Gift presents: kids craft ideas

So to make a so-called pillow box – a box-cushion us ponabitsya:

- Protective cover for the table (this may be a special rug, a piece of linoleum or hardboard) 
- paper or cardboard 
- a ruler, scissors, pencil 
- paper cutter (this can be an ordinary office knife, knife poster, etc.) 
- the old nepishuschaya knob 
- a round object as a stencil 
- double-sided tape or glue 
- as decorative elements – the grommets and Tape

The paper, which I chose for this box has a size 21.5 * 28 cm, which is much too much for this purpose, because I cut the paper in half.

One half put off for later, and on the second start khimichit) to arm with a pencil and a ruler and divide the paper into pieces 10, 10, 1.5 cm

Then take something round, for drawing a circle. Originally I planned on this piece of metal from the role rested HDD, but the diameter was too small, so we had to fit the saucer.

Outline the saucer in those places, KDE, we will have the edge krobochki. In the end, should reach the following:

Put aside the pencil and take nepishuschuyu pen, or any other rather thin, but at the same time blunt object, for punching borozki on which we shall bend the edges. As the cliche – is still the same plate.

We say goodbye to a plate, take a ruler and a hand holding a pen on the bend box. Then cut with scissors or cutter sweep. Optionally, you can cut small polukruzhochki in valves make it easier to open then. It should be borne in mind that they should do only one side to avoid discord then.

In fact, at this stage would be to seal his side already, but I want to add some decorations to look more przdnichno box. As decoration will make a bow of satin ribbon. And not to pass through it just in the paper, we use the grommet - it’s metal cylinders with pre-curved edge gently with one hand, are used to design a beautiful hole in the paper, cardboard, plastic. I used grommets firm Quicklet, they are already pre-incised on the reverse side, so you can install them with just a pen, not being spent on special setter eyelets. Eyelet cut small holes with a diameter of 3 mm vstavoyaem grommet, flip the paper and bend the edge of the grommet. It looks like little stars))

Pass through the tape, ties a bow.

Well, now you can seal the edge. This can be done either with glue or tape two-way (for me, that the tape more carefully). If you have chosen tape, the first otreazem strip of desired length, glue the paper, carefully iron.

After that, remove the protective film, while the paper remains the only adhesive tape. Glue the other end boxes.

Now carefully bend the edge, with valves with semicircles bend in the first place, that they were inside, and whole valves – from the outside. Actually, the box is ready!

Thus it is possible to make boxes of all sizes, decorated with ribbons, not only, but also the tags, flowers, snowflakes, performing transparent windows, etc. etc. The limits of imagination, as we know, no!

I hope the lesson will be useful and understandable) If you have any questions, please e-mail.
