How to Draw a Gift Box
Few things are as satisfying as giving someone a wonderful gift that’s packaged in a beautiful box. But instead of going out to buy a gift box, why not make one yourself? And while it may seem like a difficult task, it’s really quite simple! With just a few easy steps, you’ll be able to create a stunning gift box that’s sure to make your recipient feel extra special. So grab a pencil, a piece of paper, and let’s get started!
Step 1: Draw the outline of the box
Once you’ve got your paper and pencil ready, it’s time to draw the outline of your gift box. Think about the size and shape of the present you plan to put inside and sketch out your box around that. If you’re feeling extra creative, you can also draw in a fancy pattern on the sides and top of the box. When you’re done, erase all the guide lines and you’ve got your basic shape!
Step 2: Create folds for the box
Now that you have the basic shape of your box, it’s time to make the folds. Think of your drawing as a cube, and grab your ruler. Use your ruler to draw folded lines inside the box and along the edges. To make sure your folds are accurate, try to draw vertical and horizontal lines all the way around the box at the same length. When all the folds have been made, erase all the guide lines so that only the folds remain.
Step 3: Draw the details
Now, it’s time to get creative with your gift box. Start by drawing in any patterns or designs that you’d like on the sides and top. Then, draw a pretty ribbon along the top of the box, attaching it to the sides with a bow. You can also use your ruler to draw in any straight lines or curves. When you’re done, erase the guide lines and you’ve got your very own gift box!
Step 4: Add color
Now it’s time to bring your gift box to life! Start by coloring in the edges and any patterns that you’ve drawn in. You can use any color you like, or opt for a monochromatic theme with lighter and darker shades of the same color. Next, add color to the ribbon, the bow, and any details you’ve added. Lastly, if you’d like, you can add some extra sparkle with some glitter or sequins. When you’re done, you’ve got a beautiful gift box that’s ready to give!
Step 5: Final Touches
To make sure your box looks perfect, it’s important to do the finishing touches. Start by going over any details you’ve added with a finer tipped pen. If there’s any shading that could be added, now is the time to do it. Lastly, if you want your box to look extra special, add some glistening foil over the box. When you’re done, you’ve got a stunning gift box that’s good enough to give as a present itself!
Step 6: Gift It!
With your gift box finished, it’s time to present it to your recipient. Place their gift inside and make sure the box is tied shut with the ribbon. Now, all that’s left to do is to give your gifted box to its recipient and watch their face light up with joy. Enjoy the moment and bask in the satisfaction that comes from creating something so special.
