We will need


Let's get started.
Using the pattern below, we draw the outline of the box and the lid. Note that the lid should be a couple of millimeters larger than the box itself.

We will need the disk to draw curves. You can, of course, use a compass, but this method is much easier and faster.

Cut out the box, as well as four squares of colored paper measuring approximately 7.8 x 7.8 cm.

Glue them to the sides of the future box.

Draw a snowflake on a small piece of cardboard. Just don’t place it at the very edge - this will create inconvenience in the future.

Use a knife to cut out the silhouette of a snowflake.

Now, using the stencil we made, white gouache and a sponge, we decorate the box.

You can add “snow” with a toothbrush. To do this, you just need to put white gouache on a brush moistened with a drop of water and “spray” the paint.Next, we cut out the lid of the box, glue it and put everything together. There is no need to glue the box itself, just put on the lid.

Using the same sponge and white gouache, we will decorate the cones.

We tie the box with a ribbon and attach the pine cones to the lid. So your small but cute gift wrapping is ready!

    I’ve been eyeing boxes like these in supermarkets for a long time, but I didn’t think that it was possible to make a product just as good from scrap materials at home. You can put a small gift in such a box, although it itself is a wonderful decoration for the room.
