The master class will teach you how to make a New Year's craft - a box for a sweet gift - Winter Lantern
The forest is majestic and beautiful at all times of the year.But in winter, covered with a snow-white blanket of silence, it evokes a feeling of wonderful calm and mystery. And a little of this mystery is reflected in this box, made in the shape of a lantern.
To make it, you should prepare the following materials and tools.
- sheet semi-cardboard (180 g / m2) light beige color,
- a leaf of orange color,
- scissors and a knife,
- punch of snowflakes,
- double-sided adhesive tape and glue-pencil,
- silk ribbon of beige or white color.
We print the box template on cardboard and orange paper.
Using a sharp craft knife, cut out the inner silhouettes of trees, animals and snowflakes on the beige blank. Cut out the orange part only along the perimeter.
We trim the workpiece along the edges, removing the excess.We make a creasing (pressing) of paper along the bottom and side lines. You can do this with a pen with a used rod. We glue the sides with double-sided tape. We leave the top free.
We measure the size of the side of the lantern and cut out a square for the bottom. We glue the bottom also with double-sided tape. The base of the box is ready.
The sides of our box resemble pictures from forest life. Here is a bunny jumping between the fir trees.
And this is the fox going hunting.
The sensitive elk listens attentively to the rustling sounds of the forest.
A family of deer takes a walk.
Now let's start decorating our forestlantern. It is better to cut the orange paper blank into 4 parts (on the sides of the box) and glue it separately. This could have been done before gluing the lantern itself.
We punch out snowflakes in white and blue colors and glue them on all sides of the box.
We thread a silk ribbon through the slits made at the top of the box and tie a bow.
Now the New Year's box in the form of a forest lantern is ready! It turned out to be quite tall and roomy. A wonderful "house" for sweet gifts!
Happy upcoming holidays!
