Hello, dear readers, guests of the Domovenok-Art blog! If you have been with us for a long time, then it is not news to you that one of the leading topics of the blog is homemade gifts and creative gift giving. Today I propose to consider this question: a do-it-yourself money box.

I won’t surprise you if I write that money is the most popular, most universal gift for most people. However, such a gift also has back side: lack of emotions and feeling of magic when receiving. But! I wasn’t me if I hadn’t said that there was a way out!)))

Money can be given in a way that will be remembered. And I'll tell you more: It’s not just possible, it needs to be done unusually. Moreover, it doesn’t take as much time to create interesting packaging as you might think.

In this article we will look at just one of the creative ways to give a cash gift - making an unusual box for money. But in the next article (it is already available here:) I will show you a few more ways to give this gift.

Until then, boxes! The article is divided into two parts:

And for everyone who reads to the end, another very beautiful idea for donating money in a box. But let's take it in order)))

What do-it-yourself money boxes can be like?

Idea 1. Magic boxing

Idea 2. Box with a gift and a compartment for money

Do you know that if you glue some kind of envelope to the top-opening lid, you can turn any box into a box for money. Making it is also quite simple. Moreover, with this option, when in addition to money there is also a small but pleasant gift inside, the impressions are enhanced. This has been verified.

I suggest you take a look at my favorite master class: . It perfectly demonstrates what I wrote above. I placed coffee soap inside that very package. self made on the one hand, and on the other - the same envelope with money. But who said that you should limit yourself to only these gifts)))

Below you can see a sweet version of the gift (the photo is not mine, I specifically leave the name of the master’s account).

Idea 3. Chest of drawers

A cardboard chest of drawers is a thing that can not only serve as an unusual handmade box for money. After all, if you look closely, this is a 3-in-1 gift! This lovely little thing can serve as an independent gift in itself. Plus money...

In addition, you can add something small, some pleasant trifle, to a monetary gift: candy, a mini-album for photos, handmade magnets, a postcard, gingerbread, etc.

Of course, this method is not the fastest. If you make such gift wrapping yourself, you will have to spend time creating it. But the effect of such a gift will be very, very noticeable! And it's been verified!

In turn, to make your task easier, I offer a choice of two master classes: and.

Idea 4. Treasure chest

A very logical way to give a cash gift. You can play up the presentation of a gift using a quest, when the recipient, together with a team of like-minded people, will look for the treasure))) It's fun! And verified 😉

There are a great many chest assembly schemes on the Internet. I suggest this (click to enlarge):

Idea 5. Quick DIY box

While I was writing the previous paragraph, I remembered a recent article about the creation of mega fast ones. Why not options for unusual DIY money boxes? By the way, there was also a chest there, only of a different shape.

All these boxes ⬆, or rather most of them, can be safely used as containers for your own universal gift))) Still, this is more interesting than a simple, familiar envelope.

Idea 6. A box like for sweets, but instead of sweets there is money

What if you create a beautiful box with transparent windows, the kind I usually use for sweets or... like for mini soap, for example (I talked about such a box). But instead of candy or soap, put money inside. Neatly, in small packages.

You give such a gift and observe the surprise of the recipient. It's unexpected! He expects anything in such a box, but not banknotes. And here's a surprise!

Idea 7. A small box for money similar to a matchbox or sweet box

You can find many similar examples on the Internet. simple boxes for money with your own hands according to the principle matchbox. I did it in a similar way. Only if you are making this box for cash gift, then you should take care of how to secure the bills. Usually this is a small arc under which twisted money is pushed.

I'll attach a few of the options I've seen to the gallery. The trick is in the details! 😉

Idea 8. Ordinary box. Ha ha!

Okay, don’t be scared))) Brownie-Art wouldn’t be art if everything was completely ordinary. A box for money can be even the most ordinary one, that’s true. But if, in addition to money, you add unusual or pleasant details inside...

For example, a model car, or a tag postcard, or a keychain, a bag of goodies, etc. And then lay it all beautifully on a bed of raffia or sisal, or even just unusual napkin. Even a simple banal box will look super advantageous!

Unusual DIY money box. Master Class

And now the master class! We will create an unusual box for money with our own hands using the scrapbooking technique. She looks, of course, not quite familiar. But it looks, you see, very cool.

For work we will need:

beautiful light cardboard (can be embossed, or glossy, etc.);
a couple of sheets of scrap paper that match each other;
a sheet of contrasting plain paper;
decor;
glue moment Crystal;
glue stick;
glue gun and rods;
foam tape;
transparent plastic;
paper butterflies and roses;
border hole punch.

Making an unusual box for money using scrapbooking technique

Step 1. Preparing the base of the box

We mark the cardboard according to the diagram (click to enlarge):

This will be the back and bottom of the box. Cut and bend along the line.

I don't remember the sizes. Measure them along the red line from the previous drawing using a piece of paper. Cut it out

Step 2. Preliminary decor.

Before gluing both parts together, they should be decorated. My version of the decor for the front side looked like this: a strip of light green scrap paper and a red, thinner strip, punched out with a border hole punch.

For some reason I wanted to decorate this part with silver chips. To do this, I applied a thin strip of hot glue and immediately sprinkled it with this dust. It is not necessary to do this)))

For back wall cut out the following details: the red one is slightly larger than the light green one. We punch the side parts of the smaller part with a border hole punch and glue money boxes to the blank (click on the photo to enlarge).

Step 3. Assembling the box.

First, glue the teeth and sides to the bottom from below.

Then we fix the two remaining petals at the back, on the back wall. It turns out this is a pretty nice box. If you don't turn it over.

In the photo you can also notice two rectangles (polka dot and white) and two butterflies. I have already started decorating the product.

Step 4. Decor of the money box.

I won’t say anything specific about the decor. I'll give you my version. But I know that each of you can come up with your own. And place the elements in your own way. Twist and twist, you will certainly find a solution.

I cut out a couple of rectangles from contrasting paper (white and red). I glued them together and then placed a wooden bear and a pencil on top of it.

This element is attached to the box using double-sided foam tape. In this way.

The lower part also received a piece of its own decor (according to the rules of balance - in the opposite direction). Why a stroller? I will answer right away. Because the gift was for a newborn princess))) I was always horrified by the tradition of shoving money under a child’s pillow. In my opinion, it’s not just more interesting, but also more hygienic :)

Nowadays, money is one of the most common gifts and, it would seem, there is nothing simpler than. But sometimes you really want to add something unusual to such an ordinary gift. And it’s not at all difficult to do this; all you need is the desire and the most simple materials. So, we suggest you make a money box with your own hands, following our master class.

Money box scrapbooking – master class

Required tools and materials:

2 types of scrap paper (backgrounds for it can be found on the Internet and printed or bought ready-made);
white and colored cardboard;
watercolor paper;
pencils and watercolors;
brush, pencil, stationery knife, metal ruler, scissors;
an inscription or picture (you can also print them yourself);
glue (preferably “moment-crystal”);
double-sided tape (you can limit yourself to glue);
decorations (beads, half-beads, buttons, pendants - whatever you see fit);
ribbon.

Performance:

First, using a ruler and a stationery knife, you need to cut cardboard and paper. The dimensions of paper and cardboard, as well as the principle of distribution of colored and white cardboard, are shown in detail in the photo.

Next, we take the largest square (18x18 cm) and line it. The next step is to do the creasing (mark the places of the folds) - in addition to a special stick, many objects are suitable for this (not writing pen, plastic card and even the handle of a simple teaspoon). I used an ice cream stick. The principle of ruling and scoring is shown in the photo.

The next step is to make cuts and trim off the excess.

And finally, we coat the necessary parts with glue and fold our main box.

So, all the most difficult things are left behind, but it’s too early to stop, because only half the way has been completed.

It's time to make the second part of our box, and for this we will line and crease the largest rectangle of cardboard. This must be done as shown in the photo.

This is the kind of box we should get. Now it's time to start decorating.

We glue narrow strips of paper (1x9 cm) onto strips of cardboard (1.5x9.5). The next step is to glue these double borders onto the box (2 each for the inside and outside), and also sew on a bead that will serve as a handle.

Now take 2 11x11 cardboard squares and two 13x13 paper squares.

We coat the cardboard square with glue, glue it to the wrong side of the paper and cut off the corners.

We fold the excess paper and glue it to the cardboard. We do the same with the second pair and get two neat squares.

We glue our dense squares to the outside of the box so that an equal amount of cardboard protrudes along the edges.

It's time to decorate our creation:

We crease a 10x20 cm cardboard rectangle and fold it in half - this will be a card for wishes.

Now you need to glue the ribbon and upper layer paper - square 9x9.

We paint the inscription with a thin layer watercolor paint, trace around the edge with a pencil and glue it to a cardboard rectangle, 0.5 cm larger than the inscription itself.

Flowers are great for decoration and you don’t have to buy them - you can make them yourself. Let's draw a few large flowers and a few smaller flowers on the wrong side of the watercolor paper, and then cut them out.

We wet our flowers with a damp brush. Immediately after this, add color to taste (the saturation depends on your desire), and then we give shape to the petals - we twist them around a pencil or (as in my case) the shaft of a brush.

Let's add clarity and volume to our flowers - lightly outline the petals and draw veins, and then glue them in pairs and stick a rhinestone or half-bead in the middle.

And here's the finale: we secure everything decorative elements on a postcard, and glue the postcard itself to the box.

Our box may well become a package not only for money, but also for others small gifts, and later not to get lost, becoming a place to store useful and pleasant little things.

A wedding is a special day for every girl. During the day, when everything should be perfect. What makes a perfect day? It consists of little things, of memorable moments. One of important points at a wedding is the presentation of gifts to the newlyweds. To ensure that this process is not ordinary, so that the money in envelopes does not scatter across the tray, and certainly not get lost, the bride will need a money box (chest) for her wedding with her own hands.

When making your money chest, pay attention to the following:

Choose thick cardboard so that it does not wrinkle when accidentally pressed.
To glue the decor, it is better to use a gun with good glue, otherwise something may fall off.
There is no need to sculpt everything and more; try to make it not only beautiful, but also tasteful. It is best if you have one large decoration, and around it a scattering of smaller beads and crystals.

Why overpay if you can do it yourself the way you need it, saving quite a bit of money?
