In December, active preparations for the New Year holiday begin. It is necessary to purchase gifts for all loved ones and guests, and decorate the house. I want everything to be perfect, beautifully decorated in a festive way. Gifts, or rather their packaging, deserve special attention. If you want to make beautiful packaging boxes for gifts that you have made or purchased for your loved ones, do not deny yourself this pleasure.

Necessary materials

Let's look at how to make gift boxes for a Christmas tree and first of all you need to figure out what materials you may need for this. If we are talking about making simple structures, you need to prepare:

• Thin colored cardboard or whatman paper can be used.
• For office supplies, take a pencil and scissors, a ruler and a utility knife.
• To make small holes you may need a hole punch.

House box - a non-standard solution

1. Do you like to surprise people? In this case, you should consider making a house box.
   To get started, you will need to save and print the template below. Print it on beautiful paper, which can be purchased at an office supply store. If you can’t print it, transfer the diagram onto paper with your own hand.

1. Now cut out the workpiece and bend it as shown on the template (along the dotted lines).
2. Make two slits in the bottom and insert the tape into them. Use a utility knife to cut holes.
3. Next, you need to glue the structure. Cut two rectangles from suitable paper to make the roof. Bend the workpiece 1 cm at a time and also make slits where you will later insert the ribbon.
4. Insert the ribbons into the pre-made slots and place the gift inside the box, tie the ribbon on a bow.

Round packaging box

1. You will need cardboard, you can take it from some box. From it, cut out four circles of the size you require. Please note that two of them should be made a little smaller than the others.
2. Cut two strips from beer cardboard; their length should be equal to the radius of your circles. Don't forget to allow for overlap. One strip is wider, the second is narrower.
3. Using double-sided tape, glue two circles together according to their sizes.
4. The base will be made from circles that are smaller in size. To do this, apply glue to the sides of the circle and glue the strip. To increase strength, you can glue several boxes.
5. Do the same with the lid, gluing a narrow picture strip around the perimeter of the larger circle.

Make a bow from a ribbon and decorate your box with it.
