[Christmas] Handmade Gift Box Ideas (1–10)
Christmas cake box made with origami

Here’s an idea for a gift box shaped like a Christmas cake.
Amazingly, the base cake can be made using only origami.
You’ll need nine sheets of white origami paper and nine sheets of beige.
The beige sheets need to be resized, so please cut them with a craft knife or similar tool.
Let’s fold the parts for the lid using the white origami paper.
Once you glue together the eight parts and the bottom surface, the lid is complete.
Do the same with the beige origami paper to assemble the box.
There are plenty of videos showing how to fold decorations like Santa Claus strawberries, so make your favorites and decorate as you like!
Christmas box made from a milk carton

Shall we make a Christmas box using a milk carton? We’ll use 6 cm from the bottom of the carton as the box, so first cut open the upper part.
Next, draw a tree shape on green construction paper and cut it out.
The key is to cut it a bit larger than the line you drew.
Paste the cut-out tree onto the opened milk carton and cut along the lines.
If you cover the box section with brown construction paper, it will look even more like a tree.
Finally, decorate it with a craft punch and other embellishments, and your cute Christmas tree box is complete!
Stylish star box

Fold the origami paper in half, then fold the right edge to align with the top and bottom edges to make a crease.
Fold the left corner to the center point of the crease, then fold it back along the crease.
Next, align the right bottom edge with the folded-back crease and fold, then fold the paper in half so the shapes overlap neatly.
Using scissors, cut off the excess along the lowest diagonal line to make a pentagon.
Open the paper and fold all the pentagon’s corners inward, then fold the newly formed corners in the same way.
Turn the paper over, make creases by folding along the straight lines that connect each corner, and use these creases to raise the sides and form a star shape.
Round gift box with lid

Round boxes have such a refined, lovely design! Many people may think making them by hand is difficult, but they’re surprisingly easy, so why not give it a try? Prepare a circularly cut bottom piece and a strip cut for the side, then assemble them together.
If you cut the lower edge of the strip into small notches, it’s easier to form a cylinder and glue it in place.
Make the lid with a different height.
If you’re making one for a Christmas present, using Christmas colors like red, green, or white might make it even more appealing!
Surprise box
https://www.tiktok.com/@asakeyuzima/video/7301989068131273986How about a surprise box that’s guaranteed to amaze when you give it as a gift? Prepare your favorite box and wrapping paper, some rubber bands, ribbon, and bamboo skewers.
First, make four pieces of bamboo skewer, each folded to a length of 3 centimeters.
If you score the skewer at the length you want to fold, you can snap it by hand.
Next, let’s modify the box.
Use a utility knife to make slits and open it up, then decorate the surface with wrapping paper and ribbon.
Punch holes in the four sides you opened earlier, and use the rubber bands and bamboo skewers to create a popping mechanism.
Once the mechanism is done, decorate the inside so it’s hidden.
Decorate the lid as well, and your pop-up surprise box is complete!
Gift box made with chenille stems (pipe cleaners)
https://www.tiktok.com/@creativeheartcrafts/video/7315788841745386795Let’s make a gift box using scrap cardboard! Cut the cardboard to uniform sizes so it forms the shape of a box.
You’ll need five pieces each for the box and the lid.
Once the cardboard is ready, wrap it with pipe cleaners.
If you use green and red pipe cleaners for the box and white and red for the lid, the red ribbon will line up when assembled, making it super cute! After decorating each piece with pipe cleaners, secure them with glue.
Adding a 3D ribbon in the center of the box will enhance the gift-box feel and make it look lovely!
Fun Box Made of Cardboard
https://www.tiktok.com/@chiharu_puni/video/6906428037806427394Here’s an idea to jazz up plain cardboard.
Plain boxes can feel a bit dull as gift wrapping, right? In those cases, try drawing a Santa Claus! For the beard, it’s cute to follow the video’s example and use copier paper printed with “santazon.” Of course, you can also draw and make it with origami or construction paper for a touch of originality.
Next, add the nose, eyes, hat, and other features.
You can also cut and paste shapes from origami paper if you like.
Finally, write “Merry Christmas” or add a message to finish it off!
