[Christmas] Handmade Gift Box Ideas (1–10)
A gift box made with a lunch box

How about a gift box made from disposable lunch boxes you can buy at 100-yen shops? You’ll also need masking tape, ribbon, a mini garland, and a message card.
Many 100-yen shops carry mini garlands and message cards as well, so try looking for them.
Decorate the lunch box with masking tape and ribbon.
Adding a garland that has some movement will make it even cuter.
Imagine the happy look on the recipient’s face as you make it, and give it a try!
refrigerator box

Here’s an idea for a handmade “refrigerator.” The materials you’ll need are two boxes of your choice, ribbon, masking tape, and double-sided tape.
You can find cute patterned boxes and ribbons in various colors at 100-yen shops.
The method is simple: separate the boxes into the storage section and the lid section, then attach the four box sides together using double-sided tape and masking tape.
If the inside is plain, you can decorate it with origami paper or wrapping paper to make it cuter.
Finally, wrap it with ribbon, put sweets inside as the contents, and it’s done.
It seems like a gift that would be appreciated as a handmade present for Christmas!
Jack-in-the-box

How about a pop-up jack-in-the-box that will surprise the recipient? Gather some recycled materials like a milk carton and a plastic bottle, plus a foam board, bamboo skewers, a straw, and twine.
Cut the milk carton according to the blueprint shown in the video, and attach the foam board with double-sided tape.
Use the cut plastic bottle, bamboo skewer, and twine to create the popping mechanism, then install the sliding lid.
Attach anything you like to the end of the mechanism, and your jack-in-the-box is complete.
Use this video as a reference and give making a fun jack-in-the-box a try!

Here’s an idea for a gift box shaped like a whole cake.
Prepare a cylindrical box.
Apply glue to the box and stick on fluffy yarn.
Be sure not to put yarn where the lid closes.
Once the entire box is covered with yarn, top it with decorative balls shaped like strawberries and whipped cream.
Finally, place a message card that looks like a chocolate plaque, and you’re done! This video features a strawberry whole cake, but changing the colors of the yarn and decorative balls is cute too.
It’s easy to make, so give it a try!
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.
3D! Star-shaped accessory case

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!

Here’s a Santa Claus box idea that also works great as interior decor.
Prepare a large cardboard box and decorate it like a chimney.
Using design paper makes it easy.
If you don’t have design paper, use construction paper or origami to create a brick-like texture.
Adding white construction paper to represent snow will enhance the atmosphere.
Next, cut construction paper according to a Santa Claus template.
It’s fun to recreate a flustered Santa who has fallen down the chimney, as shown in this video.
