Mini cardboard box

If you are planning to give someone a small souvenir, then take care of its packaging. A beautiful box looks much more presentable than a paper or cellophane wrapper. Moreover, it is very easy to make a box yourself. Technique origami allows you to make packaging that does not need to be sealed with glue.
Prepare the following components:
- two sheets of not too thick cardboard;
- ruler;
- scissors;
- pen or pencil.

It is better to use two contrasting shades of adjacent colors. For example, blue and purple. 2 squares should be cut out of them. The purple square should be 1 cm smaller than the blue one.

Expand everything to its original state and notice that the large square is completely divided into small squares and triangles. Cut two opposite corners so that there are 4 small squares left in the center and two slits on each side.

You can decorate the box with a satin ribbon bow or tie a ribbon around the entire perimeter so that the birthday boy will also unpack it with interest. It would be appropriate to put a piece of paper inside with your wishes.
If you take larger cardboard, the box will come out larger. And thick paper, which is used in scrapbooking, will allow you to create a bright box with a cheerful print.
