A chocolate box is a box for chocolate that can be decorated for any occasion. The chocolate turns into a real gift, and on the inside of the box you can make a paper loop-holder for money, then the chocolate box replaces the postcard with an envelope.
We will need:
- chocolate;
- bright A4 cardboard;
- a piece of beautiful paper;
- ribbon;
- double sided tape;
- beads, flowers, any other decor;
- ruler, scissors.
Step 1.
We cut out the cardboard according to the diagram, taking into account the size of the chocolate bar in length and width. The figure shows the fold lines. In this case, the dimensions of the chocolate bar are 17x8 cm and height 1.5 cm.
Step 2.
We bend the cardboard along all the drawn lines. We glue double-sided tape to the edge of the “wings”.
Step 3.
Glue the wings to the back wall of the chocolate bowl, thus creating a pocket for the chocolate.
Step 4.
Close the box and tape it around the middle with double-sided tape. Glue the ribbon onto the tape.
Step 5.
We cut out a rectangle from the prepared beautiful paper, the size of which is slightly smaller than the chocolate bowl. Indentation 0.5-1 cm on each side. Glue the paper in the center of the box.
Step 6.
The inside of the cardboard can be decorated with something flat - flowers, flat beads, ribbons, pictures. If necessary, you can glue a money holder loop to the inside of the “door”. Place a chocolate bar and tie a bow. On the outside you can glue beads, flowers, pictures depending on the occasion, you can also write a beautiful wish.

What is the idea of the gift?: We give an ordinary (at first glance) box of chocolates. That is, it seems like nothing special. Such a service gift. But the inside of the box is not at all as simple as it seems from the outside, which is unexpected and VERY pleasant!
Let's look at the gift not from the donor's point of view (that is, not in the sequence of production), but let's look at it through the eyes of the one to whom it is intended.
This is what it looked like: On my colleague Nina’s desk one fine Monday, this box of chocolates materialized
The note to the box (not in the photo) said that I wished Nina a happy birthday, and the box itself would tell me about my wishes. So, this is the picture you get if you remove the transparent film and open the box:
and a closer view:
We open the folded piece of paper with the Esfero logo, which plays the role of a small postcard, and there is a note:
The note reads as follows:
Ta-ta-ta-dam! The curtain rises and the box opens! And this is what Nina sees there (and this, frankly speaking, is not exactly what is usually found inside a standard box of chocolates):
Let's take a close-up look at the bonuses from left to right:
Below right is a mini-card with wishes of love. Since love is as important as air in a family, and in life in general, the entire box is strewn with colored hearts. May there be a lot of love!
in the left corner there is essential oil of mint and coffee beans:
Inside the folded bonus leaflets are pictures and inspiring phrases on the topic. What kind of phrases are these and where to get such pictures?
What is the result? I liked the gift! It was nice to give it (because Nina is a very good person), and it was no less nice to collect bonuses from different items.
True creativity))
And a little about technical issues, which will be useful to everyone who decides to bring this gift idea to life:
All items were glued with double-sided tape (which is so thick - on a foam base)
The box was packed in transparent film (which is also used in making bouquets)
What a gift! Both a box of chocolates and a postcard in 3D format
The idea of such a design did not belong to me, but to a talented person unknown to me, who posted a photo of his creation on the Internet. Here I will show and tell you how I made a chocolate bowl with such pockets.
For work we will need cardboard, scrap paper, glue, cutting and creasing tools. I do not mention decorations here, because the decor of the outer part of the chocolate bowl will not be included in the master class. But what else will not hurt you when working with its “insides” is a real chocolate bar and tea bags :) I will tell you here all the parameters of my pockets, but keep in mind that they are tested only on a certain type of chocolate and tea :)
So, let's start preparing the parts for our chocolate maker.
For its base, cut out a 17x22 cm rectangle from cardboard and crease it in the middle (at a distance of 10 and 12 cm from the edge).
The second detail is the future pocket for chocolate. It starts with a 10x12 cm cardboard rectangle. We make folds on the rectangle, as shown in the photo. The distance between adjacent lines is 1 cm. We crease the long side on both sides, and the short side on one side.
And one more type of parts for which we need creasing. These are future pockets for tea bags. We take rectangles measuring 8.8x14 cm. We bend along the long sides on both edges at a distance of 1 cm from the edge. We also make a fold line across, dividing the 14 cm side into 6 and 8 cm.
The creasing tool can be put aside. Now we have to make several cuts. Let's transform the chocolate pocket like this (I think you can easily do this by comparing two photos)
We cut the remaining punched squares on one side and turn them into “ears”:
Then we simply bend our part along all the fold lines -
... and it will fold itself into a pocket like this. We glue the “ears” to the “bottom” of the pocket, and we also glue the transverse strip along the edges.
What you see in the photo below is the back view of the pocket. We will then glue it to the base using these folded edges.
Now let's take care of the tea pockets. From our blanks we cut out such a part (we cut off the edges of the shorter half)
We bend it and we get this nice pocket. I rounded the corners of the valves with a special hole punch.
Glue the front side to the valves. We repeat the whole procedure with two other pockets :)
That, in fact, is all the difficulty:) all that remains is to glue the pockets to the base (previously covered with scrap paper). Don't forget to try on the chocolate and bags :)
I made a few souvenirs here for the upcoming Teacher's Day.
Instead of buying standard gift bags, I made chocolate makers. It seems to me that this is a great option for congratulations.
Strictly speaking, this technology is suitable for making packaging for any flat object - soap, books, boxes of chocolates, even cream in a flat bottle. Also, such chocolate boxes can be perfectly used as a gift envelope for money for a birthday or wedding - put chocolate and banknotes and give them in such a beautiful package.
Issue price:
sheet of cardboard from the children's set "Colored cardboard"
sheet of single-sided paper for scrapbooking 15*15 cm - 10 rub.
ribbons - 4-6 rubles per 1 m (0.5 m is enough for one package)
additional decorations - upon request and opportunity
double-sided tape (one will last a long time and not only for chocolate makers)
and plus 15-20 minutes of time
With the first chocolate maker, it may take more time, but 2.3 and subsequent ones will be done much faster and with better quality.
The idea for such chocolate makers is not mine, but after studying many master classes, I made the most convenient and fastest option for myself.
1. Take a sheet of colored or white cardboard in A4 format. If you are making it not for a standard chocolate bar, but for something else, then the dimensions will have to be changed and the cardboard will also need to be larger/smaller. On the long side we set aside 26 cm
2. and cut off the excess
3. on the front side we put it from right to left: 8.5 cm, 1 cm, 8.5 cm, 1 cm
4. put aside 2 times 1 cm from the bottom and top and draw lines
5. cut off the excess with scissors according to the diagram
6. Now we need to push all the lines, so that it is easier to make bends on them. You can push it with a non-writing pen, or the corner of a ruler; I pushed it with round scissors. After pressing with an eraser, erase all lines. Fold the cardboard along the folds.
the outlines of the future box are already visible
8. glue
It’s important to glue it evenly, otherwise the box will end up crooked
We repeat the same on the other side. And the actual base of the box is ready. Now all that remains is to decorate it.
9. Glue small pieces of double-sided tape on both sides to secure the tape. For the ties we will need about 0.5 m of tape (more or less, if desired, and of any width). Wide ribbon bows look very nice.
10. Cut scrapbooking paper 15*15 in half
Today, you won’t surprise anyone with sweets from the store. Can you make a sweet gift with your own hands?

You can make a sweet gift for a boy from marmalade in the form of a kebab. Such a sweet gift can be given not only to a child, but also to a boyfriend.
For such a gift, you need to prepare skewers, marmalade figures, bags for packaging, and glue.

Cover the top of the pot with artificial grass or green velvet.
For sweets, you can make original sweet baskets with your own hands. To do this we need the required number of balloons, chocolate, a tray or baking sheet, and a needle.
Melt the chocolate in a water bath. At this time, we inflate balloons of the same size as our planned baskets. Lubricate part of the ball with vegetable oil. 
Pour one spoonful of melted chocolate mass onto a baking sheet, this will serve as a stand for our basket, then dip part of the ball, greased with butter, into chocolate and place it on the stand.
We give the chocolate mass time to harden, and pierce the ball with a needle or pin. We made great baskets or cups for sweets. You can fill such a stand with any delicious dessert or small sweets.
