Paper crafts: fun favour boxes fubumedia

Hey lovely people! You know it’s Thursday right?  Yup, that means we’re back with another cracking DIY project for you today! Woop!

The lovely Fanni over at Fubumedia has been beavering away on this fun little idea to share with us today.  A cute and unique favour box, just big enough to squeeze a couple of your favourite treats into as a delicious thank you for your guests.

 As with all our projects, it’s pretty simple, all you need to do is print the free templates, and get sticking!

You will need:

1 x favour box template

1 x thank-you flag template

2 x sheets A4 card (you could use complimentary colours to add an extra bit of pizzazz when your guests open the box!)

A pair of sharp scissors

Pencil

Cocktail sticks or toothpicks

Ribbon to coordinate with your wedding colours

Method:

Dowload and print the templates, and cut out the favour box template.  Glue the two pieces of card back-to-back and then cut out the box shape using the template

Once you have the shape, fold all the little strips inwards, place your favours in the middle, and pinch all the strips together at the top before securing with a little bit of tape.  Cover the tape by tieing a pretty piece of ribbon in your wedding colours

Cut out the ‘thank-you’ banners, snipping one end in a ‘v’ shape to make a flag.  Roll the other end around a cocktail stick an secure with a bit of tape.  Gently push your flag into the top of your box…

and voila!  Cute little DIY favour boxes that your guests will love!

Gift presents: Kirigami box tutorial , kids craft ideas

I just love making kirigami boxes. This ancient art makes for beautiful paper crafts. Here I am using the Pion Design Studio of Memories collection. Actually, this entire project was made using ONE single sheet of 12x12 paper. The box measures about 2x2x3 inches. Half the sheet (2 - 6x6 inch pieces) for the box and the other half for the flower. I added a bit of lace and pearls (thank you Ivana for the pearls!) and it was done.

Gift presents: Kirigami box tutorial , kids craft ideas

STEP 1: You will need 2 square papers one for the top and one for the bottom of the box, scissors, adhesive and anything you wish to decorate the box with. Find the centre of your paper by aligning a ruler to the corners and marking in the middle of the side of the paper that will be on the inside). A 12x12 paper will make a 4 inch box and a 6x6 paper will make a 2 inch box.

 STEP 2: Fold in corners to the middle.

STEP 3: Open up 2 opposite corner and then fold in the remaining 2 sides over again to the middle.

STEP 4: Open it all up and repeat on the other 2 sides. You will then get a square creased (top of the box) in the middle of the paper and a smaller square pattern on the rest of the paper.

STEP 5: On two opposing sides, cut up to the middle box shape (along the crease).

STEP 6: Fold in the uncut sides down like this:

STEP 7: Fold up on the crease to make the side of your box and fold in the cut flaps to look like below. You can use a piece of tape to keep the flaps together.

STEP 8: Fold the remaining pieces over the taped together flaps.

STEP 9: Secure with adhesive. This is the top of the box.

STEP 10: Repeat the entire process with another sheet of paper for the bottom of the box.

STEP 11: Decorate and assemble. I made a water distressed flower with my sugarplum flower tutorial technique, using 8 layers of different shape and size flower punches.

I hope you give this folded box a try. This is a great, quick little project that took me under half an hour to complete with the decorating!

Recycling ideas: The casket of bamboo towel. kids craft ideas

I already post pictures of a talisman , which is based on mat. There was also a master class on wall panels of twill . It seems that this thing is universal and there is no limit to the imagination to use it.
The use of such boxes can be quite extensive, from hand crafted accessories, all kinds of needles, pins, buttons to jewelry. But I decided to make a gift box for money.

Recycling ideas:  The casket of bamboo towel. kids craft ideas


You will need:
- Bamboo Cloth 
- Cardboard (for bokovinok) 
- Fabric (preferably flexible) 
- Bands 
- Chinese coins 
- Buckle 
- Ruler 
- Pencil 
- Scissors 
- Thread a needle with 
- H glue gun and aznachenie Size Boxes
So, let's get to work. You must first decide for what purpose you use the box. This will depend on its size. For example, for handmade stuff needs a big box, so bamboo is better to use a napkin as a whole. For what a detail may need a tiny casket. I decided to make a casket for the money, so he measured the length of banknotes.
If necessary, mark up on the back of the bamboo napkin in pencil and cut off the excess with scissors.
    
Bokovinki Paper
Now let's get to work on bokovinkami. To do this you need to determine a desired height and width of the box. Drawing on cardboard bokovinki desired shape and cut four pieces (two per bokovinku, as they will double).
     
Textile finishing Inside the box, and bokovinok
Inside the box is decorated cloth. I took the stretchy fabric, cut out its not the size of napkins, and about 1 cm smaller at each end. Then sewed it on the back, stretching the fabric. So it is necessary to ensure that the fabric is not formed folds. If you have the fabric is not stretched, it is best to cut the size of pads and stick.
For bokovinok I cut parts out of cardboard the size of the tissue, also four pieces.
After you sew the fabric to the wrong side of the bamboo napkin wrapping a cloth to proceed with all the details bokovinok of cardboard (as shown in photo below).
 

Decorating Boxes braid
Getting started decorating the boxes. Podhodschey tape at hand was not so I used a white laundry gum.Incidentally, it came out pretty nice.
 
I pasted gum with a little hot glue pulling. Then glue the two halves of bokovinki box.
 
Assembling Boxes
Then we have the most important stage - collect a box of wipes and two bamboo bokovinok. First, glue hot glue on the base bokovinok vertically, as shown in the photo. Then lift the glue and the front of the napkin, then back to the vertical side bokovinke. You can also sew together all the details box.
The upper part of bokovinok can attach ribbons.
 
Clasp
It remains only to make the clasp. To do this, I taped a Chinese coin.
   
Then on top of the box, I taped the suspension of Chinese coins. Loop will serve as a clasp. You can use other fasteners such as Velcro, a magnet, hooks, etc.

That's what I got!
