For this Christmas you have the best ideas to be able to gift wrapping in a fun way. We have decorated a box with some little sheep with fluffy cottons and Papa Nöel hats. And we have also decorated another box with a special paper with gold star motifs. You will be surprised how you can decorate this box with a Raffia rope, some pine needles and a decorated cardboard heart.
The materials that I have used are:
For the gift of the sheep
- Small box.
- White acrylic paint.
- Brush.
- White cotton.
- Beige eva rubber.
- Red felt (a small piece).
- Small white pompoms.
- Fine-tipped black marker.
- Hot silicone and gun.
- Scissors.
For the gift of golden stars
- Medium box.
- Gift wrapping paper.
- Hot silicone and gun.
- Somewhat thick raffia rope.
- A piece of cardboard.
- Typex.
- Ornamental pine leaves.
- Silver decorative stars.
- Scissors.
You can see this craft step by step in the following video:
The gift of the sheep
First step:
We choose a small box. We need the cover to be white, if not We will have to paint it with white acrylic paint. We give it a layer and let it dry. If we observe that the lid has not been well covered with a white layer, we paint it again until it is covered in white.
Second step:
We take the cottons and give them a round shape to form the body of the sheep. We make three cotton balls per sheep and we stick them with hot silicone.
Third step:
On the eva rubber sheet We draw the two heads of the sheep and cut them out. We also cut eight oblong rectangular strips to make the legs. With a black marker we paint the eyes and the mouth. We also paint the hooves of the sheep's feet. We place all the elements in the body of the sheep with the hot silicone.
Fourth step:
On a small piece of red felt we cut out two triangles to make the hats. We glue on one of its ends a white pompom. With the hat formed we glue it on the heads of the sheep.
Star Paper Gift Box
First step:
We wrap the box and its lid with the wrapping paper. We finish each detail well so that the paper is well adjusted and glued with the silicone.
Second step:
We close the box with its lid (without first putting the gift). In this step we are going to close the box by wrapping the raffia rope about four times. We close the rope with a simple knot.
Third step:
On a piece of cardboard we draw a heart and cut it out. With a tipex we decorate the heart making fun drawings with Christmas motifs. Finally we will glue the cardboard on the lid of the box, place the pine branches and glue the decorative stars.
