Wedding box

When you are going to go to a wedding and congratulate the newlyweds on this special day, as a rule, you start preparing in advance. It is necessary to study the tastes and preferences of young people, to understand what needs to be given to them so that it will be useful in their family life. If the newlyweds are very close to you, then you can find out in advance or ask directly what they want. Well, if you are going to a wedding of distant relatives, then, of course, you need to rely solely on yourself. Basically, a cash gift is a win-win option. This is, at first glance, quite simple present, but on the other hand, it is necessary. It is up to the young people themselves to determine what is acceptable for them to acquire first and that the most important thing is what is necessary for their young family life. But for a cash gift you need an envelope with congratulations, here you already need to search and select it. And it will be very unforgettable to make a congratulatory wedding box with your own hands, into which you can invest even a little money and in which congratulations for the newlyweds will be ready.

On a piece of paper we draw a diagram of the box and lid.

From sheet A3 we cut out the main part of the box, and from sheet A4 its lid.

We cut out both parts and now draw bend lines, as in the photo. Let's prepare the decoration of the box.

We cut out 9.5 * 9.5 cm squares from scrap paper for the external design of the box - 4 squares, and for the internal 5 squares. For the lid, cut out 4 strips of 1.5*10 cm and a square of 10*10 cm. We glue the pictures with tape onto scrap paper and sew them on with a machine.

Glue the white heart onto the pink one, sew it on, then glue the swans and sew it on as well.

We place stamps on the blanks, and use hole punches to make openwork edges and stripes.

We glue the prepared scrap paper blanks both inside and outside the box itself. Now, using a sewing machine, we sew each square of the box from the inside.
