How to decorate a gift box: 12 easy and cool ways

You can decorate the box for a surprise in a variety of ways.

Thick paper to help you

You can use anything for this bag: thick glossy paper, newspapers, magazines. You have to consider one thing: the packaging must ultimately be designed for the weight of the gift.

Carefully study the picture below and feel free to start! Be sure to use glue on all joints.

This packaging is often decorated with various tags or bows, or ribbons and pendants are used. If you are giving a gift for New Year can be glued to the bag Christmas tree toy, a ball, a cut out snowflake or a branch from a Christmas tree.

Boxes of various shapes

In fact, to make an original and creative packaging for your gift is easier than it might seem at first glance. To do this, you need to buy a clerical knife, as well as sheets of cardboard. Prepare additional decor with tools like a stapler.

It’s easier to work: draw and cut out a certain template from a sheet of paper (it is often used in the future), transfer the completed stencil to thick paper and carefully cut out the resulting workpiece. After that, make cuts on the folds and make a box.

chocolate girls

An unusual gift in the form of a chocolate bar. This is a package that has the dimensions of a standard chocolate bar. Some sweetness is placed in it, as well as spiritual, original wish. It is also common to place a monetary addition in the chocolate bar. Money can be put under a bookmark in the package.

Chocolate can be decorated for absolutely any holiday. For example, on New Year's Eve, a chocolate bar is often wrapped in white paper, draw a figure of a snowman, glue a hat in the upper part. There is a huge variety of ways to decorate any of your gifts.

Themed wrapper

Here you can build on the interests of the person to whom you are giving the item. For travelers, you can wrap your gift in a standard map by geography, for a music lover - in images of notes, for athletes - in images of medals and cups.

natural materials

Also, do not forget about natural materials, since natural and natural decorations on gifts have always been appreciated both before and now. Often this type of decoration is called eco-style. Kraft paper is often used for the basis of this package, and cones, branches from fir trees, flowers, berries, nuts, wooden figurines and bright bird feathers are used as decorations - young children especially like this.

Pyramids

Pyramid is a very unusual and original packaging. You can put some nice little surprise in it and give it for any occasion. To create it with your own hands, double-sided paper is used so that the inner surface of the box is also beautifully designed. You can make such packaging very quickly (about 15 minutes) and simply.

For this you will need:

• beautiful paper;
• ordinary scissors;
• good glue;
• thin ribbon, in harmony with the paper;
• varied decor.

The use of various materials: matchboxes, cans

In order for your present to be different from the rest, to be remembered for a long time by a person and to surprise at first sight, you need to use something unusual.

For example, if you have a gift of small dimensions, you can put it in an ordinary matchbox or in a nut shell. And also:

• use ordinary newspapers instead of decorative paper,
• sew boxes from the remaining postcards,
• put presents in egg trays,
• decorated glass jars.

There are a great many options, here the most important thing is your imagination!

We focus on the details

Many people forget that it is the details that give the gift its uniqueness and eccentricity. In the event that your packaging is already very bright and unusual, then you can do without various additions, because otherwise the present will look gaudy. However, if your packaging is from a gift of a standard, classic look, then the details are simply irreplaceable.

Japanese "furoshiki"

The type of art “furoshiki” (literally translated as “bath rug”) is a method of elegant decoration in a piece of ordinary fabric. A kind of relative of origami, but only work is being done with textiles. This technique has been used for a very long time and was used in ancient Japan.

Tags for great gifts

Such leaflets with small additions in the form of original inscriptions delight many people, because they are, in fact, the final touch of the product.

Tags can be easily made on your own using various decorative methods of “aging” paper (it is soaked in weak coffee or weakly brewed tea, then the process of rubbing with non-rough sandpaper comes, you can slightly tear the paper around the edges and much, much more).

Application of kraft paper

Glitter gift paper is an important part of any gift wrapping. However, it looks pretty standard and has already managed to get bored with many. To replace this paper, you can use eco-friendly kraft paper, which looks great and can be found in all office supply stores.

Important note

In order for the packaging not to be boring, it needs to be decorated somehow. You can use drawing different figures and patterns with a felt-tip pen or paints, or by gluing a photo directly onto the wrapper - the main thing here is your imagination.

Use of unusual decorations

Studying the unique methods of gift wrapping, it is necessary to talk about perhaps the most unusual method of decorating surprises - decorating with something edible. For example, lollipops, beautifully decorated sweets or delicious cookies in bright packaging will make a gift not only unique and inimitable, but also appetizing.

In order for not only a present, but also its packaging to please a man, you need to show imagination. What exactly is good for making a first impression?

1. Textile. The most preferred materials with a rough texture are cotton, wool or linen. They are suitable for a gift of any form - envelopes, boxes, bottles.
2. Paper. It should be gift, reaped or plain, preferably bright, but not flashy colors. You can wrap it with everything that has flat surface- boxes or books. If you stop at the last option, check out the selection.
3. Box. The option is relevant in the case of large, soft, beating gifts.
4. Package. A budget option for small-sized presents - an umbrella, a mug, a pen.

It's best to avoid images of flowers and opt for plain packaging in general.

Packing color should be restrained, but you can give preference to bright shades. Blue, white, brown, dark green will look ideal here.

Necessary elements for decoration

Since in gift wrapping, as well as in choosing it, you need to show maximum imagination, it is recommended to decorate it beautifully. To do this, use the following decorative elements:

• satin ribbons of different sizes;
• lace for decorating a gift for February 14;
• twine, pieces of fabric, bows for decorating a present for a birthday and any other holiday;
• beautiful labels to personalize the gift;
• mini figurines carved from wood.

It all depends on the holiday for which you are going to give the guy a gift. For New Year's present packaging can be decorated spruce branches and cones.

• You should always start with wrapping paper, only after fixing it should you move on to decorating with ribbons, lace, leaves.
• The color of the packaging and decorative elements should be combined, it is not necessary, for example, to match brown paper with acid-green ribbons.
