If you plan to give someone a small souvenir, then take care of its packaging. A beautiful box looks much more presentable than a paper or cellophane wrapper. Moreover, making a box is very easy on your own. The origami technique allows you to make such packaging that you do not need to fasten with glue.
Prepare the following components:
- two sheets of not too dense cardboard;
- a ruler;
- scissors;
- pen or pencil.

It is better to use two contrasting shades of adjacent colors. For example, blue and purple. 2 squares should be cut from them. The purple square should be 1 cm smaller than blue.

Take one small square and bend it diagonally two times.

Then open the workpiece and fold the two opposite corners towards the center.

And bend the sides again in the middle. It turns out such a workpiece.

Open it and repeat the same manipulations with other corners.

Expand everything to its initial state and note that the large square is completely divided into small squares and triangles. Notch two opposite corners so that in the center there are 4 small squares, and on each side we get two slots.

Bend the left and right corners to the center, creating the sides of the future box and connect the upper and lower notched corners.

Hide them with the remaining corners so that the sides form above and below.

It turns out here is such a miniature box of blue.

Fold the same blank from the purple square. It turns out a little less than blue.

Both parts are easily interconnected.

Hide a small souvenir in such packaging. It could be a bracelet for a daughter.

Original statuette for girlfriend.

You can decorate the box with a bow from a satin ribbon or tie a ribbon around the entire perimeter so that the birthday boy also unpacks it with interest. It would be appropriate to put inside a piece of paper with wishes.
If you take a larger cardboard, then the box will come out bigger. A thick paper, which is used in scrapbooking, will form a bright box with a fun print.
