Children's Christmas packaging for sweets do it yourself
It would seem that traditional candysets for children can be bought ready-made. This method has many advantages - a variety of treats are hidden in a smart box or bag. But there are cases when you need to make such packaging yourself. You want to please your child with an unusual gift, or maybe the baby is on a strict diet, and he is allowed only certain sweets? Then there are two options: put suitable sweets in a box from a ready-made gift or - what is much more interesting! - make New Year's packaging for candies yourself. I made a box using a ready-made template, increasing it by one and a half times, because the printer allows printing only in A4 format. I will tell and show how I enlarged the pattern by one and a half times, and then assembled a children's New Year's candy box and decorated it in a version for a girl (however, if you take other stickers and make the box not in red and white, but, for example, in blue and white, you will get a completely boyish version. So, first you need to print the pattern on an A4 sheet. This one (click on the photo to enlarge it):
Let's get started.
To make children's New Year's packaging with your own hands, you will need:
solid-color cardboard, thicker (I have -white); contrasting colored cardboard (I have red and gold); double-sided tape; holiday stickers; printed out box layout; PVA glue; glitter; gift wrapping tape; thread or wire for securing the wrapping tape; a craft knife or stationery knife (can be replaced with manicure scissors); scissors; ruler; pencil.
Christmas packaging for sweets do-it-yourself: master class
We print out our scan and transfer it tothick white cardboard with a ruler and a simple pencil, while increasing the size of each side by one and a half or two times - depending on what size New Year's packaging for sweets you need. Our children's New Year's packaging consists of two parts: the upper "tree" and the lower "trunk" - is a box that covers the hole in the "tree". Since the structure does not close very securely, later you will need to tie our tree with a gift ribbon. Let's start with the trunk-box. To make it in one and a half sizes relative to the scan, you will need one sheet of A4 cardboard.
We cut out the pattern along the perimeter using scissorsor a mock-up knife. We draw all the folds with a knitting needle or a non-writing pen from the back side - this is necessary so that the cardboard bends evenly and without kinks along the fold lines.
We cut the double-sided tape into small pieces and glue them to the gluing points of the box.
We assemble our box using double-sided tape.
Ready.
Let's start cutting out the "Christmas tree" itself.To do this, we cut out our printed pattern and transfer it to sheets of cardboard in a half-size. The whole tree will not fit on one A4 sheet, so we make it on two A4 sheets: each will have half of the pattern. From the first, we cut out such a figure (and work out the folds in the manner described above).
From the second sheet - the same figure, butwithout "wings" for gluing in the upper (pyramidal) part of the "tree". We attach double-sided tape to the gluing places and assemble our tree.
The New Year's candy packaging is ready - or rather, its blank. Now - the most interesting part: the decor.
Cut out 4 triangles from red cardboard, slightly smaller in size than the sides of the pyramid.
We decorate each of them in any way we like. For example, on one of them I cut out a silhouette of a Christmas tree with a craft knife:
And on all the others I attached stickers with my favorite fairies and New Year symbols.
We glue pieces of double-sided tape onto the triangles and then attach them to the pyramid.
Now let's take care of the box-trunk.From brown or golden cardboard, cut out 4 rectangles and a square slightly smaller in size than the bottom and sides of the box-trunk, and using double-sided tape, decorate the box with them.
This, in fact, could well be the end of it.stop… But if for your child, as for my daughter, the words "beautiful" and "shiny" are synonyms, there is nothing to be done: you will have to work with glitter, and this is perhaps the most labor-intensive part of the work. On the cut-out tree on the edge of the pyramid, we draw thick lines with glue - this will be tinsel.
Then we generously sprinkle the tree with red glitter.
And when the glue dries, brush off the excess glitter.
The tree is decorated to perfection. We decorate the corners of the "trunk". To do this, we also thickly coat them with glue and dip them in "golden" glitter.
Now cover all the white parts with a thick layer of glue and sprinkle them with silver glitter. Mentally prepare yourself for the fact that glitter will most likely be everywhere.
We wait until all the boxes are well dried. Then we fill them with the most delicious candies in the world. And don't forget about the surprise: it can be cute or stylish .
We close it and tie it with a gift ribbon,forming a lush bow on top. Our New Year's children's packaging for sweets is made by hand and is ready to give a lot of joy to the child who gets it.
