Radiant DIY-gift wrappings: Folding a box made easy

Step 1: Print out and transfer the templates

First print out the templates. transfer the template for the large star onto a sheet of folding paper. You will need a total of two pieces of folding paper for one box. The small, simple star will serve as the lid on the back of the box.

Step 2: Prepare the large star

The best way to transfer the large star is to use blue paper. Carefully cut out the star and then start folding the lines. Folding means that you go along the lines and crease them slightly so that the fold lines are clearly visible.

Step 3: Cutting and gluing

Now cut the dotted lines. These cuts are necessary so that the corners of the star overlap when glued together. Glue the overlapping corners together to create the distinctive star points. Make sure that the glue dries well before you continue.

Step 4: Fill the mini box

Now comes the exciting part: fill the finished box! It is particularly suitable for small gifts such as jewelry or other small surprises. Carefully place the gift in the box and prepare for the final step.

Step 5: Seal the back

To close the box, tape the open back with the small star. Press the small star down firmly until the glue is completely dry. This will keep the gift securely in the box.

Step 6: Attach the decorations

Add the finishing touches to your gift wrapping by decorating it with a beautiful ribbon and a small clip. These little details make your box extra special and show that a lot of love and effort has gone into this gift wrapping .

Now you are ready to fold a magical box with your own hands and fill it as you wish. It's not only only fun, but also a lovely gesture to give the gift of happiness and joy.
