front of the card and to the back, then attach the card to the box.

13. Cut out a square from majestic cardboard with an embossed square, 0.3 cm smaller than the size of the postcard. Glue it to the postcard using double-sided foam tape.

14. Decorate with paper flowers, braid, semi-pearls, etc. We decorate the side walls and the inside of the box.

The text of the invitation can be written on a postcard, or you can print it out on office paper, carefully cut it out with curly scissors, and glue it to the base of the card.

You can make the inscription “Happy Wedding Day” on the box with a gold-colored gel pen or buy contour stickers with a ready-made inscription at a craft store.

To make leaves or twigs shine, you can cover them with acrylic varnish.

A baby's first birthday is a very important event not only for his parents, but also for his godparents. On this day they try to surround him with care, affection and a bunch of gifts. Since no one knows what is best for his child, except for mom and dad, then basically everyone tries to give money, and the parents already know better what to spend on and what to buy for their baby. So, so that the memory still remains of the gift, you can make a beautiful gift box with your own hands with different pictures and wishes and invest money in it, and let’s say it and sign it “To my beloved godson.” So here’s a master class on how to make such a box and let’s look at it.
To make a box you need to take:
Mint cardboard size 25*25 cm;
Watercolor paper, sheet no larger than A4 format;
Mint color scrapbooking paper in two designs;
Sheet with ready-made pictures;
Pictures with a bunny, printed in color;
The circles are blue and mint with lacy edges;
Printed inscription “To my beloved godson”, as well as stamped inscriptions “Happy Birthday”;
Lace border hole punch;
Colored children's pictures for a boy with images of toys and various children's inscriptions;
Flowers fabric tiffany colors;
Cut out turquoise leaves from cardboard;
Hole puncher 3D butterfly;
Narrow mint-colored satin ribbon;
Cutting blue flags;
Green ink pad;
Blue semi-pearls with a diameter of 4 mm;
Double-sided tape;
Glue stick;
Thermal gun;
Ruler, pencil, scissors.

The main part of the box will be made of mint cardboard, and the lid will be made of watercolor paper. So, first we put a sheet of mint cardboard and divide it on all sides into such parts of 8 * 9 * 8 cm, on all four sides. There is an extra strip left, we simply cut it off.

Now we draw bend lines from top to bottom under the ruler, also on all sides. Now we need to cut the corners, to do this we connect them on all four sides like in the diagram.

We cut off the corners and the edges of the entire base are thoroughly tinted using an ink pad. Now we divide each corner in half, it turns out 5.7 * 5.7 cm and we also draw bend lines to the center.

Fold the base of the box like this. Now we need to cut out the base of the lid from the watercolor.

Divide into three parts 3*9.3*3 cm on all sides. We also draw bend lines.

We fold the workpiece and make four cuts in order to glue the lid. Cut a 4*9 cm rectangle from the watercolor and punch holes on both sides.

This is us making a money loop. All the basics are ready, now we will draw them up.

We cut out five blanks of this size for the interior decoration of the box.

Four small ones and one large one for a lid of this size. And also four identical ones for external design.

Now we cut out cards, pictures and inscriptions and try to tint everything around the edges with an ink pad. Now we glue all these elements onto the scrap parts with double-sided tape, and then sew them on with a machine.

We glue the outer part of the lid and the main box with the appropriate blanks. Then we glue in the inner parts and sew each edge of the box separately from the inside.

We also glue a large blank onto the lid and stitch it too. Now we glue a loop for money inside. We glue the lid along the tails.

Nowadays, money is one of the most common gifts and, it would seem, there is nothing simpler than. But sometimes you really want to add something unusual to such an ordinary gift. And this is not at all difficult to do; all you need is the desire and the simplest materials. So, we suggest you make a money box with your own hands, following our master class.

Money box scrapbooking – master class

Required tools and materials:

2 types of scrap paper (backgrounds for it can be found on the Internet and printed or bought ready-made);
white and colored cardboard;
watercolor paper;
pencils and watercolors;
brush, pencil, stationery knife, metal ruler, scissors;
an inscription or picture (you can also print them yourself);
glue (preferably “moment-crystal”);
double-sided tape (you can limit yourself to glue);
decorations (beads, half-beads, buttons, pendants - whatever you see fit);
ribbon.

Performance:

First, using a ruler and a stationery knife, you need to cut cardboard and paper. The dimensions of paper and cardboard, as well as the principle of distribution of colored and white cardboard, are shown in detail in the photo.

Next, we take the largest square (18x18 cm) and line it. The next step is to do the creasing (mark the places of the folds) - in addition to a special stick, many objects are suitable for this (a non-writing pen, a plastic card, and even the handle of a simple teaspoon). I used an ice cream stick. The principle of ruling and scoring is shown in the photo.

The next step is to make cuts and trim off the excess.

And finally, we coat the necessary parts with glue and fold our main box.

So, all the most difficult things are left behind, but it’s too early to stop, because only half the way has been completed.

It's time to make the second part of our box, and for this we will line and crease the largest rectangle of cardboard. This must be done as shown in the photo.

This is the kind of box we should get. Now it's time to start decorating.

We glue narrow strips of paper (1x9 cm) onto strips of cardboard (1.5x9.5). The next step is to glue these double borders onto the box (2 each for the inside and outside), and also sew on a bead that will serve as a handle.

Now take 2 11x11 cardboard squares and two 13x13 paper squares.

We coat the cardboard square with glue, glue it to the wrong side of the paper and cut off the corners.

We fold the excess paper and glue it to the cardboard. We do the same with the second pair and get two neat squares.

We glue our dense squares to the outside of the box so that an equal amount of cardboard protrudes along the edges.

It's time to decorate our creation:

We crease a 10x20 cm cardboard rectangle and fold it in half - this will be a card for wishes.

Now you need to glue the ribbon and the top layer of paper - a 9x9 square.

We paint the inscription with a thin layer of watercolor paint, outline it along the edge with a pencil and glue it to a cardboard rectangle 0.5 cm larger than the inscription itself.

Flowers are great for decoration and you don’t have to buy them - you can make them yourself. Let's draw a few large flowers and a few smaller flowers on the wrong side of the watercolor paper, and then cut them out.

We wet our flowers with a damp brush. Immediately after this, add color to taste (saturation depends on your desire), and then we give shape to the petals - twist them around a pencil or (as in my case) the shaft of a brush.

Let's add clarity and volume to our flowers - lightly outline the petals and draw veins, and then glue them in pairs and stick a rhinestone or half-bead in the middle.

And here’s the finale: we attach all the decorative elements to the postcard, and glue the postcard itself to the box.

Our box may well become a package not only for money, but also for other small gifts, and later it will not get lost, becoming a place to store useful and pleasant little things.

It is best to give money for a wedding - a long-known fact. Gone are the days when newlyweds were given sets and crystal - now the spouses themselves decide what they need most. Some are planning a honeymoon, while others are planning to buy a car or apartment. And it’s easier for guests - they don’t need to run around the shops looking for the best gift. I put the money in the envelope, and that’s it, the problem is solved.

But recently there has been a fashion for handmade items. And this passion also extended to gift wrapping. They create boxes in the shape of a chest, cake, car, house, etc. Subsequently, you can store your family budget or documents in them. And creating a beautiful box with your own hands is not so difficult.

Magic Box

To create it you will need:

thick paper - cardboard, Whatman paper, photographic paper;
glue;
scissors;
ruler;
pencil;
scrap paper;
a tool for creasing (creating lines for folding) - a non-writing pen, a crochet hook, a plastic card, the handle of a teaspoon are suitable for this purpose;
decorative elements - lace, beads, beads, ribbons, artificial flowers, etc.

Step-by-step action plan:

Money box

You can make another version of the box. For it you will need:

thick paper - cardboard, Whatman paper,
glue,
scissors,
ruler, it can also serve as a scoring tool,
narrow satin ribbon 30 cm long,
openwork paper napkin,
scrap paper (instead you can use any colored paper and even thin wallpaper),
decorative elements - lace, string of pearls, small buds of artificial flowers.

Having prepared everything you need, let's get to work:

Money chest

If you have the desire and time, you can create a wonderful wedding chest. For this you will need:

cardboard box,
glue,
scissors,
paper knife,
scotch,
creasing tool - it can be scissor rings, an ice cream stick, a plastic card, etc.
paper or beautiful material for decoration (you can take beautiful wallpaper),
decoration elements - lace, beads, etc.

An outline is drawn on the sides of the empty box, outlining the lid of the chest.
Two lines are drawn on the front side of the box: one connects the lower points of the arcs on the sides, the second indicates the height of the lid of the product.
By cutting off unnecessary elements, a lid format is created.
There are strips running along the inside of the lid at a distance of approximately 1.5 cm from each other. This is necessary to create a beautiful bend.
Using a sharp knife, cut off part of the box along the bottom drawn line on three sides - the back side remains intact.
The lid can be trimmed a little - there should be a 2-3 mm gap between it and the bottom of the chest.
The lid parts are secured together with tape. A stapler can be used for this purpose.
The excess part of the lid is removed with scissors or a sharp knife.
On the inside of the upper part, draw the outline of a slot for envelopes with money, which is then carefully cut out with a knife or scissors. To make sure the gift gets into the storage, you should purchase a standard envelope and try to see if it will fit into the slot.
Now you can start covering the chest. First, you need to cut out one large piece that will cover the front wall and two sidewalls. Don't forget to add allowances - about 5 cm on each side. The height will be equal to the height of the wall plus the same 5-6 cm for the gates.
After applying glue to the cut out rectangle, paste over the front part and two side parts, after which the remainder is folded onto the back.
Cut the corners, tuck and smooth to remove air bubbles.
Cut out special blanks for the sides of the lid and glue them.
Having taken measurements of the bottom, lid and back wall, cut out parts of the appropriate sizes and then glue them on.
A slot is made in the pasted lid by bending the ends of the paper into the prepared slot for money.
If the lid of the box turns out to be too heavy and constantly tries to lean back when opening, then you can glue a piece of tape from the inside to one of the sides. You need to measure it in such a way that it prevents the lid from falling.
The next step is to glue the inside of the chest. This can be done either with the same decorative paper or with beautiful material. True, the last option will have to spend a fair amount of time.
Take a strip of corrugated cardboard with the following dimensions: its width is 5 cm, and the length is the length of the front wall plus 2 times 2/3 of the length of the sidewall. This element is covered with the same paper as the entire craft.
Having coated it with glue to the middle, glue the strip inside the chest.
Use small scissors to carefully cut a hole for the envelopes.
And now you can give room to your imagination - anyone can decorate the chest with whatever they can and want.
