Content ideas

Magic box is an unusual postcard and, oddly enough, absolutely universal! It is perfect for small gifts. Here are some good ideas.
1. The most ordinary money, which is so often given to everyone around, will look much more interesting if it is rolled up in the form of a scroll, tied with a satin ribbon and placed inside such a postcard, surrounded by a variety of three-dimensional decor - flowers, butterflies, rhinestones, and inside, on the walls , write your wishes and leave signatures as a keepsake. In the master class at the end of the article you will find a description of how you can quickly and beautifully make a money mount inside.

2. Such packaging is ideal for gift certificates of various salons and shops. You can attach it to the bottom in exactly the same way as money. If the card is hard, then you can make an envelope-pocket for it at the bottom or on one of the side walls.
3. Ornaments or other jewelry will look just great in a magic box and will surely become a real surprise for the gift recipient. You can attach a paper cake with a removable lid to the bottom, or simply build a small pillow covered with velvet with your own hands.
4. A CD or flash drives are also nice to put in such a beautiful postcard. For disks, a pocket is most often made on the side wall using scrapbooking paper. In the future, in such a package it will be convenient not only to give, but also to store any important and memorable little things.

Decor themed boxes for different holidays

Magic box can be made for any holiday and even without it. You can make such a thing with your own hands and give it as a small sign of attention without a reason at all, but just like that, for Have a good mood. For example, decorate the sidewalls inside with bags of different tea or coffee, place a cupcake in the center and present it to a friend or work colleague before starting a working day.
If another important date is on the nose, and you are painfully looking for the right gift, then here are some thematic ideas for different holidays that can inspire you to make a festive box with your own hands.

For a birthday

The most traditional holiday for such gifts. Even if you just give money inside, you can beat the idea itself in such simple ways:
- place a photo of the birthday person in the center, and write wishes for memory on the side walls;
- make the box “multi-walled”, that is, glue more walls inside, only 5 mm. narrower, and stick photos on each side, united by one idea (for example, “smiles of all friends” or “ best photos this year"), you get a real mini-album;

- if there are no photos, you can simply place inside a decorative composition of butterflies or flowers on springs that will jump out when opened.

New Year's

Winter-colored paper, Christmas pictures, blue or red stamp ink, tinsel decorations, confetti and small Christmas decorations - all this will look cute and harmonious.
Another idea is to make a small box (in the master class, a diagram is given for a 10x10 format, but here you need to take a size of 5x5 cm, no more), put a candy inside, tie a satin ribbon on the outside and hang it on a Christmas tree as a toy. Any child will be sincerely delighted to find a favorite treat inside the surprise.
Also, the magic box can be an excellent packaging for a Christmas tree toy. self made, for example, a painted glass ball or a bell hidden under a lid inside the box.

Wedding

Ideal and always appropriate packaging for a wedding gift, if you decide to give money. A wedding magic box will help you add a hand-made element to your usual gift and stand out in the crowd of guests. To perform it according to the master class below, take cardboard with a delicate decor, pastel colors, prepare lace and paper or fabric flowers in light shades. All this is perfectly combined with the theme of the holiday.

Easter

Magic box will be the perfect packaging for any Easter souvenir. In order to place a painted testicle inside, you can line the bottom with sisal or paper shavings. If you want to put a cake inside, the bottom and walls must be laid with baking paper.
You can decorate the walls with decorative stickers, pictures with painted chickens, thematic inscriptions. There is a whole collection of images of pre-revolutionary Easter cards that are perfect for such decor.

Manufacturing instructions

Materials for the master class.
1. Cardboard with a density of at least 180g:
- sheet 30x30cm. - for the main template,
- sheet 15x15cm. - for the lid.
2. Paper for scrapbooking 30x30cm. - at least 2 sheets (needed for decoration)
3. Decorative materials - three-dimensional flowers, ribbons, beads, etc.
4. Scrap tools - edge and corner punches, if available, gold or bronze acrylic paint or an ink pad for tinting paper cuts.
5. Scissors, glue stick, pencil with a ruler and an eraser.

The box can be made in any size, it is only important to make a pattern correctly. In this master class, we will take the size 10x10x10 cm.
1. We draw a sheet of 30x30cm. into 9 squares with a side of 10cm. We press lightly with a pencil, then all the lines will be erased.
2. Cut four corner squares from the workpiece. We draw along the remaining pencil lines with a creasing stick or any other convenient tool (I use a knitting needle).

3. We remove all traces of the pencil and paste the four remaining squares on the side walls of the box inside, stepping back 1-2 mm. from the fold lines so as not to touch them. Now the walls are reinforced and will look stronger than ordinary thin cardboard.
Advice. It is better to glue all the details with a glue stick, because PVA cardboard can warp.
4. We take scrapbooking paper and cut out 4 squares with a side of 9 cm from it to decorate the outside of the side walls and 4 more squares to decorate the inside. If the paper is double-sided, then it is most convenient to take 4 squares on one side and 4 on the other.
5. We tint each side of each square with a stamp pad or acrylic paint. In each square, we cut out one figured corner with the help of a Martha Stewart figured hole punch and glue all the squares in their places on the front and inside of the box.


6. At the bottom of our postcard, we will build a mount for a cash gift using paper lace. Cut out a strip of scrapbooking paper, working both sides with an edge hole punch, and glue its ends to the bottom of the card. Now you can put banknotes rolled up there.
7. Let's move on to the second part of our master class - making the lid. For her, you need a square of cardboard measuring 14.2x14.2 cm. 2 mm. needed for a margin so that the card closes neatly and evenly. We take a ruler and draw lines at a distance of 2 cm. from each side.


8. We cut 2 cm from both sides along the marked lines as shown in the photo. This will be needed in order to glue the sides of the cover. All fold lines must be punched so that they bend evenly.
9. To decorate the lid, cut out 2 squares of scrapbooking paper 9x9 cm: glue one inside, the second on the top of the lid. In addition, we cut out 4 rectangles from the same paper 9x1.5 cm. and glue them on the sides of our cover. Of course, do not forget to tint the edges of all parts before gluing. This will give depth and texture to the details.


10. Glue the sides of the lid. After drying, we put the lid on the box and try on how it sits. Everything is fine.
11. It remains to decorate our postcard with voluminous decor and you can give it! Flowers can be made from any suitable cardboard: cut them out according to the template with a clerical knife and cut them out with a hole punch. To make them look voluminous, the edges of all the petals need to be twisted with a knitting needle or a toothpick outwards. Pens can draw veins on the leaves or stamens. Toning the edges of the petals in the selected color scheme will enhance the effect of volume and make the decor an integral part of the overall composition. Flowers for postcards can also be made using fabric or ribbons.
The master class on making a box with a surprise with your own hands is completed. Now you can enjoy the result of your work and look forward to the pleasant moment of presenting such an original gift.

Gifts are different: big and small, serious and humorous, expensive and symbolic. But almost every gift needs wrapping. It allows you to add mystery to the moment of giving, the first impression of the gift depends on it, which means that it should be bright and memorable.

I offer a master class on making a DIY Magic Box gift box. Magic box or a magic box will be a great addition to a gift, whether it be jewelry, cash, souvenir, perfume and much more. The box combines not only the function of storage, but also the function of a postcard, because inside it are warm words and wishes. But first things first.

To work, you will need the following materials:

- thick watercolor paper (cardboard),
- square pieces of scrap paper - 5 pcs.,
- rhinestones on an adhesive basis,
- 1 large brads (button),
- satin ribbon 2 cm wide, 15 cm long,
- fabric flowers
- paper flowers
- stamens of several shades,
- Printed on paper for watercolor Wordart (inscriptions at your discretion),
- contour stickers,
- double sided tape,
- glue "Moment",
- scissors,
- stationery knife,
- ruler,
- knitting needle.

How to make a DIY Magic Box

First you need to decide on the size of the box, it depends on the size of the gift. I will make a box 9x9 cm. Accordingly, from paper for watercolor I will make a square blank measuring 27x27 cm. Using a ruler and a knitting needle (you can use any sharp, thin object), you need to divide the square into 9 identical parts.

Now you need to cut off the extra parts, i.e. corner pieces to end up with a cross. If we bend the four parts that we have left to the center, we will get a model of the future box.

Let's take a lid for the box. To do this, you need to cut out a square of watercolor paper measuring 13x13 cm (based on: 9 + 2 + 2, where 9 cm is the size of the bottom of the box, 2 cm is the height of the lid). Using a ruler and knitting needles, draw, as shown in the photo.

Fold the edges towards the center. You can cut off the corners, as in the photo, so that later it would be more convenient to glue the cover. Having smeared the corners with glue, we form a lid.

From scrap paper of any shade, we cut out 5 squares measuring 8x8 cm. Four of them will be used to decorate the sides of the box, one to decorate the lid. Using double-sided tape, carefully glue the squares to the outside of the Magic box and onto its lid.




Let's put the lid aside and start decorating the inside of the box. To do this, we need glue-based rhinestones and fabric flowers.




Their number can be different, depending on your desire and taste. On average, you need 25-30 flowers with a diameter of 1.5 cm and the same number of rhinestones. We glue the flowers to the bottom of the magic box with Moment glue and make the centers of the flowers from rhinestones.

Let's move on to the lid. We will decorate it with a paper flower, satin ribbon and stamens. Satin ribbon can be omitted and limited to a large flower. I glued the tape in the middle of the lid, hiding the ends of the tape under the lid.

Now we take stamens, brads and a flower. With the help of brads, we attach the flower and stamens to the lid.




The lid is ready!

We decorate the outer sides of the box with contour stickers. I decorated the magic box with butterflies and flowers.




Only the inside of the box remains, which we will also decorate in a peculiar way. To make the box remind you of the holiday for a long time, we will glue beautiful wishes inside it. To do this, on white watercolor paper, you need to print Wordart (these are words or phrases written in a beautiful font), you can download it on the Internet.

Our magic box magic box is ready.

Hello, friends!

I think everyone who was even the least interested in scrapbooking paid attention to intricate square boxes with a lid and folding walls, called magic box (in Russian - a magic box or in a borrowed version - magic box, magic box). They are very laconic on the outside, but as soon as the lid is removed, a truly miraculous transformation takes place, the shape changes, and bright, meaningful, and sometimes almost fabulous pictures open up to the eye - with blooming flowers, flying butterflies - pictures. Such an unexpected contrast causes a real explosion of emotions. It is no coincidence that many craftswomen have their own variations of such boxes with a surprise in their creative arsenal.

And today I want to bring to your attention a master class on creating a magic box ( magic box) with fluttering butterflies, which was prepared for us by Vita Ermakova.

Vita's original works are well known in the Land of Masters. Some of her creations have also been presented on our website (in this workshop) and in e-book"27 Ways to Confess Your Love".

The new master class turned out to be quite voluminous, so I had to break it into 2 parts. But on the other hand, you can see how to make a magic box, as they say, “from and to”. At the same time, due to the abundance of practical techniques and tricks, this MK, I am sure, will be useful to many beginners in scrapbooking.

Materials and tools:

- cutting mat and soft embossing mat;

- a dummy or stationery knife, scissors, a ruler, an embossing tool, tweezers;

- paper: white whatman paper 190-240 g/m², colored design paper 160-240 g/m², watercolor textured paper 160-250 g/m², scrapbooking paper;

- scrapbooking stamps and ink, ink pad;

- foam sponge;

— for embossing: transparent and gold-colored powder, transparent embossing ink (or PVA glue), embossing hair dryer (or iron);

- double-sided tape and foam tape;

- hole punches (clerical, edges and curly);

- glue gun;

- decorative elements: ribbon, half beads (or liquid pearls);

- unnecessary plastic packaging (for example, from headphones).

Do not be afraid of this abundance :) - many materials and tools are easily available, something you can do with your own hands. In addition, you can always, using the ideas presented in the master class, come up with and implement your own version of the magic box, with your own design.

To simplify the creation of box details, a set of templates has been created, which can be downloaded here:

The file also contains templates for cutting out individual decorative elements (fence and twigs).

Master Class:

magic box (magic-box) with fluttering butterflies

1. Preparing the base and lid of the magic box.

Let's start by making the base and cover reamers. Thick Whatman paper is used here (but variations are possible depending on the idea and what is available). We print the templates, then cut, crease and bend the parts. The base consists of 3 parts, glue them (using glue or double-sided tape), as shown in the photo.

Next, we cut out from colored thick paper (in this case, pink is chosen) cards for decorating magic box surfaces: 8 pieces with dimensions 72 × 97 mm (for the side walls of the base), 4 pieces 22 × 74 mm (for the side walls of the lid), 2 pieces 75×75 mm (for the upper surface of the cover and the inner bottom of the base). This can also be done by printing the appropriate templates.

The light green color looks very nice on a pink background, so the outer cards will be decorated in this color. To do this, you will need scrapbooking dies and stamp ink.

When creating a pattern, you can make several prints of different parts of the stamp on the card (see the photo below). But before that, it is advisable to practice on a rough card cut out of plain office paper in order to avoid mistakes and get the best result.

For stamped cards, we tint the edges. You can do this with a foam sponge or just a piece of foam rubber.

Similarly, we process the card for the upper surface of the lid.

You can choose vignettes for the sides of the lid. We also stamp and tint.

Now let's select a stamp for cards that will be used to decorate the inner surfaces of the base of the magic box. In this case, the choice fell on a stamp with congratulatory inscriptions in different languages ​​and rich pink ink.

First, the imprint was made in the center of the card diagonally, and then in the corners. Then the card was tinted around the edges.

We return again to the square card for the cover. We glue all its edges and the middle from the wrong side with strips of double-sided tape. We peel off the protective paper layer in the center completely, and only partially along the edges - this is in order not to tear off the card several times if it suddenly sticks crookedly. They attached a card without pressing it tightly, tried it on - and you can remove the remaining protective papers.

We glue the sidewalls, taking into account the fact that there should be a distance of 1.5 mm from the fold lines.

After that, you can assemble the cover. We glue the side walls with double-sided tape.

We glue the walls of the base of the magic box with prepared cards from the outside and inside.

This is what our magic box will look like when assembled.

But this is still just the outer shell. All the "magic" of such a box lies in the interior decoration. And we are approaching the most interesting and informative stages.

2. Making paper butterflies decorated using embossing technique.

Generally embossing(from English. embossing- embossing) is a technique for creating a three-dimensional pattern. There are two varieties - dry (stamping with stencils) and wet (it is also called hot) embossing.

For the design of paper butterflies, we will use the second option. I must say that the use of wet embossing “in accordance with all the rules” requires the availability of special materials and tools: embossing powder, a special stamp pad with transparent ink, and an embossing dryer. However, there are some tricks that allow you to replace individual ingredients with improvised means and get the result no worse. The only thing from this list that you will definitely need is embossing powder.

In this particular case, the transparent powder "WOW!" was used. This is what the branded jar looks like:

The role of the transparent ink is to adhere the powder to the surface to be treated. With this ink, the paper darkens several tones. And when the powder melts, a beautiful glossy effect is obtained.

If you do not have transparent ink, you can use ordinary PVA glue (it is known to become transparent when it dries). Let's take a closer look at this method.

So, we apply PVA glue on a flat and smooth surface (for example, a piece of plastic or a plastic file) and blot the foam sponge thoroughly.

Then, on the stamp with a butterfly, gently, barely touching, apply glue with a sponge. It is even better to do this several times with a break of a few seconds to get an even white coating.

And now we do everything very quickly, because a thin layer of PVA dries very quickly. Paper and an open jar of powder should already be ready. We put an adhesive print on the paper, quickly cover it with powder and gently shake off the excess onto the paper.

Usually the powder is burned with a special hair dryer with a heating temperature of 200 degrees. It is certainly more convenient, but in the absence of a hair dryer, it is quite possible to adapt to an iron. How to do it correctly will be clearly demonstrated in the second part of the master class using another decor element for a magic box as an example (subscribe to updates so you don't miss anything).

After the powder has been melted, we cut out the butterflies along the contour. You will need 4 in total.

Let's give each butterfly volume by going over the paper with an embossing tool - a stick with a round tip - on a soft rubber mat.

Here, the butterflies are ready to take off =). But in order for them to really fly out when opening our magic box, we will fix them at the ends of elastic and transparent plastic strips that can be made, for example, from unnecessary packaging from headphones.

We cut out the strips and glue the butterflies with a thermal gun - firmly and reliably.

* * *

On this, perhaps, the first part of the master class on creating a magic box with fluttering butterflies will be completed. In the second part, Vita will demonstrate how to fix the butterflies inside the box, make the rest of the decor elements (including the wet embossing method), and how to put everything together into a single composition.

This will happen very soon. Follow the mail if, of course, you are already subscribed to site updates. If not yet, I invite you to do it right now - there is a lot of interesting things ahead!

And, of course, friends, leave your impressions in the comments, ask questions, share own experience in creating magic boxes :).

See you soon!

Yours Inna Pyshkina.
