Every year handmade gifts are becoming more and more popular. This is not surprising, because a piece of soul and love is invested in them. But still, you should take care not only about the gift, but also about the beautiful packaging. Therefore, today we offer several master classes with the help of which you can create boxes of various shapes and sizes.
Heart Shaped Box
If desired, the box can be used not only for gift wrapping, but also as an unusual box.

- beads;
- compass;
- pencil;
- glue in the gun;

On dense cardboard draw two hearts with a pencil, compass and ruler. Use the dimensions shown in the photo. If desired, you can make the box less or more. 
Cut out two pieces of cardboard. Choose your own width. The length will depend on the size of the box itself. Also cut four strips of colored paper. 
Getting to the preparation of strips.To do this, we bend them 1-1.5 cm and cut out the “teeth” on this part. This is necessary in order to stick the strips to the box as well as possible. Apply glue gently to the substrate. 
Glue the strip to the bottom of the box teeth inside. If you wish, you can make a small indent to make it more comfortable to glue. 
Glue the second strip in the same way. If necessary, you can fasten them with a simple clip or clip. 
From the inside we paste two strips of colored paper. Attach two pieces of tape to the sides of the box. They are necessary in order to connect the product itself with the lid. 
To the other side of the ribbons we glue the heart-shaped blank of cardboard.
Glue the sides of the box-caskets with colored paper. The same is repeated with the lid. 
We glue on the lace and decorate it on our own. 
Box "slice of cake"
