A beautifully packaged gift is perceived better by our aesthetic senses, automatically increasing the significance of the gift. In order for the gift to receive its holiday packaging, the site’s editors will tell you how to make original boxes with your own hands for the New Year.
And beautiful, and neat, and impressive
Why have various types of gift boxes become so popular? If you approach the presentation of gifts from the position of “it’s good even without packaging,” then it’s enough to imagine a picture of all the gifts lying under the tree in a big pile. And without the proper approach, it will be a real heap, besides, it’s simply not clear where whose gift is. To give a loved one special joy, you need to competently approach the issue of presenting a gift: don’t be lazy and prepare gift boxes for the New Year with your own hands.
What you need to make your own New Year's boxes
Depending on the expected result, a suitable material for packaging products is selected. Cardboard is best suited for this purpose: you can take white if decor is meant, colored, with a print, or use thick paper for scrapbooking.
There is an interesting way to turn ordinary cardboard into painted one. For this they purchase New Year's napkin big size. Cling film is very carefully placed on the cardboard and a napkin is spread on top. On top of the napkin, through a sheet of A4 office paper, the cardboard is ironed with an iron at medium heat. Thanks to the cling film, the napkin will ideally stick to the cardboard, turning it into a colorful one.
Depending on the type of product, you may also need a box template, a ruler, a simple pencil, scissors, a satin ribbon or braid for ties.

Moreover, the house can be used as New Year's decor And .
New Year's gift box "House"
To assemble the structure of the house and work with the material we will need:
- cardboard 3 mm thick;
- white Whatman paper;
- PVA glue;
- stationery knife;
- scissors;
- glue gun;
- masking tape;
- glue brush;
- paint brush;
- white acrylic paint;
- hole punch or grommet tool;
- pencil;
- cutting mat;
- figured hole punch-border.
For decoration we will need the following materials:
- napkins for decoupage or regular ones with a New Year's print;
- decorative paper for gluing the inside of the house;
- white cardboard;
- lace;
- twine;
- large bead;
- satin ribbons;
- half beads;
- whole spices: cinnamon sticks and star anise;
- the rest of the decor is made of artificial materials.
Creating a house- this is a very easy process, and here you can show your imagination at full speed. The main thing is to cut out all the parts evenly, then assembling the structure and decorating it will not be difficult. If you do not have any of the materials or tools used in the master class, then alternative options will be provided, so do not be discouraged if you do not find sticks in your local store.
In the master class, ordinary napkins with a New Year's print are used to cover the surface. The walls of the box are covered with more dark color, and just one napkin was enough for the whole house. But for the roof, napkins are used on a white background, which is why the surface is painted white acrylic paint, since cardboard dark color and will be enlightened in another case. So pay attention to the color of the cardboard and napkins for pasting. If there is a chance that the color of the cardboard will spoil the whole look, then it must first be covered with white Whatman paper or painted.
To paste the inside of the house you need to select decorative paper, which is very similar to a napkin and is easy to stick with glue. This kind of paper can be bought in flower shops, etc. In the master class, the paper looks like a very thin transparent layer of felt.
Preparing parts for the base of the house
In order for the edges of all parts to be smooth, it is better to cut them to fit the ruler stationery knife. If the cardboard you use is less than 3 mm, then it is quite possible to cut it with scissors.
We draw on cardboard and cut out all the details.
In the case of the side walls: first we cut out rectangles with dimensions of 15.6 x 15 cm, then along the edge 15 cm long we mark the middle and lower the perpendicular with a height of 4 cm. We draw this all out and cut off the resulting corners, which follow the shape of the roof.
Cut out the parts for the roof.
Assembly of the structure
We begin assembling the house from the side walls and bottom. We will fasten it with hot glue, so we need to work very quickly so that it does not have time to harden. Hot-melt adhesive can be replaced with Moment Crystal glue.
Apply a layer of glue along the edge of the side with a length of 15 cm along the surface that faces up. The bottom should already be on the cutting mat and we quickly place each side against the edge of the cardboard, while forming a right angle. We place both walls opposite each other.
Internal joints must be sealed with masking tape to make the structure more durable. When gluing, we form right angles.
Pasting the walls of the house
Now we proceed directly to gluing the outer walls first. The ¼ size napkin is just the right size for the wall, so all four pieces are enough to cover the entire outside. It is convenient to divide the napkin into two parts to cover two walls at once.
We remove the layer with the pattern we need from the napkin.
Apply a thin layer of PVA glue with a brush. If there is a lot of glue, the cardboard may bend during the drying process, and the napkin may tear when gluing.
If you don’t have a cinnamon stick and couldn’t make a hole in the cardboard, you can simply glue a bow on top of the lid, with which you can also open it.
Decorating the house
When the roof has dried, you need to attach it to the house, but first we will punch it with a border hole punch and cut out two strips, each 21 cm long. We glue them using hot glue along the inner side edges of the roof.
We decide where the front part of the house will be and where the back will be. We will attach one part of the roof just to the back. Apply glue along the top edge to only one half and fasten one side of the roof, placing it so that there are equal allowances on all sides.
The upper joint on the roof can be covered with tape by gluing it only along the edge of one part of the roof.
We decorate the house at our discretion. You can create a composition from whole spices and artificial decoration. We decorate the roof with half beads and lace.
Since the napkins depict a bear with New Year's tree and gifts, then for greater effect you can decorate the Christmas tree with beads, glue a real bow on the bear and make a gift out of cardboard. You will get a 3D effect.

Find the midpoints on the sides of 15 cm and fit them into big rectangle rhombus. Its vertices will be the middle of the sides of the workpiece.
Now we fold the workpiece in half along the marked line and also bend the cardboard inward on the sides of the diamond.
We combine the side triangles to form a triangular box and punch holes with a hole punch. A ribbon is threaded through the holes on both sides. The box itself is ready, all that remains is to decorate it.

Inspiration to everyone and happy New Year holidays!
The New Year is not that close yet, but it’s not very far either, which means that you need to start preparing for it little by little. And, above all, you need to think about what you will give to your loved ones. But at the same time, you need to consider options for designing your gifts. I propose to abandon standard paper bags and wrapping paper, and instead, make a beautiful New Year's box with your own hands, which will symbolize the New Year's tree.
To make an original box, you will need:
- corrugated cardboard (or any other thick green cardboard);
- pencil;
- scissors;
- ribbons, bows or any other cute decorations
To avoid accidentally ruining the cardboard for the box, it is recommended to first make a template on newspaper or other paper. To draw the template, use the diagram below, scaling it to the desired size:
When the diagram is ready, place it on the back of the cardboard and trace the outline with a pencil. 
Then draw along the fold lines marked on the diagram, using a non-writing ballpoint hand with some force, using a ruler to ensure that the lines are straight. Thanks to this, you can carefully fold the box in the right places.
When you are done with hand punching the lines, bend the template along them.
Place the gift you are going to wrap in the middle.
Next, you should begin to assemble the walls of the box one by one, in accordance with the photographs attached below. After this, you can glue the edges together with glue (they should be inside), but this is not at all necessary if you are going to tie it with a ribbon, since in this case it will also hold its shape well. 
Bringing all the edges of the box together, tie it with ribbon and tie a bow. You can decorate the box with small bows, serpentine, etc.
Be sure that your friends will be very pleased to receive New Year's gift in a box like this.
