It is much more pleasant to receive gifts if they have a good design, so you should take care of beautiful packaging in advance. In addition, if it is made with your own hands, it will give you the opportunity to put a piece of your soul into it.
Instructions
Step 1
If you have little time to pack a soft toy, you can use wrapping paper. Place the toy in the middle of the sheet, lift the edges of the paper, gather them nicely and tie them with a ribbon or bow. Or, if you have the opportunity, you can use a beautiful fabric instead of paper (the shape of the cut should be square), which you can decorate with lace, ribbons, beads or beads to your liking.
Step 2
Also, by the size of the toy, you can make various options for boxes. For example, you can make a semi-open box with an oilcloth window. To make it, measure the height, width and depth of the toy. Then, based on these data, make a box out of thick cardboard.
Step 3
On the seamy side of the lid, draw the outline of the future window, the shape of which depends solely on the shape of the soft toy and on your wishes. For example, it can be an oval or rectangle, but you can give a window and other shapes - make it in the form of a heart, a star or a contour (this does not have to be the contour of the toy itself, but, for example, you can make the contour of an angel or a toy car). After that, the drawn figure must be cut out with a paper knife. And finally, glue the window with a thick oilcloth from the seamy side of the lid.
Step 4
Next, you can move on to decorating the box. So, for example, you can decorate it with stickers or appliques, or tie it with a wide ribbon and tie a bow to it. A gift can also look very exquisite if you tie a ribbon with a gift box, and instead of a bow you fix a flower or a small floral arrangement.
Step 5
If you do not want the packaging to be open, you can make a closed one for the soft toy. For example, it can be a box made of separate pieces cut out of cardboard. Make a bottom, two sides along its width, one along its length and one along its length + according to the dimensions of the required cover. Glue each of these parts with wrapping paper, and then glue them together. In this case, as a tie, you can glue along a piece of tape between the bottom of the box and its front side, as well as from the wrong side of the lid.
