Gift box

What do you need.

  • ELVEA cardboard packaging (3x400g)
  • Cd
  • A pencil
  • A ruler
  • A pair of scissors
  • Glue
  • A ribbon

How do I get started?

  • 1
    From the Elvea cardboard, cut a strip approximately 22 cm x 10 cm.
  • 2
    Fold the cardboard in the middle.
  • 3
    From the center line, measure 8 cm to the left and right (top and bottom).
  • 4
    Connect these points with lines.
  • 5
    On the right side make a fold line: Measure 1 cm above and below here. Connect these points.
  • 6
    Then measure 4 cm from the center on both sides (top and bottom).
  • 7
    Take a CD and draw the curves of the box. The 4 cm mark will be the highest point of the curve. Repeat this for the inside as well.
  • 8
    Extend the end of the curve on the right side with a diagonal line straight up and down.
  • 9
    Draw two smaller circles (notches) so that the box opens and closes more easily.
  • 10
    Cut the whole thing out.
  • 11
    Carefully go over the fold lines with the tip of your scissors so you can fold the box neatly later.
  • 12
    Apply glue to the outer flap and fold it inward.
  • 13
    Let dry thoroughly.
  • 14
    When everything is dry, shape the box.
  • 15
    Finish with a ribbon or decorative touch. Your gift box is ready to give to someone special! 🎁✨
