Some people prefer practical gifts, some to make their soul happy, while others like the financial equivalent of attention. However, any New Year's gift requires colorful and bright packaging. Otherwise, what is the holiday atmosphere like?

Modern styles in New Year's packaging

You can wrap a gift both in the store and at home. At the same time, it is not necessary to have special skills. This is especially true if there are a lot of presents: it is much more economical to purchase a roll of wrapping paper and ribbon to decorate them beautifully for all family members and friends.

At the same time, you can fully demonstrate your creativity and imagination.

Red, green, gold and silver colors remain relevant for New Year's gift packaging. But you shouldn’t stop only at them. The color can be any if the ornament contains the symbols of the New Year.

Creative eco-style packaging made from plain brown paper and even newspapers look very interesting. The main element of such a composition is decoration. This could be an unusual bow, rough burlap, linen ribbon or natural materials.

As decorative elements you can use spruce or pine branches, cones, simple twine, branches with berries.

Check or stripe is also relevant.

Decor in Retro style looks very unusual; it gives the gift a touch of solidity.

And here . Pastel colors and soft shapes are used here.

You can use artificial materials for decoration; they can be purchased at the store. These are artificial berries, Christmas trees, flowers and branches.

Materials for scrapbooking will also come in handy - you can use paper cuttings and stamps with New Year's symbols.

You can decorate a gift and sign it by hanging a label like this on it.

You can make them yourself by downloading the patterns below.

When we give gifts, we primarily share positive, bright emotions and good mood. A beautifully packaged gift is perceived better by our aesthetic senses, automatically increasing the significance of the gift. In order for the gift to receive its holiday packaging, the site’s editors will tell you how to make original boxes with your own hands for the New Year.

And beautiful, and neat, and impressive

Why have various types of gift boxes become so popular? If you approach the presentation of gifts from the position of “it’s good even without packaging,” then it’s enough to imagine a picture of all the gifts lying under the tree in a big pile. And without the proper approach, it will be a real heap, besides, it’s simply not clear where whose gift is. To give a loved one special joy, you need to competently approach the issue of presenting a gift: don’t be lazy and prepare gift boxes for the New Year with your own hands.

What you need to make your own New Year's boxes

Depending on the expected result, a suitable material for packaging products is selected. Cardboard is best suited for this purpose: you can take white if decor is meant, colored, with a print, or use thick paper for scrapbooking.

There is an interesting way to turn ordinary cardboard into painted one. To do this, purchase a large New Year's napkin. Cling film is very carefully placed on the cardboard and a napkin is spread on top. On top of the napkin, through a sheet of A4 office paper, the cardboard is ironed with an iron at medium heat. Thanks to the cling film, the napkin will ideally stick to the cardboard, turning it into a colorful one.

Depending on the type of product, you may also need a box template, a ruler, a simple pencil, scissors, a satin ribbon or braid for ties.

Master classes, tips and instructions for making packaging boxes

In order not to get a crooked and incomprehensible “something”, but to make a real beautiful gift box with your own hands, it would be better to use the instructions and ready-made templates with suitable sizes.

How to make your own New Year's packaging in the shape of a spruce

A Christmas tree in the form of a box with a surprise inside, carefully made with your own hands, will serve as an excellent case for a New Year gift.

We print out the template, apply it to scrap paper or cardboard, and draw a barely noticeable line with a simple pencil.

It is better to use a thin satin ribbon as a tie.

Original snowflake box

To the one who first thought of developing a template for a delightful box with a voluminous a snowflake in the shape of a castle, a song of praise should be dedicated. A little painstaking work, and you can put a small gift in such a creative package.

Carefully iron each fold with a fingernail or a ruler.

Nuance! For such a box, you should not use very thick cardboard; it is best to use scrap paper.

Packaging in the form of a house

An interesting solution that can also be used as a Christmas tree decoration. If you make many of these small houses at once and hang them on the branches of a Christmas tree, then even after taking out the contents of the box, you will still be left with a beautiful pendant.

Gift in a cardboard bag

A variant of a “feminine” gift that can be truly decorated with suitable decor. The template is not complicated, so you can modify it somewhat by increasing it in size if the content is planned to be moderately weighty.

The printout is transferred to cardboard, the future handbag is decorated, and then assembled.

Bonbonniere box

Bonbonniere is a small beautiful box in which small sweets are offered. Why not play up a sweet gift with such grace?

Pyramid-shaped packaging

The box is notable for being easy to assemble and not requiring a drop of glue. It is better to take thick paper for scrapbooking, which itself looks fabulously beautiful.

Recommendations for making a box with a hexagon-shaped lid

Those who love clear and neat lines are recommended to give something packaged in a geometric shape. This type of packaging is most often used in everyday life after a holiday because of its convenience and spaciousness.

Square box for all occasions: simple New Year's cube packaging

The most precise geometric shape is also a good packaging container, so we’ll make a square, convenient box.

A square cardboard box can have a separate lid and bottom:

Round cardboard packaging

The round shape attracts many people, so you should not ignore the geometry of smooth lines. It will not be difficult to build such a box. It’s better to take thick cardboard, which you can then decorate in a New Year’s style.

To build a round product with a lid, they are guided by the fact that the diameter of the lid should be slightly larger than the diameter of the base. The height of the model can be any, but to get the ideal container for gifts, we measure the length of the base of the circle-bottom. This wide strip should have a number of “teeth” that will serve to glue the bottom and walls together. The lid is made according to a similar principle; to measure its side edge, measure the length of the base of the lid.

Candy shaped box for candies and other gifts

To make an original gift box with your own hands in the form of candy, there is a ready-made template. Since assembly is easy, you can make as many similar products as your heart desires.

How to beautifully pack a box in fabric or paper

If you don’t have time to build a beautiful box, this does not mean that you are deprived of the opportunity to aesthetically pack a gift.

We decorate the box with our own hands

Simplicity and conciseness are good, but, nevertheless, without intricate decor, the products do not look as impressive as we would like. The boxes are decorated with all kinds of materials: ribbons, lace, half beads, buttons, acrylic painting, embossing, stamps, ready-made bows and wooden carved miniatures.

You can always tie the box with a beautiful ribbon or twine, glue a small bell to it, or put a congratulatory New Year's stamp on it. Approach the creation process thoughtfully and with inspiration, this will help you make a masterpiece with your own hands, even from a simple box template.

Everyone loves to receive gifts for the New Year. Both children and adults.

And the gift begins with the packaging.

Even without knowing what kind of gift there is, we are already intrigued.

And if the design is also beautiful, then the heart begins to beat joyfully, even before seeing what’s inside.

You can come up with the simplest boxes.

Sometimes you just need to wrap a gift in pretty paper and tie it with a ribbon.

You can present a gift with the symbol of the upcoming New Year.

Or you can pack a gift in the form of a Christmas tree.

Master Class

And for holiday boxes and materials you will need nothing at all: a color printer or printer paper, preferably colored, thick paper or cardboard, scissors, glue and your imagination.

Great idea to make a box in the shape of a Christmas tree with your own hands. Such boxes are difficult to find on sale, but are easier to make yourself and decorate as you wish. There is an idea for a gift box.

First, we need to cut out such a template from cardboard for the box.

Here's what the already cut template looks like.

Now, you need to bend along the dotted lines, as in the photo

Glue the middle

and now, fold it as in the photo.

Here are the dimensions of our parts; you can make them larger or smaller if desired.

All that remains is to secure the top with a ribbon with a bow or make a beautiful flower out of the ribbon and tie the top of our gift box.

DIY Christmas tree box for a New Year's gift.

Wrapping a gift beautifully is a talent. A Christmas tree-shaped Christmas tree box will greatly facilitate your question: how to give a gift beautifully. Children will especially be pleased to receive a gift in such a Christmas tree.

Using the template shown in the photo below, we cut out the future Christmas tree box from cardboard. We turn it over with the colored side down (if the cardboard is colored on one side), and at the ends we make holes for the ribbon with a hole punch. Fold the box and tie it with a ribbon.

I got it here.

Another option for a Christmas tree box:

We cut out two halves from which we will fold the box. Note. they are different.

We fold them as shown in the photo.

To make a box in the shape of a Christmas tree, just take an A3 sheet of paper and draw a square on it using a ruler. Then draw elongated triangles on four sides and add even waves to make a connection along them.

There are four holes at the top, decorate with soft watercolors, glue on rhinestones or cover with sparkles, connect the edges, and the tops with a beautiful ribbon on which to hang a name. The final option is to place a gift inside and place it under the tree.

Photo schemes:

In preparation for the New Year, you can make original gift boxes in the form of trays. It’s both interesting and cheap in terms of money, and you can also attract children to handplay.

So, we need:

Double-sided cardboard
Lucky template
Ruler
Square
Scissors
Pencil
Rubber
Ribbon

Step 1

We take the Christmas tree template and draw it on cardboard, so that there are ears on the sides and so that our future box is symmetrical.

Step 2.

We attach our blank to the cardboard and trace it with a pencil. The lower part will be the bottom of the box.

Step 3.

At a right angle with a ruler and a square, we outline the template on one more side.

Step 4

As a result, you should end up with a pattern like this.

Step 5.

Carefully cut it out, erase the pencil with an eraser and glue the joints of the Christmas tree.

The end result should be a box like this. Which you can then decorate to your liking.

I would like to suggest making you such a simple and at the same time very interesting gift box in the form of a cute New Year’s box:

This box is made of green cardboard. All we need is to first draw the figure shown in the picture on the back of the cardboard, and then bend, glue and cut it, after placing the gift.

And here is another option for the box holder:

We also draw and cut out, all that remains is to glue it together, putting in the gift.

Here's what it looks like on paper:

We make gift wrapping in the shape of a Christmas tree from thick colored paper.

The proposed options are simple; even a less skilled person can master them.

The main thing is to first make an appropriate stencil on plain paper, according to which you can cut out the future packaging from wrapping paper. As wrapping paper, you can also use gift paper with New Year-themed pictures - it will be even more original.

Good luck in your work!

For those who don’t particularly want to strain themselves, the photo below offers a simpler option: fold the gifts in the shape of a Christmas tree and tie them with a beautiful ribbon.

The simplest, classic and unoriginal option: create a box that is familiar to everyone, the shape of which would repeat the silhouette of a Christmas tree, and not an abstract rectangle. Its appearance will be like this:

We take this stencil and cut out the tree itself from cardboard in 2 copies (the lid and bottom of our box):

Based on my experience in creating similar crafts, upon completion of the work, the box needs to be decorated with wrapping paper and ribbon to give it a decent look and disguise all the flaws.

DIY corrugated cardboard box
Another New Year's idea is a gift box made of colored corrugated cardboard. To make it, you need to cut out the base according to the special template given in the article. And of course you can decorate the box to your liking. Such a box, especially if made in green, is shaped like a Christmas tree - the most important New Year's symbol. And even the most modest gift in such a box will bring warmth and a sea of joyful smiles.

To make such a box for New Year's gifts, you will need colored corrugated cardboard, preferably green, since this box will symbolize the main attribute of the New Year - a green Christmas tree. Corrugated cardboard is now sold in many office supply stores, and ribbons and decorations can now be bought everywhere, so there should be no problems with materials.

First you need to make a template on plain paper using the following diagram.

Next, transfer the diagram onto cardboard and cut it out along the solid black lines marked on the diagram. Using a thin, blunt object (such as a non-writing ballpoint pen) and a ruler, press along the dotted lines marked on the diagram. This is necessary to ensure that the folds of the box are even and neat.

Carefully bend the cut out box template along the pressed lines.

Place a gift in the middle. Now, one by one, begin to assemble the edges of the box as shown in the following photos. You can use glue or double-sided tape, or you can leave the box unsealed, just tie it with tape. Please note that the seam allowances left must be all inside.

Having aligned all four edges of the box at the top center, we begin tying the bow. This is done very simply, look carefully at the following photos.

You can decorate the box with any gold, silver, or red decorations. You can add snowflakes or small Christmas balls.

You can make your own gift boxes from colored paper (or a suitable design printed on a printer) and cardboard or cardboard with a New Year’s print already applied. Use New Year's symbols to decorate your gift - Christmas trees, snowflakes, stars, sparkles, bows and more. Then the gift wrapping will be bright and elegant.

Gift box “Snowflake”

An original detail is a snowflake on top of the gift box. Making such packaging with your own hands will not be at all difficult.

You will need:

">cardboard or thick paper;

">stationery knife;

scissors;

glue.

Print out the box template and cut it out with scissors.

Transfer the diagram onto cardboard. Mark the fold lines indicated in the figure.

Using the back of a utility knife, draw along the fold lines - this will allow you to bend the cardboard more accurately.

Glue the corners of your box by gluing the triangle protrusions to the sides of the “snowflake”.

When the glue has dried, close the finished box, placing one snowflake element on top of another.

Decor ideas forDIY gift box

If the plain white color of a gift box seems boring or too plain to you, decorate the packaging with glitter. To do this, coat the snowflake with glue (a glue stick is best for this) and sprinkle generously with glitter. After 5-10 minutes, blow off any excess glitter.

Rhinestones on a sticky base are also perfect for decorating the box. Decorate the box to your liking by simply gluing rhinestones onto cardboard.

Instead of regular white cardstock, use silver or gold colored cardstock.

Template for the Christmas tree box

DIY triangular Christmas tree box

This packaging represents the main symbol of the holiday - the New Year tree - sparkling and elegant!

For such a gift box, you can not print the template on a printer, but draw it yourself using our measurements.

You will need:

decorative corrugated cardboard (green);

gift ribbon (golden);

scissors or stationery knife;

rhinestones, stars, ribbon decorations, etc. - in general, everything you can decorate a gift box with.

Draw a template on plain paper.

Transfer it to cardboard and cut it out.

Gently press the dotted lines for the fold using a thin, non-sharp object (such as a knitting needle or a non-writing pen).

Fold the sides of the box along the resulting dotted line.

Place your gift in the center and gather the edges of the box with the seams facing inward.

Once all four edges are aligned, tie the ribbon around the gift wrap as follows: For the bow, fold the ribbon in half not once, but twice, and only then tie it into a knot.

Straighten the ribbons onto the bow and attach a decoration of your choice on top. These can be red or gold beads, decorative stars, etc.
