Let's get started. First of all, of course, we will make the “frame” of the box itself. To do this, you need a Whatman paper, a pencil and a ruler. It is necessary to draw a drawing paper in the same way as in the photo below. All sizes are indicated. The middle part consists of four squares 10x10 cm high and three squares wide.

When the main parts are cut out, we proceed to the next step - we paste over the inside of the box with colored paper. It is better to choose paper in dark colors. We leave the right square (in the photo) not glued, since another part will be glued to it.

Now we cut out a snowflake from a white sheet of paper. We need only half of it.

With gouache, we draw any pattern on New Year's theme: snowflakes, deers, Christmas trees, Christmas toys, gifts, etc.

When the pattern is finished, glue part of the snowflake.

Next, we proceed to the decoration of the outer part. Take a sheet of colored paper and cut four squares of 9.5x9.5 cm from it.

Now draw a square of white paper (approximately 12x12 cm) into four equal parts, on one of them we will draw a snowflake. Putting all the pieces together, we cut out four snowflakes - they will decorate the outer part of the box. Using scissors, you can round the edges of snowflakes. But do not rush to stick them, because they will interfere with further work.

Next, go to the departments that will be located inside the box. Cut them to bend. Tip: to bend the paper whatman easier and smoother, you can gently draw a clerical knife along the bend line.
