Gift packaging for a CD. How to make a box for a disc with your own hands Making a beautiful envelope with a jumper

If you are going to give a CD with a selection of photos, videos or other form of congratulations, then you should package the disc beautifully.

Moreover, you can make a package in which the disc will be stored.

This will not be wrapping paper, but a mini-box that will never be thrown away.

For such packaging you will need the following materials and tools:

• A4 sheet of Whatman paper;
• on a sheet of yellow and blue colored paper (copier type);
• glue stick;
• adhesive decorative elements-pebbles;
• ruler;
• knitting needle (for knitting);
• graphite pencil;
• eraser;
• scissors;
• figured edge punch;
• figured corner punch;
• a cutting machine and, accordingly, a knife for cutting out an oval element (size approximately 10 by 7 cm) and flowers.

Description of work:

As a rule, plastic disc boxes are the same size, but still, to be sure, measure its length, width and thickness.

Based on the size of our box, we draw the drawing with a graphite (simple) pencil.

We cut out a blank for packaging from whatman paper. We make cuts along the lines marked in red on the drawing.

We bend along the blue ones. To ensure that the fold line is even, apply a ruler to it and draw along the line, pressing lightly, with a regular knitting needle.

We cut out a template from whatman paper: 1/4 circle, 1.5 cm in diameter.

We outline this template from the extreme sides of the package. And cut along the outlined line.

We make such cutouts so that the box with the disc can be easily removed from the packaging.

Cut out an oval decorative element from blue paper.

This can be done using a cutting machine and an appropriate knife, or cut with curly scissors, or take a ready-made napkin of the desired size.

We cut out 4 strips from yellow paper, approximately 3 cm wide. We cut out the edges of the strips either with a shaped edge puncher or with shaped scissors.

We arrange the cut out elements as follows: yellow stripes along the vertical, blue oval on top of the stripes in the center. We glue the elements with a glue stick.

We cut off the excess edges of the strips.

We cut out flowers either using a machine and a knife, or manually from whatman paper.

If we cut it out by hand, the edges of the petals should be curled with scissors to give the flower volume.

We glue decorative stones onto the strips along their entire length in the center, along the edge of the oval and in the middle of the flower.

We cut out the corner tag from whatman paper using scissors and a figured hole punch. One of the corners can be twisted using scissors.

Glue the tag in the center onto a glue stick.

We glue the packaging with a glue stick.

Gift packaging for the CD is ready.

It's nice when all the bright moments of past holidays and memorable dates, and their celebrations, are captured in photos or videos. They will warm the soul for a long time with the pleasant memories that arise when viewing them.

In this regard, now we will tell you how to make a beautiful packaging for a disk with your own hands, on which you can save those same photos and videos.

Such a gift can be suitable for almost any holiday, which naturally involved video and photography. Of course, this is especially true for Weddings. And in the end we will get such a beautiful thing.

Let's begin the process of making the packaging for the disc. Cut out two squares measuring 13 by 13 centimeters from thick cardboard. Then cut out a rectangle from colored paper of your choice in color and texture. Its size is a little more than 2 squares together - look at the picture.

We cut off the corners of the rectangle, bend and glue the strips protruding along the contour. Now we glue a piece of colored paper in the middle to form a folding point for the homemade packaging.

We cut out 2 squares from the same paper, slightly smaller in size than 13 by 13 centimeters - when applied, they should completely cover the cardboard. From another paper we cut out a couple of rectangles, slightly smaller in height than the first. We make cuts as shown in the picture.

The pictures show how to glue these parts together and glue them into the base of the workpiece. The final stage is decor and decoration at your own discretion. Because for Birthdays and Weddings they will be different and everyone will choose their own way to decorate such a craft.

A CD box is a very necessary thing, especially if you decide to record and give away a disc with your photos or a film. The disc case will keep it intact and make a beautiful packaging cover.

And more ideas for storing disks, because you can never have too many disks!

What is needed for work

For work we will need: 1 mm thick cardboard, kraft paper, designer paper, ribbon or elastic band, decorative tape, decorations, brush and PVA glue

Step-by-step master class on making a cover

We cut out 2 blanks from millimeter cardboard, measuring 14 by 14 cm.

First, we need to cover them with paper to cover the ends. You can use craft paper or thin scrap paper. We cut out a rectangle from it, its minimum size is 17 by 32 cm - we left allowances on all sides of 1.5 cm and a gap in the middle of 1 cm to form a “binding”.

To evenly glue the cardboard covers to the kraft paper, draw 3 lines: 2 lines in the middle with a step of 1 cm and 1 line at the bottom, at a distance of 2 cm from the edge. Now we need to glue it, apply PVA glue to the cardboard itself, in a continuous thin layer.

We cut off the corners, leaving approximately 1.5mm from each corner.

We bend and glue the allowances, first horizontally. We still use the same PVA glue, coat it well, carefully bend it so that everything is even,

In the middle we go through it several times with our index finger.

This way everything will be covered beautifully.

In the hectic pace of modern life, we often miss important little things. So, for example, when we need to send a postcard or make a monetary gift, it turns out that we forgot to purchase an envelope. But you can find a way out of any situation. In this case, a couple of methods will be useful, describing how to make an envelope from A4 sheet.

Do-it-yourself envelopes have the main advantage of being variable in design and size. As for the first, envelopes made from:

• multi-colored packaging paper;
• thick colored sheets for the printer;
• paper for creativity.

Such products can be decorated with scrapbooking or quilling elements - then the envelope will become even more attractive and original. The size of the envelope can be any size that matches the contents - from a disk or package of banknotes to thin books or flat paintings. The main thing is to choose the format of the sheet of paper.

Gift envelope for quick money

Banknotes as gifts are certainly not the most ethical souvenir, but they are nonetheless the most popular. To make up for some inconsistency with etiquette, it is customary to give money in an envelope. And here you don’t have to limit your imagination in choosing the shape of the holiday packaging, using a standard A4 sheet.

Instructions:

1. Cut off part of the sheet to make a square.
2. Fold the sheet along 2 diagonals and smooth out the folds.
3. We bend one of the corners inward towards the center.
4. We fold the workpiece along the center fold line.
5. We reduce the lateral angles to the middle of the base of the resulting triangle.
6. We bend the upper corner, which is in the middle, in the opposite direction and use our finger to form a rhombus out of it.
7. We bend the upper triangle along the base line so that the top falls into the diamond. The envelope is ready.

13. We hide the tongue behind the jumper in the center. The envelope is ready.

Need to put in a disc? But it turned out that the box or envelope was not at home? We offer you a simple way to make a CD envelope from a regular A4 sheet.

How to make an envelope for a disc from A4?

To get a good product, you must strictly follow the instructions. To make it, we need the disc itself (CD or DVD) and a regular sheet of A4 paper.

Let's get to work!

1. We place the disk on the edge of the long side of the sheet of paper so that the center of its hole is in the middle of this edge - photo No. 1.
2. We bend the edges of the sheet to the size of our disk - photo No. 2.
3. We bend the sheet folded from the sides again, to half the size of the disk. We insert our disk into the resulting pocket - photo No. 3.
4 . We bend the remaining part of the sheet towards the disk and press it against it - photo No. 4.
5. We turn the same part of the sheet back and make small bends on the sides, in the form of wings - photos No. 5 and No. 6.
6. We insert the edge of the sheet with curved wings into the opposite pocket where disk photo No. 7 is located.
7 . Our A4 paper disc envelope is ready - photo No. 8.

This arrangement of the disc in an envelope is well suited for home storage. And if you want to take it to a friend, then it is better to put it not in your pocket, but in the middle of a sheet folded on the sides, as shown in the video below, to avoid street dust getting on the disc.
