Masu box
For warm-up, we chose masu bo x - an origami box. You can roll one of these even in a taxi on the way to visit: you don't need any scissors or glue, just a couple of sheets of paper. Moreover, even those whose highest achievement in origami is paper airplanes will master the simple principle of their creation.
Notes and Tips:
1. For this box, we chose thick double-sided scrapbooking paper in Leonardo (40 rubles per sheet), but this was a mistake. First, the flip side of the paper would still be hidden in the end. Secondly, the paper turned out to be too thick and therefore unsuitable for origami: it bent poorly and cracked at the folds. As a result, they had to roll up from colored paper with a density of 120 g / m2 (10 rubles per A4 sheet), although a thinner one would fit perfectly.
2. Remember that the base must be smaller than the cover! We decided that if we cut the sheet by three or four millimeters, that would be enough, but in the end the parts of the box still turned out to be almost the same.
3. You can decorate the box (and at the same time hide the extra folds on the lid) using ribbons (a set of five satin ribbons with New Year's prints cost us about 150 rubles). Perfectionist tip: to hide the edges, thread them through the slots in the lid (you can easily figure out where to make them) and glue them from the inside with glue stick. Remember to loosen the straps slightly so that the cover can be bent.
4. For this little experiment I didn't want to buy a package of filler for boxes at all, so we just cut thin craft paper into thin strips, in which the bouquet was once packed. It turned out beautifully and environmentally friendly!
Having warmed up on origami, we decided to make a "pillow box", which is very convenient to put sweets into.
Notes and Tips:
1. Before folding the box, make a crease along the fold lines - push them with a non-writing pen or other thin, but not sharp object. Without this, it will be almost impossible to bend a sheet of paper in a curve. (In general, we advise you to push through all the places of future folds.) And another tip - it's easier not to print, but draw the box diagram yourself. Yes, in order to draw a line of valves, you will have to use an improvised round object, but then it can be used instead of a ruler when scoring, because it will not work accurately by hand.
2. The valves on one side can be pierced with a hole punch to insert the ribbon. But we do not recommend trying to glue them: the valves are almost impossible to press against each other so that the glue seizes, besides, they are already very confident to keep closed.
3. For this box, we took pastel paper (16 rubles per sheet). The density of 160 g / m2 was perfect for a small box, and the velvety surface reminded the starry sky and inspired decor.
4. To decorate the box as we did, select the constellation you like and draw it with a white gel pen (it is better to do this on the box that has not yet been rolled up). To glue the stars (again, the beloved Leonardo, 72 rubles), dip the conic of a toothpick in glue, make a dot on the paper and attach a star. We used PVA glue, but keep in mind that it doesn't hold very well on synthetic materials. Minor stars can be made from simple small sequins (they will cost about half the price of curly ones) - just apply glue to paper and sprinkle some magic dust on this place.
Envelope
The four-petal envelope is a beautiful, simple package that doesn't even require any glue from you. It rolls up easily and fits gift certificates, CDs, pendants and other small items.
Notes and Tips:
1. We took paper with a density of about 140 g / m2 for this package, but it was possible to choose a thicker one.
2. The petals can be decorated with sparkles - just run a cotton swab dipped in glue along the cut and dip the paper in them.
3. If your gift is not entirely flat, then you can make a "wall" several millimeters high near the box (as in the photo above).
Paper pyramids
And finally, our favorite is the paper pyramids! They look great and, despite their apparent fragility, are quite sturdy. The scheme for their creation is perhaps the most complicated, but nothing needs to be glued and intricately bent. Such a box will perfectly fit a handmade chocolate candy, a flash drive, jewelry, a Christmas tree toy ... Anything! 
Notes and Tips:
1. For boxes - hurray! - the double-sided paper that was purchased for origami was perfect. Pastel also behaved beautifully.
2. On a red box, we cut out a snowflake with a breadboard knife, and so that it was not visible through it what was hidden inside, we used tracing paper - we cut out a four-pointed star from it to the size of the box and grabbed it with glue-pencil.
3. It is convenient to make holes for a tie-string with a hole punch, but in the absence of one, you can cut it with a paper knife or pierce it with a needle.
P. S.
In the 21st century, it is impossible not to think about saving resources and an ethical attitude towards nature. If your inner ecologist protests against packaging as a harmful excess, but you still want to please the person being presented with a beautiful box or securely wrap a fragile gift, then you can always find a compromise solution. We have already written above that filler for boxes can be made from old parchment. Think, maybe, instead of origami paper, you can take a beautiful magazine sheet, instead of synthetic sequins, decorate the boxes with your own drawings, and replace satin ribbons with twine or cotton lace.
There are a lot of options for decorating gifts, it all depends on your imagination and, believe me, even if it seems to you that you do not have a single worthwhile idea, they will appear as soon as you pick up paper and scissors and start creating your first homemade box!

How to wrap a gift in gift paper: step by step
Is packing gifts for the holidays a big problem for many every year? Use minimalistic holiday styling. All it takes is a little imagination and initial hand-made skills. Take advantage of our beautiful gift wrapping workshop. 
Step 1
Start by measuring the paper you need because the final result is highly dependent on that. Fine-tuning the sheet size will avoid unsightly bends and unsuccessful adhesion of extra centimeters. What is the easiest way to do this? Spread a piece of paper out on the floor and place a gift or box on top of it (the short side should be straight in front). At the sides, measure enough material to wrap the gift on each side. At the top and bottom, measure on each side a few millimeters less than the height of the box in that position. Cut off excess paper.
Advice! Be careful not to cut off excess paper when the gift is wrapped. It is best to mark the cut points (or even draw a thin line) where you intend to cut.
Place the gift upside down in the middle of the cut sheet. Fold the paper over to the left and place it on top of the box. Repeat on the other side and place a piece of double-sided tape over it. 
Step 2
While holding the gift with your other hand, fold the top of the paper inward so that the triangular tabs form on the sides. Then fold them inside. 
Step 3
At the end, fold the bottom flap to the center and secure with double-sided tape (preferably in two places). Repeat on the other side.
Step 4
At the end, all you have to do is tie the ribbon. Place it under the middle and wrap the box at right angles to the other side (while turning the gift). Tie a bow in the middle. The gift is ready!
