Chocolate girl packaging for scrapbooking gifts. Master class on making a chocolate bowl with your own hands using scrapbooking technique. How to make a chocolate bowl with your own hands: interior decoration
A chocolate box is a box for chocolate that can be decorated for any occasion. The chocolate turns into a real gift, and on the inside of the box you can make a paper loop-holder for money, then the chocolate box replaces the postcard with an envelope.
We will need:
- chocolate;
- bright A4 cardboard;
- a piece of beautiful paper;
- ribbon;
- double sided tape;
- beads, flowers, any other decor;
- ruler, scissors.
Step 1.
We cut out the cardboard according to the diagram, taking into account the size of the chocolate bar in length and width. The figure shows the fold lines. In this case, the dimensions of the chocolate bar are 17x8 cm and height 1.5 cm.
Step 2.
Bend the cardboard along all the drawn lines. We glue double-sided tape to the edge of the “wings”.
Step 3.
Glue the wings to the back wall of the chocolate bowl, thus creating a pocket for the chocolate.
Step 4.
Close the box and tape it around the middle with double-sided tape. Glue the ribbon onto the tape.
Step 5.
Cut out a rectangle from the prepared beautiful paper, slightly smaller than the chocolate bowl. Indentation 0.5-1 cm on each side. Glue the paper in the center of the box.
Step 6.
The inside of the cardboard can be decorated with something flat - flowers, flat beads, ribbons, pictures. If necessary, you can glue a money holder loop to the inside of the “door”. Place a chocolate bar and tie a bow. On the outside you can glue beads, flowers, pictures depending on the occasion, you can also write a beautiful wish.

Hello, dear readers of the Domovenok-Art blog! I am very glad to meet you! Today I’m treating everyone to virtual chocolate🍫, and at the same time sharing my experience. That's right, today there will be a master class from which you will learn how to make such a cute and very comfortable chocolate maker postcard with your own hands.
These cards can rightfully be considered a lifesaver for all occasions, or rather holidays, and to be even more precise, not for all, but for many. And fortunately for needlewomen, people who are not indifferent to handmade, a lot, so when going to a holiday and taking such a chocolate card with you, there is a high chance of making a pleasant impression on the recipient of the gift and leaving a piece of your love in your heart 💓.
The peculiarity of today's chocolate maker is that
Tile pocket
Made along the entire length of the postcard.
And the tiles are closed at the top and bottom,
Therefore, the chocolate does not fall out.
Spontaneous poetic pause))) Yes, the pocket is equipped with a small window.
Well, in general, it’s quite convenient and functional. Let's begin!
First of all, we collect materials:
- cardstock (or thick pastel paper) A4 size;
- scrap paper 2-3 matching prints;
- chocolate bar;
- satin ribbon 7 mm wide;
- decorative elements - half beads, flowers, lace paper napkins, cutting out twigs, paper rope;
- stamping ink;
- silicone stamp;
- gel pen;
- curly scissors (optional);
- glue gun or Moment Crystal (Titanium, Dragon);
- glue stick;
- bulky double-sided tape;
- ruler;
- scissors;
- stationery knife.
How to make a chocolate maker postcard. Master Class
Quite tasty colors were chosen for this chocolate maker - pale purple with a grunge touch of antiquity and glamorous lace, as well as a more neutral color of space cream with notes.
Preparing the base for a chocolate card
To create the base for the chocolate box postcard, we will use A4 cardstock. For standard 100g. tiles you can use this one sample(to enlarge, click on the picture, and then to return to viewing the master class - Esc):
Cut along solid lines. Using a stationery knife, carefully break through the window. And we go along the dotted lines with a scoring tool, which can be any blunt and thin object (a non-writing pen with a thick rod, a knitting needle, etc.).
We bend our base along these lines and leave it alone for now.
Lettering for a chocolate card
Cut out three rectangular pieces from cardboard for a congratulatory inscription on a chocolate card. One - made of light cardboard, size 4.5x2.5 cm, the second - from scrap paper of a darker shade (the same size), and the third - 4x2 cm made from light-colored scrap paper. We round the corners of the first and third parts.
Using dark ink we tint the edges of the small part.
We apply a congratulatory inscription using a gel pen or any other method. If your handwriting resembles more hieroglyphs 🙈, you can print the text on this sheet of scrap paper in advance. In order to give the letters volume, you can apply glue with glitter (glitter) over the inscription or use embossing powder (if you have it, of course :)
After drying, glue this part with a dark (purple) rectangle.
We cut out another rectangle measuring approximately 4.5x3 cm from scrap paper of a lighter shade (you can search among the scraps). We mark an arc on it and use curly scissors to cut out the edge. You can completely do without them, as in my own master class, published on the Domovenok-Art blog. So, this part also needs to be tinted around the edges. I did this with two colors of ink: brown and dark purple. The result is a color scorched by time, which will be visible in the following photos.
Using a silicone stamp and ink, we make an impression. I chose a stamp in the theme of a music print (that’s why, to create this element, I recommend choosing something from the scraps, similar in color, but with a different pattern).
And here is, in fact, that same color:
We will also need two inscriptions to emphasize the individuality of the gift. To do this, cut out two substrates about a centimeter wide from white cardboard; the length will depend on the length of your inscription. This master class presents the “Beloved Grandmother” option, so you need 2 backgrounds, one per word.
We also cut out two more parts from music paper. They should be 3-4 mm smaller in size than the substrates just cut out.
We tint the edges of these four parts for the inscriptions on the chocolate card.
We connect them together with pencil glue. Next we make the necessary inscriptions.
Background for a chocolate card
Let's go back to our basics. For now it’s just white, inconspicuous and not very festive. It's time to get busy background for a chocolate card. As the main one we will have the pale purple print that I wrote about above.
We cut out 2 rectangles measuring 16x7 cm, as well as two strips 0.8x16 cm and one 1x16 cm.
From the same paper we cut out 2 strips of 0.8x7 cm.
In addition, to decorate the inside we will need a rectangle of music scrap paper measuring 16x6.8 cm, as well as a strip measuring 0.9x16 cm.
We glue the purple stripes to the outside of our future chocolate card. The one that is wider is glued on the side where there is no window.
By the way, about the window. We place one of our purple blanks on this part from the outside, through little window draw a hole with a pencil. Then we put the base aside, and on scrap paper we step back 3 mm from the outline and draw another one. We cut out a new window along it with a stationery knife.
Now we glue this part on the outside. And a small touch - cut out a piece with a rectangular corner from a round lace paper napkin and glue it, as shown in the photo:
Glue the second purple rectangle on the opposite side (also on the outside!)
Assembling a postcard - a chocolate bowl
On the front side (which is without a window) in the upper third we glue a part with an imprint with a slight shift to the right. A little lower and to the left along the edge we glue the second part of the lace napkin. In addition, we glue a ribbon - a tie - to the Crystal Moment, leaving enough length to make a bow.
Now let's paste it over inner part chocolate maker cards. To do this, first prepare a part with notes. Approximately at a height of ¼ from the top, glue the ribbon using instant glue. We bend the ends to the wrong side.
The next step is to glue this part inside the chocolate bowl on the left side. And don’t forget to attach another strip to the inner fold (I hope you haven’t lost it yet?)))). You can see where to glue it in the bottom photo.
And now let's go back to front side chocolate cards. Directly above the ribbon we glue a white backing under the congratulatory inscription (we cut it out a little earlier). And on double-sided voluminous tape - the very inscription “Happy Birthday” can be slightly offset. And below are two more inscriptions (in this master class they are “beloved” and “grandmother”).
Glue three branches with leaves to the napkin👆. They can be carefully cut from scrap paper using small scissors or a breadboard knife. And on top of the branches there is a bow made of paper rope. I also glued another small piece of rope (not shown in the photo above).
Using hot glue, we attach the flower 🌺 and half beads to the front side of the chocolate card.
Now you can finish assembling our chocolate bowl: to do this, glue the specially left tail to the base. The result is a box for sweets.
For contrast, you can stick another small rectangle on the left musical side below. And if desired, it can also be used as a pocket for a monetary gift or for inserting cards with congratulations.
And now the most crucial moment: we put a chocolate bar into our card. Close the box on both sides. Voila!
Our chocolate card is ready! Comfortable, functional, versatile. I hope you enjoyed the master class and found it interesting and understandable. But if anything, you can always ask a question in the comments below. Although on the other hand ignorance is a great way to gain your own, most valuable experience and, of course, create a unique product!
A handmade chocolate maker will certainly please the person for whom it is intended. To make it you will need the following tools and materials:
1. As a base: thick cardboard, cardstock or red designer paper.
2. A set of Devoted double-sided paper 15 x 15 cm. However, only a couple of leaves will be enough to work on the chocolate bowl.
3. Wooden decorative element - red heart.
4. White ribbon.
5. Additionally, you can use a figured hole punch in the form of hearts, rhinestones, half beads, etc.
6. Cutter, breadboard knife or scissors.
7. Double-sided tape on foam.
9. Ruler.
10. Layout mat.
11. Regular pencil.
12. Chocolate.
Manufacturing stages:
1. The first step is to measure the chocolate bar, since each manufacturer has different sizes of bars. Write them down on a draft.
2. Measure these dimensions on cardstock or other similar material that was chosen as the basis for the chocolate bowl.
3. Cut and make the workpiece using a cutter or breadboard knife. The result will be the same as in photo No. 3.
4. Now let's start making a pocket for the chocolate bar. To do this, you need to mark the dimensions of the chocolate on the base paper. Cut out. Glue as shown in photo No. 5. Check whether the sweetness fits there or not.
5. Attach a ribbon to the outside of the chocolate bowl. Then we glue the decorative paper in the shape of hearts, cut out in advance, with double-sided tape.
6. Cut out the decorative paper that remains after decorating the front side of the chocolate bowl. Glue it to the pocket.
7. Decorate! We take a new sheet of paper, where the word Love is written many times in a continuous sheet. Cut out a small square.
8. Print out the phrase on a sheet of paper. For example, as in the photo: “I love you.” It should be slightly smaller in size than the decorative paper cut out a little earlier.
9. Glue them on top of each other, and then to the chocolate bowl with double-sided bulk tape. We attach a heart to them.
10. Insert the chocolate bar. We tie a ribbon.
The final look of the craft.
A chocolate bowl for a loved one is ready for gifting!
A small sign of attention can sometimes lift your mood for a long time and make a person smile. And if you attach a sweet gift to this sign of attention, then a positive charge of long-lasting action is simply guaranteed!
For those who have a sweet tooth, I suggest making a cute chocolate bowl with pockets for tea or coffee. Such a gift can be given to work colleagues, educators or teachers, or a loved one with the words: “This is a small gift for a short break” or “Just for tea.” In any case, the person will be pleased.
To make such a chocolate box you will need: cardboard (can be colored or any decorative one), decorative paper for scrapbooking (you can use regular office paper and print various patterns on it on a color printer), glue stick, ruler, scissors, various materials for decoration (rhinestones) , beads, feathers, artificial/paper flowers, lace, etc.), a chocolate bar and three individually wrapped tea bags. By the way, if you don’t have sheets of cardboard at hand, an office binder is perfect.
The base of the chocolate maker is a cardboard rectangle 22 cm wide and 17-18 cm high. In the middle of the rectangle, draw vertical lines with a pencil at a distance of 2 cm and bend the rectangle inward along them. You should end up with something like a cover. Then we start making pockets for chocolate and tea.
For a chocolate pocket, cut out a rectangle measuring 10*12 cm from cardboard, make two folds 1 cm wide on three sides (sides and bottom). Make cuts on the folds (see picture) and glue the side folds to the bottom ones.
For tea pockets, cut three rectangles, each 14 cm high and 9 cm wide. We bend the edges, retreating 1 cm. Then we divide the rectangle into 2 parts (6 and 8 cm each) and fold it. We round off the upper edges for the most part, and cut off centimeter folds from the lower (smaller) part. Glue the bottom part to the folds from the top part - the pocket is ready.
We decorate our pockets and the base of the chocolate box with decorative paper (lace, cut-outs, drawings) as your imagination dictates (or the photo below). Then we glue our pockets to the base: on one side we glue a pocket for chocolate from the bottom, on the other - three pockets for tea (they need to be glued one on top of the other, starting from the top).
We finally decorate the chocolate bowl both inside and outside, if desired, glue ribbon ties (they stick well with double-sided tape).

Such a chocolate maker can not only be a pleasant little gift, but can also easily replace a money envelope for a celebration if you put not tea in your tea pockets, but a rolled up bill.
Dare, create - do something nice for yourself and those around you!
When you are afraid of making a mistake with a gift, you can always replace it with a banknote. What if you add a chocolate bar to it? The result will be a wonderful gift that will be received with gratitude and surprise, no matter who it is intended for: a child, a colleague or a school teacher. Among needlewomen, the so-called chocolate boxes (i.e., envelopes for chocolate and, perhaps, a pocket for a bill) are becoming popular, which, of course, can be made with your own hands and decorated to your liking. Our master class contains detailed instructions for beginners, which will allow you to master the basics of creating a chocolate bowl decorated with corrugated paper flowers tied with ribbons.
To make a chocolate maker with your own hands, you needed:
pearl-colored designer cardboard;
regular cardboard of golden color;
unbleached or pearl-colored corrugated paper;
mother-of-pearl white or yellowish buttons;
white or pearl-colored satin ribbons - 0.5 and 1 cm wide;
sewing needle;
sewing thread of unbleached color;
PVA glue;
hot silicone glue in a gun;
double-sided bulk and non-bulk tape;
a simple pencil;
stationery knife;
breadboard knife;
figured hole punch (in our case, with a heart);
a knitting needle or toothpick for making folds;
self-healing cutting mat.
How to make a template for a chocolate bowl with your own hands
The dimensions of the chocolate bowl will differ in each case. If you plan to give a banknote and a chocolate bar, the size of the finished chocolate box according to our master class will determine the larger item. This is a chocolate bar.
I have designer cardboard already folded to fit postcards, but I advise you to take an A4 sheet (as a rule, the chocolate bar easily fits with the long part of the wrapper to the narrow part of the sheet, and the width of the chocolate bar is laid out three times along the long part of the sheet).
Look at the template shown in the photo.
Let's look at the template. We look at the rectangle “pocket fabric for chocolate”. This is our size of the chocolate bar plus 0.5-1 cm in width and height so that the chocolate bar fits freely into the chocolate bowl. Please note: the parts per volume are exactly equal to the thickness of the chocolate bar. It shouldn't be loose.
The pocket fabric for bills and chocolates are the same. But the width of the body of each pocket may differ: I made a deeper pocket for the chocolate bar. However, other than the visual effect, it doesn't really matter. Because our handmade chocolate bowl will be tied with ribbons, and the cutouts of the pockets will face the center, and both the money and the tied chocolate will have no chance of falling out of the chocolate bowl.
In addition to the large rectangle from a sheet of designer cardboard, we also cut out two ends of the pocket for the chocolate bar. The shaded parts are places for gluing; they can be of any width. Attention - to the rectangle inside the end. Its narrow part is equal to the thickness of the chocolate bar, and its long part is equal to the body of the chocolate pocket (the narrow part of the rectangle on the right).
If your sheet of designer cardboard does not fit the described template, we make a chocolate bowl from two sheets; We simply cut the template along any of the folds and add the missing fragment from the second sheet, while adding a 0.5-1 cm strip for gluing for applying glue.
DIY chocolate card: making the base
We cut out a rectangle of the required size (see the chocolate bowl template above) and mark the fold lines with a pencil. We press the folds under the ruler from the wrong side of the designer cardboard using a skewer, toothpick or a not very sharp knitting needle. The main thing is not to break the cardboard!
Don't forget to wipe the pencil lines with an eraser.
We don’t remove the ruler—we use it to bend our cardboard. This measure will allow you to avoid creases, the folds will turn out beautiful and neat on both sides.
How to make a chocolate bowl with your own hands: interior decoration
Along the slices of the rectangle, i.e. along the body of two pockets, we go through a figured hole punch. You can use curly scissors or cover the cut with paper decorative tape. At first I made the hearts at a considerable distance from each other, but then I added more holes.
We cut out two rectangles from golden cardboard, each side of which is 1 cm smaller than the dimensions of the fabric of each pocket. For example, the pocket fabric for a chocolate bar or a banknote is 10x20 cm. Then the golden rectangles will have dimensions of 9x19 cm (i.e. 10-1=9 and 20-1=19 cm).
Rectangles along the wrong side can be marked with a pencil, but it is better to cut them out using a stationery knife under a ruler: then the cuts will be clearer, and along the edge of the rectangle we will avoid the annoying formation of small creases that can appear when cutting with scissors.
One of the rectangles will be used to decorate the front side, and we will need the second to decorate the backing for the bill. Moreover, I have a place where parts of designer cardboard are glued together, which I really wanted to disguise.
In two corners of one golden rectangle I made two holes with a heart hole punch.
We glue it with hearts to the center of the chocolate bowl on the canvas of the money pocket so that on each side around the golden rectangle there is a white border 0.5 cm wide. For gluing, I recommend PVA glue, after which the workpiece is placed under a press for 10 minutes - for better setting.
We must take care of the ties now, when decorating the inside of the chocolate box, otherwise later, when the pockets are ready, threading the ribbon will be extremely inconvenient.
We cut the ribbon of sufficient length: it is necessary that the ribbon clasps the chocolate bowl along its narrow part and can be freely tied to a bow. It is recommended to iron the tape before use.
So, from the height of the pocket fabric, we subtract the width of the prepared tape and divide the resulting number by two. If the height of the pocket fabric is 21 cm, and the width of the tape is 1 cm, then (21-1): 2 = 10 cm. We measure 10 cm from the top of the pocket fabric for the chocolate bar and make two vertical cuts with a stationery knife 1 wide -1.2 cm. We thread the tape into these holes, as shown in the photo.
We move the tape so that its center falls approximately on the inner fold of the chocolate bowl.
Let's return to the formation of pockets.
Using a template, cut out the ends of the pocket from designer cardboard - 2 pcs. We make the folds.
Cut off the corners.
On the front side of the cardboard on the wings, which are shaded on the template, we apply two narrow strips of double-sided tape. In this case, it is convenient to use it.
We remove the protective paper from one part of each end and glue a chocolate pocket to each side of the body.
We remove the protective paper from one end and seal the pocket, carefully aligning the fold of the end part with the cut of the fabric. We do the same for the second side. We get a good pocket.
We return to the bill pocket. Apply a thin strip of PVA glue to the upper and lower narrow parts of the body of the money pocket and leave the pocket under pressure.
The inside is ready.
DIY chocolate maker using scrapbooking technique: elements of exterior decoration
Let's move on to the most interesting part: the exterior decoration of the chocolate bowl. We have already cut out the golden rectangle - and now we will glue it with PVA or double-sided tape. Please note: we pull the tying tape along the outer part so that it is in the right place. And glue the golden rectangle onto it.
We cut out another rectangle from the same designer cardboard. Each side should be 1 cm smaller than the golden rectangle. We will paste the white rectangle on voluminous double-sided tape to give volume to the cover of the chocolate box.
Congratulation
We make a congratulatory sign: we write words of congratulations on a small rectangle of designer cardboard. From the remains of golden cardboard we cut out a rectangle, each side of which is 1 cm larger than that of a light congratulatory sign.
We are putting them aside for now: we will return to them at the final stage of making the chocolate maker.
Flowers
We cut out small rectangles from corrugated paper, approximately 7x5 cm (for each flower - one such rectangle).
Pay attention to the direction in which the paper is compressed: this is important.
We cut along the perimeter, cutting off the folds and rounding the narrow part of the rectangle into a petal.
We take the opposite parts of each oval and twist it in the center so that we get two petals.
Now we take three such pairs and sew them into a flower with a regular sewing needle. This requires some skill, so prepare a little more cut paper than you really need for the card: you will be able to choose the most successful flowers.
We do not cut the thread: another 2-3 stitches are used to sew the button into the center of the paper flower. After this, we bring the needle to the wrong side of the flower, make a knot and cut the thread.
For the chocolate card I needed 3 flowers.
Leaflets: from ribbon and “cutting”
As you can see, I have two types of leaves on the chocolate bowl. For the first one, I cut narrow white ribbon into small lengths so that I could fold them into loops. I secured the edge of the loop with thread—literally a couple of stitches.
From the remains of golden cardboard, I cut out two rectangles, right on which, on the wrong side, I drew branches with leaves by hand.
It is convenient to cut them with a breadboard knife. If you don’t have such a knife, you can use nail scissors.
These are the leaves I got.
DIY paper chocolate maker: cover assembly
Warm up the glue gun. At this time, we determine the location of the finished elements of our chocolate maker.
The bottom layer will be twigs. We put two drops of hot glue and embed our branches in them.
Then we put one large blot in the place of one of the flowers. We quickly insert the leaf loops from the ribbon into this blot and the flowers themselves on top. We need to work quickly. We repeat the same for the other two leaves. It seems everything worked out.
I also placed the congratulatory tag on silicone glue: firstly, the gun was already warmed up anyway, and secondly, additional volume in this place would not hurt. I placed the gold backing under the corner, and the sign directly.
The handmade chocolate maker according to our master class is ready.
But if there is no time left to buy chocolate, a gift of money will help out. We’ve already told you once that we hope this article will help you present a truly beautiful gift.
