[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!
Stylish star boxNEW!
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.
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!
3D! Star-shaped accessory caseNEW!
You can flatten and store it when not in use! It’s a star-shaped trinket box.
Fold the origami in half, then in half again to make a square.
After creasing, open it back to the half-folded state, align both side edges to the center line to crease, then unfold.
Fold the two bottom corners up to the outer crease, then fold again so the new creases align with the center line.
In this state, trim off the unnecessary top portion, and the origami becomes a hexagon.
Fold the edges of the hexagon inward, crease the center of the origami into a hexagon, then keep adding creases as you collapse it into a smaller hexagon.
Finally, fold the center area outward to make the opening of the container, press the sides inward to form a star shape, and you’re done!
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!
