Today we invite you to create an original gift box in the form of candy. In this craft you can pack various candies and other small gifts. The technique for creating this craft is quite simple, and the materials for its creation will probably be found in every home.
So, to make a candy box, let’s prepare some materials:
Colored, wrapping or design paper to create the base of the craft;
- a sheet of cardboard;
- ruler;
- pencil and marker of any color;
- glue stick or hot glue;
- scissors;
- thin floral tape.
Step 1
You need to create a candy template on a sheet of cardboard. First we draw four wide stripes, then we draw diamonds on the sides.
There is such a diagram
The shape of the candy depends on the number of stripes; the more you make, the more corners your box will acquire.
Step 2
We cut out the created template along the contour. We leave a small strip at the bottom for gluing the craft.
The box template is ready! For work, you can use a small stationery knife.
Step 4
Now we apply the cut out template to the back of the wrapping paper. With a simple pencil duplicate the outline of the template.
Then we finish drawing all the necessary lines.
Step 5
We cut the workpiece along the outer contour. Then we bend it along the lines and cut through the middle of the diamonds.
Then we bend the lines in the opposite direction, thoroughly smoothing all the main lines with a ruler or fingers.
Step 7
Now we squeeze its ends towards the center of the candy to form small fold lines.
Step 8
Cut the prepared floral ribbon into two even parts.
Step 9
We pull out the ends of the ribbons with blades and scissors.
That's all, the paper candy box is ready!
To pack a gift in a box, you just need to untie the ribbon on either side. To create large boxes, we recommend using very thick paper so that the craft holds its original shape well!
