• pick up the paper, the dimensions of which allow you to completely wrap the box;
• place a cardboard product on paper, make small cuts from the edges of the wrapping material to the box itself;
• gently wrap each edge and glue it on the sides of the box;
• from color cardboard cut out small geometric figures (circles, triangles, asterisks);

• after alternately, lay the bag box to measure its height;
• from the resulting drawing, measure another 2-3 additional centimeters. It will provide an opportunity to better fix them from the inside of the box;
• at the intersection of the previously marked lines, it is necessary to make small indents and hold a dotted line instead;
• cut the element on the outlined points;
• prettyly wake the box with glue, after carefully, paying special attention to the corners, stick to her fabric;

Many ways of decorating boxes from under shoes are invented. Consider some of them in order for you to be inspired and, perhaps, some own ideas.

The first way: Decorating the box with remnants of wallpaper.If you never walked a cardboard box with wallpaper, you need to gain patience and try everything carefully. First, measure and then cut the necessary wallpaper strip. To do this, measure the width, length and height of the box. The length of the piece of wallpaper should be 2-3 centimeters more than the length of + four heights of the box. And the width is 2-3 centimeters more than the width + four heights of the box (this is in order to break the wallpaper inside the box). On the wallpaper, check where you need to make cuts. Sample the pattern on the box. Right start the wallpaper inside the box and now start gluing. Clay can use a bulk, PVA or hot (from a gun).

Box ready, use!
