Paper boxes are a great way to decorate gifts with your own hands, create original packaging for storing household items, and also a great opportunity to bring creative impulses to life.
A big plus is that you can start training on plain paper or unnecessary thick cardboard, after which you can move on to making beautiful boxes from special paper.
To make your own gift box neat and attractive, it would be a good idea to take the advice of professionals and follow the step-by-step instructions with photographs and diagrams that can be found in our material.
Origami paper box
The first box should be easy to make and have a great appearance. Therefore, let's start making a regular square origami paper box.
For the creative process we will need:
- paper that is used for wrapping gifts (in the absence of such material, you can use regular colored paper);
- scissors;
- ruler and simple pencil;
- decoration elements of the finished product, if you want to decorate the craft.
Having collected the entire list of materials and tools, you can begin manufacturing. We will describe below how to make a simple paper box.
First you need to select the same material for the lid and base of the product. After all, the craft must be made in the same style.
Step-by-step instructions for making a square box:
- Making a box begins with creating a lid. Therefore, you need to take paper and cut a square out of it. The dimensions of the square can be very different, that is, they depend on the manufacturer’s idea. Next, draw diagonal lines on the square using a pencil and a ruler (you should get a cross).
- Bend the bottom corner. It is necessary to bend so that the angle lies exactly to the marked section in the center. Fold, fold one more time. It should line up exactly with the line in the center. It is recommended to iron all folds well so that they are visually visible on the paper. After ironing, the craft bends back to its original shape.
- Using a similar pattern, we bend the remaining corners of the square. The result should be a square with visually visible bend lines. Now you need to make cuts on both sides and fold the parts into the shape of a lid for the box.
We figured out how to make a lid for a box out of paper, now we move on to making the box itself.
Manufacturing proceeds as follows:
- It is necessary to cut a square from the selected material, but in this case it should be 3 mm smaller than the square cut for the lid. Manufacturing begins with constructing the bottom of the craft. The bottom folds in the same way as the lid.
- After bending and assembling the box, you need to decorate it. For this purpose, ribbon, appliques and flowers are often used. After decorating, all that remains is to glue the inner ends with double-sided tape.
And so, we figured out how to make a box out of paper in a simple origami way. But there are many other manufacturing options that have a more attractive appearance. These boxes will be discussed further below.

Rectangular box
If you need to present a gift of a large size, then you should not purchase ready-made packaging. It will be much more pleasant for a person if the gift is in a homemade box, which will be in one original copy, compared to all the usual gift packaging.
The production of a rectangular box is carried out:
- from cardboard;
- from double-sided tape or glue;
- for production you will need scissors;
- pencil and ruler;
- various decorations that you like and are suitable for decorating the finished product.
Having collected the necessary materials and tools, we begin manufacturing. The manufacturing process begins with selecting and cutting out a template.
If it is not possible to print a template, you can draw and cut it directly on the selected cardboard. In this case, it is advisable to maintain dimensions and proportions.
The process of constructing a rectangular box:
Rectangular box
- We draw lines on the cardboard in accordance with the drawing in the photo and cut it out along the contour. Next you need to bend all the edges along the dotted lines. Since cardboard is a dense material that is difficult to bend, it is recommended to use something with a sharp edge for bending. This could be a pencil, a screwdriver, or even a nail file.
- After all the folds are made, and the shape of the box is obtained, in the places where the edges should be glued, apply glue or glue double-sided tape. Then we connect all the parts into a single structure.
- And so the box is ready, if a gift is to be given in it, then it needs to be decorated. To do this, you can use any decorating material you like.
The whole box is ready, you can put a gift in it and present it.
Complex models
The proposed MK will help you make different origami boxes for gifts. As a rule, a beautiful colored box with a lid looks especially attractive in this light. They can be of different shapes - from the classic rectangular to the shape of a heart. Compared to assembling simple classic models, folding them is somewhat more difficult, but with some skill, even a beginner can get a beautiful packaging box assembled with their own hands:
You can watch the video on how to make an original accordion box from modules.
A paper gift box is usually made from several squares. Each square is used to form one of the sides of the package, and then they are connected to each other, like modular figures.
Following the detailed schematic instructions, first you can try to make an ordinary rectangular box using this principle. It is made from 8 paper squares (it is better that they are colored on both sides): 4 squares for the base and 4 for the lid.
Packaging of any shape can be made using this principle. For example, an octagonal origami box also consists of 8 squares, but folding is somewhat more difficult than a rectangular one:
Using origami, you can decorate your gift in an original way. Beautiful gift wrapping, decorated with a rose, is also assembled from several parts. To understand how this rose is made, it is recommended to watch the video.
Round box
We've figured out the simple shapes of the boxes, now we'll tell you how to make a round box out of paper.
To make it you need to have:
- corrugated packaging cardboard;
- ruler;
- a simple pencil;
- a non-writing pen or similar object with a sharp edge;
- glue or double-sided tape;
- decoration elements.
Having collected the material, we begin production. The manufacturing process is performed as follows:
Round box preparatory stage
- We cut 4 circles from corrugated cardboard packaging, and 2 of them should have a smaller size;
- the circles are cut out, now you need to cut out 4 strips according to the size of the circles, one should be wide and the other narrow and preferably with a margin of length;
- glue the circles together; final stage
- take smaller glued circles (for the base) and glue a strip to them, so the base is ready;
- Now we use the same principle to make a lid from large circles.
Origami box with lid
The good thing about a cube box is that it consists of one piece and there is no need to assemble the lid separately. It’s also very easy to vary sizes because it’s based on regular squares and rectangles. You can make the tabs for the lid a little longer so that it does not open on its own. The main thing is to glue all the corner joints well along the entire length and press them until they set.

Cake box
Cake box
As you have seen, paper can be used to make not only boxes of simple shapes, but also gift boxes of original and more attractive shapes. We made a round gift box. Now we’ll tell you how to make a paper box in the shape of a cake.
It is much easier to make such a box using a template. For work you will need:
- thick paper or cardboard;
- glue;
- scissors;
- pencils;
- ruler;
- optional decoration.
The edges of the lid can be either wavy or straight, the color of the material is chosen according to the manufacturer’s preference. The size is also chosen by the manufacturer himself, but please note that the base of the box should be 3 mm smaller than the lid. To make a box of this type beautiful, it is recommended to first make the craft from plain paper, and then start making it from thick material.
Cake box making process:
Scheme for a cake box
- take the template and transfer it to the selected material;
- after transfer, cut out the blanks;
- along the dotted lines, since the material is of high density and is difficult to bend, use a credit card or a ruler for ironing;
- glue the bottom and top of the product at the joints.
The entire box is ready, you can decorate it if desired or necessary. Why are ribbons, beads, flowers and appliqués often used?
Cute bonbonnieres
Bonbonnieres are a special type of boxes. Bonbon in French means candy, and the name of the boxes comes from the word “candy bowl”. It is the bonbonnieres with candies or sweet dragees that the newlyweds give to their guests at the wedding - in response to congratulations. Ordering a bonbonniere to be made for each guest is not a cheap pleasure. But it won’t be difficult for the bride and her bridesmaids to make bonbonnieres in the style and tone of the wedding.
One of the simplest options
Elegant.
They resemble a box or a small chest. Just a little more difficult than the first ones. We make slits in them with a stationery knife, holes, if we want to pull in a ribbon or lace, with a hole punch.
Unusual and tasty.
As a rule, bonbonnieres are located on a special separate table and often on a dish or tray. You can beautifully play with this situation and make bonbonnieres in the form of pieces of cake. And you need to place them together, as if it were a paper cake.
First, we draw a large circle (the plane of the cake) and divide it into sectors in order to know the parameters of our pieces. Then, according to the dimensions, we draw a diagram of the development of the piece. We make the required number of developments, cut them out and glue them together. You can decorate before gluing, or after - it all depends on the idea of your decor.
This is what the undecorated cake should look like:
And here are the finished decorated cakes with bomboniere pieces:
Christmas tree box
New Year is considered a holiday where everyone gives gifts to each other. To beautifully present a holiday gift to friends or relatives, many people buy New Year's packaging. But why spend money on this if you can make a box in the shape of a Christmas tree yourself. This craft will be exclusive and anyone will like it. We will now tell you in detail how to make a paper box in the shape of a Christmas tree.
To create such a holiday box you need to prepare:
- green paper, but double-sided colored cardboard is better;
- hole pliers;
- Christmas tree template;
- square and ruler;
- scissors;
- pencil eraser;
- pencil;
- office glue.
To decorate the finished craft, you can use beads, rhinestones and other decorative elements at your discretion. Beads can imitate New Year's balls, rhinestones will act as New Year's lanterns. If you're lucky, you might be able to find a small star for the top in the craft department. The Christmas tree will become elegant and festive. By the way, you can involve a child in making it; he will be interested in it.
Manufacturing is carried out in this way:
Christmas tree box (Step 1)
- using a ready-made template, it must be transferred to green cardboard, but in such a way that there are ears on the sides, which are necessary for the symmetry of the craft;
- the bottom of the outlined template is the bottom of the box; (Step 2)
- turn the paper over and pass the template again to get the same pattern, it is advisable to use a square and a ruler;
- after that, cut out the pattern with scissors;
- erase the pencil;
- Glue the joints of the Christmas tree. (Step 3)
The Christmas tree is ready, all that remains is to decorate it and give it as a gift.
Heart shaped box
You can give such a box to your other half on a significant holiday for lovers. There are several manufacturing options, but it is more logical to try with the simplest ones. For the first one you will need a ready-made drawing.
Formation of paper product:
- Cut out the layout.
- Fold along the dotted lines.
- Secure the edges of the strip with arcs.
- The box is ready.
But there is one problem - attaching a large strip and bases - hearts. You can use glue, stationery tape (multi-colored), a needle and colored thread (suitable only for sewing dense materials), or you can add a layer of line with spikes that would hold the structure, as will be done in the second option.
The next model is an openwork heart with tight fasteners, how to make it:
- Draw an openwork or simple (at your discretion) heart and cut it out.
- Prepare a rectangular strip, the width of which is the height of the future box. Form “spikes” on one side. This strip should be enough for the whole heart. Cut out.
- Bend the “spikes” into one straight line, as can be seen in the figure.
- Glue them to the base (heart). If it is of a regular shape, then you can not deviate from the edge, but if it is curly, then it is better to leave a small distance.
- The box is ready.
You can also make a heart-shaped lid for it. It is enough to take a base slightly larger than the previous one, and a strip of a smaller width, literally 2-3 times. If you plan to put something edible there, then simply cover it with cling film and tie it on the sides with a beautiful ribbon or ribbon.
Special Occasion Box
Why did we call this box the “Special Occasion Box”? The fact is that her appearance is like a diamond. Just think about how nice it is to present a gift in the form of a tie to a man using such packaging material.
Special Occasion Box
Before making such a paper box, prepare:
- scissors;
- paper of any shade;
- sewing needle;
- ruler;
- glue;
- double-sided tape.
Let's get started:
- The first thing we need to do is print out the template. This is not necessary, you can simply redraw it. We will need two templates, one large, one smaller. You need to draw a template or print it directly on the paper from which the box will be made.
- Cut out the template using scissors. We place a map or ruler close to the resulting lines and carefully draw along them with a needle. You can use a special running tool.
- We need this running process in order to assemble the diamond into one whole during the manufacturing process. Please note that each line needs to be processed.
- Let's start assembling the structure. This step can be performed in several ways. You can treat the edges of the workpiece with glue and glue the first part of the figure; instead of glue, you can use tape.
- After gluing, iron the pressed lines again. The box is almost ready.
The interior design of the box depends on what kind of gift it will contain. If this is a ring, preferably on the bottom, put a layer of padding polyester and seal the remaining part. Our special occasion packaging is ready!
Fruit slices
The NataliDoma DIY channel presents a video that shows the process of making colorful cardboard boxes for candies. They look like pieces of watermelon and orange slices. The video tutorial will appeal to those who do not like obvious explanations from presenters - the process is simply demonstrated in detail. To work you will need colored cardboard, scissors, paper for making a template, a ruler, a pen and glue. If you make several crafts, you can fasten them with tape. The result is original packaging for a small surprise gift for any occasion.
Sunboy Box
Let's consider another option for making a box using the Sunboy technique. In the original version, this packaging was used as a container for sweets. Today, various pleasant little things are stored in this box.
For manufacturing we need a square sheet.
Manufacturing process:
- First, let's start creating a “pancake” (base). We fold the paper, then bend and unfold all the corners to class=”aligncenter” width=”1024″ height=”680″[/img] Sunboy box diagram
- Once again bend the shape into a triangle. We bend the right side and turn the workpiece over.
- Now you need to make a valley fold. This fold is called so because the fold is drawn away from the person. Then fold the triangle again. The fold in this case should protrude to the top.
- Without changing the position, straighten the workpiece and bend the side from right to left. Expand the layer on top. We repeat the steps indicated above, but on the other side. In this case, the side on the left should bend to the right.
- Fold all sides towards the center. We bend the top layer, making sure that the angles between the sides are 90 degrees.
If the instructions seemed complicated to you, use the visual instructions megamaster.info, you will see that everything is not so complicated.
Paper selection
Usually, square sheets of paper are used to work in origami technique. For simple figures, plain paper with a density of 70-90 g per 1 square meter is quite suitable. m. This is paper similar to that used in office equipment. A denser one is not very suitable, since the folds on it hold their shape less well. Very beautiful boxes are obtained if you use double-sided colored paper: it is quite thick, but the folds are well preserved and do not diverge. In addition, the inside of such a product will also be colored.
