Whether it is a small gift for a friend or a creative task in a child’s handcraft class, a DIY gift box is an ideal choice.

List of required materials

Before we start making, we need to prepare the following materials (most families can easily find them):

Colored paper or wrapping paper (it is recommended to choose stiff cardboard or patterned wrapping paper)

Scissors

Ruler

Glue or double-sided tape

Decorations such as ribbons and stickers (optional)

Small gifts (such as candies, small ornaments, small toys, etc.)

Try to choose colorful and interesting paper with patterns to make the finished product more beautiful.

7 simple steps to make a small gift box

1. Prepare materials

Gather the above materials on a clean table and make sure you will not be disturbed while working. Choose the color of paper and the style of gift you like.

2. Cut the paper

Use a ruler to measure the size of the gift box you want, and then cut out a square or rectangular piece of paper. For example, a 10cm × 10cm square can be made into a small and cute box.

3. Fold the paper

Follow the origami steps in the figure below (you can attach a schematic diagram below) and fold the edges of the paper inward to form the border of the box. Make sure the edges are neatly folded and the lines are straight, so that the finished product will be more refined.

It is recommended to use a pen to gently draw the fold line position, which makes it easier to fold neat corners.

4. Paste and fix

Apply glue or double-sided tape to the corners that need to be connected. Then combine the four sides of the box and press gently for a few seconds to ensure that the glue is firmly bonded.

5. Decorate the gift box

This step depends entirely on your creativity! You can:

Tie a ribbon

Add a small card or sticker

Use a hole punch to punch out the edge of the pattern

6. Put in the gift

Put the prepared small objects in the box, such as candy, small ornaments, handwritten greeting cards, etc., to enhance the sense of surprise.

7. Finish and seal the box

Carefully close the lid and make sure everything is intact. At this time, your handmade small gift box is ready!

FAQ

❓ What if there is no colored paper?

You can use old magazines, poster paper, kraft paper, and even discarded wrapping paper, which are also very environmentally friendly for recycling.

❓ What if the gift box is not strong enough?

You can choose slightly thicker cardboard, or add an extra layer of supporting cardboard inside to increase the hardness.

❓ Is there a template for reference?

Of course! You can search for “DIY little gift box template” on Pinterest or Xiaohongshu, or leave a message, and I will provide a downloadable PDF template for free!
