You can make holiday packaging with your own hands, for example, you can take the idea from the master classes offered here with step-by-step photos, as well as videos from YouTube. Prepare gift paper, ribbon and follow the selected instructions on how to properly wrap a gift.

Classic packaging

In this way, you can wrap an ordinary box in beautiful paper, and then add a spectacular decorative element from the same packaging material. Now we have a New Year's gift, so the design is appropriate, but this decor option is suitable for any holiday.

wrapping paper;
scissors;
transparent tape;
golden ribbon;
glue.

This method is convenient for packing a gift that initially has a box with smooth edges. Therefore, at the first stage we pack as usual. To do this, cut off the required piece of wrapping paper.

We keep transparent tape on hand, we will need it at this stage. First, we wrap our gift on one side with wrapping paper and secure it in two places with transparent tape.

After this, we will close the end sides of our gift. To do this, first carefully bend one side down, following the contours of the box, as shown in the photo:

We form a triangle from the remaining part of the wrapping paper, folding the corners on the sides.

Now we bend the top of this triangle, after which we bend it to the end of the package. We take transparent tape and fix it well with it.

We repeat these steps from the other end of our box.

The decorative element of our packaging will be a fan made of the same paper. Therefore, we prepare a piece of wrapping paper to create it. It all depends on how we position this fan. We decided to position it along the width of the box. Therefore, we cut out the paper of the appropriate size.

Now we fold it like an accordion.

We bend this “accordion” in half.

We glue it in the middle, and make the edges of the resulting “accordion” semicircular using scissors. At the same time, we make sure that the overall size of the fan matches the width of our box.

The decorative element is ready, let's proceed to the final stage of packaging. Take a golden ribbon and tie it around the box.

We form a bow.

Now immediately behind the bow we fix the fan with glue.

Our gift wrapping is ready.

Packaging with folds

In this master class we will demonstrate one of the gift wrapping options. At first glance, it does not differ from the usual one, but at the same time it has one twist.

To create such packaging we prepared:

wrapping paper;
scissors;
transparent tape;
thin double-sided tape;
golden ribbon.

First, prepare a sheet of paper of the required size. In this case, you should focus on regular packaging, but make an increase of approximately 50% in the direction in which the folds will form. We lay the sheet pattern down and make the first small fold.

Then we will make blanks for future folds. To do this, fold the paper 2.5 cm.

And we repeat this 4 more times. In total, in this case we will have blanks for five folds. If desired, they can be made larger or smaller. You can also vary the width of the folds.

Unfold the packing slip face up. We see 5 fold lines.

Focusing on them, we will form folds. Carefully grab the first fold at the edge and in its place form a shallow (about 1 cm) fold.

Now they need to be secured. To do this, turn the sheet over to the wrong side, where we secure the folds in several places with transparent tape.

Then we carefully begin to fold the end sides of the package.

Using transparent tape, secure one corner.

Then we bend the second corner with folds.

Using the same principle, we secure the other end of the package.

Now all that remains is to tie the gift with a ribbon.

We fasten it diagonally and tie the ends with a bow. Our gift is ready to be presented.

However, the paper for packaging can be the most ordinary, plain, but by wrapping your gift box in it, you can decorate it to your taste. See examples in this video on how to decorate a gift in style:

How to make a packaging bag out of paper

In this master class we will show a packaging option when the gift does not have a clear shape. For example, you need to pack something small beautifully, then check out this option for creating a bag using the origami technique.

To make such a packaging bag we took:

square sheet of paper;
scissors;
hole puncher;
golden braid.

In our case, we use a small square of paper 21 x 21 cm, but such a bag can be made from wrapping paper of any size. First, fold the prepared square sheet in half.

Then you need to perform diagonal addition.

After this, fold the square along the other diagonal.

The resulting folds on our workpiece allow it to be folded in the form of a double triangle.

Now we will begin to form our packaging bag itself. To do this, place the triangle with the base up, take the right corner of the top layer and bend it to the left as follows.

Then we bend it back, aligning the right side.

We do the same with the left corner of the top layer; it needs to be bent to the right.

Then we bend it in the opposite direction, not forgetting to align the left edge.

We bend the upper corners inward.

We turn the packaging over and do the same with the right and left corners.

We tuck the upper protruding corners inward.

Now let's form the bottom of our packaging bag. To do this, bend the bottom corner up.

After this, carefully form the bottom, which should be square.

We should have such a blank for packaging.

We thread golden braid through these holes.

Don’t forget to remove the gift first and then tie the ribbon with a bow.

Our paper packaging bag is ready.

Packaging for sweet New Year's gifts. Original packaging with quilling elements.

This master class consists of two main parts: making the box and the design, which is made using the quilling technique. You can put sweets in such a box and give them to children.

You will need:

Thick paper

Round plate or CD (any round object) - the larger the circle you have, the larger the package.

Simple pencil

Scissors

Creasing tool (or something similar)

Bright ribbon

Paper strips for quilling (width approximately 0.5 cm and length 60 cm)

PVA glue

Quilling tool (can be replaced with a toothpick)

Glitter or something similar

1. Making a box

1.1 Prepare a sheet of thick paper and draw a circle on it. Draw two perpendicular diameters through the center of the circle.

1.2 Now through the indicated points A and B you need to draw another circle. In the new circle you also need to draw perpendicular diameters (see picture).

1.3 Use a plate or disk and a creasing tool to trace, cut, and fold the paper along the contours.

1.4 Cut out the entire shape and bend along the curves.

1.5 Start folding the box.

2. We arrange the packaging

2.1 Using the quilling technique you need to make a bump. You will need half a brown paper strip and a third light brown. These strips need to be glued together.

2.2 For a cone you need to make a lot of scales - in this example from 18. This means that you need to make 18 strips as in paragraph 2.1. Start twisting the strips, starting with the one that is light brown.

2.3 Once you have a roll, you need to release it until its diameter is about 2 cm.

2.4 Make an “eye” shape from the roll (see picture). You've got a scale.

2.5 The middle of each scale needs to be squeezed out and immediately greased well from the inside with PVA glue. This way you will fix the volumetric part. Let the glue dry.

2.6 Glue 3 others around one scale. Next, glue the remaining scales in rows to form a cone.

2.7 To make a hat for a pine cone, you need to prepare three paper strips and glue them into one long strip. This long strip now needs to be rolled into a roll.

2.8 Thread a thread with a small loop through the middle.

2.9 Shape the roll into a cone and coat well with glue. Let the glue dry.

2.10 Glue the cap onto the pine cone and you can decorate the piece with liquid glitter that imitates snow.

All that remains is to put all the details together. Place a gift in the package and tie it with a bright ribbon. Hang the pine cone on the loop. You can add a couple of artificial fir branches.
