Who doesn't love beautiful things? They delight the eye, cheer up. But the creative mess, when small things are scattered around the room, may not be to everyone's liking. Finding a suitable container for storing small items is not a problem, you can take a simple box. But the same box can be beautifully decorated, then it will become not only a storage container, but also a worthy interior decoration.
Instructions
Step 1
Find the right box for your size. This can be a milk or juice bag for storing writing utensils, or a larger cardboard box if you want to make a stand for storing discs. Even if you want to make a simple gift wrap, do not forget that it must be of the appropriate size.
Step 2
Use any materials at hand as a background. Cover the box with magazine clippings, cloth, fur, foil, colored paper. You can get a stylish background by matching the pages of an old newspaper. You can also paint the surface of the box with brushes or spray paint. Use a glue that will firmly hold the background paper.
Step 3
Draw out the cut lines of the paper (or other materials) carefully - fold them inward so as not to disturb the visual appeal of the box. You can additionally secure the edges with tape or a stapler.
Step 4
On the finished background image, you can attach seashells, ribbons, rhinestones or any other material that you like. Fur figures, various ribbons and bows - anything that comes to mind can be brought to life. Make sure that all decorative elements are firmly attached.
Step 5
Be careful. Smooth the pasted surfaces with a soft cloth, wipe off excess glue with a dry cloth, do not work with dirty hands (stained with paint or glue), to pick up very small parts, use tweezers.
Step 6
If you want to make the box yourself, without using a ready-made base, choose durable cardboard for work, but make sure that it is also pliable at the same time, as it will have to be bent.
Step 7
Make a flat pattern, that is, draw how the unfolded box should look like, and cut the workpiece along the contour. Shape it, fold it in the right places, and secure the loose edges with glue or staples.
Step 8
If the dimensions allow, you can apply any image to the surface of the future box using a printer, but for this it will be necessary to correctly align the drawing with the unfolded texture. If the dimensions do not allow it, proceed in the same way as described in step # 2, 3 and 4.
