How to make a mother's box. Do-it-yourself master class "Mom's treasures" with a step-by-step description

Presents a very useful and interesting Master Class. Ira Derevyanko, mother of 2 wonderful boys, will tell and show how to make a box "Mom's Treasures".

What is it and what is it for?

This is a decorated box made of paper or cardboard (or a box in a box) that will store things important for the mother - a tag from the hospital, the first drawing, casts of arms and legs, a lock of the baby's hair, etc.

These are universal boxes, because from "Mom's Treasures" they can turn into "Children's Treasures" - the manufacturing principle is the same, but the contents may be different - colored stones from the sea, shells, Lego men, hairpins. Each child will find his own use, and the mother will be able to arrange such boxes in different ways, to match the future content.

So let's get started.

To make a box of "Mom's Treasures", you will need:

Thick white cardboard (like whatman paper);

Paper for design or colored cardboard;

Double-sided tape;

glue "Moment" Crystal ";

Scissors (can be a clerical knife),

pencil, ruler, eraser.

For decoration - ribbons, beads, rhinestones, everything that is at hand or will be specially bought in hardware stores or for creativity.

Separately, I will focus on designer cardboard. It can be bought in specialized stores of goods for creativity. I used 3 types of cardboard: solid pink, pink with polka dots, white embossed cardboard. All sheets are A4 size.

How to make a box "Mom's Treasures": stages of creativity

1. We make a blank for a large box:

1.1. From white thick cardboard we cut out a rectangle 20 * 29 cm, in finished form 8 * 17 cm, the height of the side is 6 cm. We measure 6 cm from each edge, draw marking lines.

1.2. Using a ruler and a needle (or use the blunt side of scissors), push a furrow along each of these lines. After - wipe the mark from the pencil with an eraser.

1.3. At the edges of the rectangle, we have formed squares. We measure 2 cm, make valves.

1.4. We bend the sides and valves. We have a blank for the box "Mom's Treasures":

Scheme of the blank for the main box (click to enlarge). You can download and print for your convenience.

2. Now, according to the same principle, we make a blank for the box lid:

2.1. We cut out a rectangle 21.3 * 12.3 cm. In the finished form it will be 17.3 * 8.3 cm, the side is 2 cm. We need an increase of 0.3 cm so that the lid is put on the box.

2.2. We measure 2 cm from each edge, draw marking lines, recesses for bending, and cut out the valves.

3. For those who still want to make inner boxes for individual "mother's treasures", we make the appropriate blanks. I have two more inner boxes: one for a cast of a pen (who still doesn’t know what it is and how to do it, you can familiarize yourself with it), so it was larger, the second for a tag from the hospital and other small memorabilia.

Size for inner boxes: large 20*17 cm, finished 10*7 cm, side height 5 cm. And a small box 16*17 cm, finished 6*7 cm, side height 5 cm. .3 cm and a side height of 2 cm.

4. Now let's get down to the fun part - decorating our "mother's treasure" boxes.

4.1. We cut out rectangles from colored cardboard to fit the sides of the boxes, but reduce each side by 0.3 cm.

4.2. Using double-sided tape, glue pieces of decorative cardboard to the sides of the box. First colored cardboard, then again white. Do not forget to reduce each next piece by 0.3 cm. This is how the “sandwich” turns out.

5. After we glue the box. It is possible with the help of double-sided tape, but for me it did not hold the sides tightly enough. I had to use the glue "Moment" Crystal "- durable, quickly seizes and does not stain the work. I do not recommend PVA, because. it will warp the paper.

6. By the same principle, we decorate the lid and small boxes.

7. Next, a little technology (where without them in our time). In the text editor "Word"We find a beautiful font and print the names on the caps: "Mom's treasures", "Child's name", "Tag from the maternity hospital", "Molds of the arms and legs", etc. I also used the shape "Oval", in which I inserted the inscriptions. We print on plain or color office paper on a color printer.

To be honest, at first I didn’t guess with the size of the oval and the font, I had to use the “poke” method. I guessed it the second time.

8. Cut out the inscriptions along the contour. You can do it on square pieces, you can use curly scissors.

9. We make a substrate from colored cardboard. We impose ovals on colored cardboard, circle with a pencil and add 0.3 cm each, cut out.

10. Connect the parts with double-sided tape. Actually, you can leave it that way. But I have outlines for painting fabric, why not use them. I made an imitation of beads with dots.

11. For further decoration of the "Mom's Treasures" box, you can use ribbons, rhinestones, beads, flowers, etc. - it all depends on your taste, skill and desire.
