You can not only print the template and cut out the box, but also decorate the packaging with beads, tinsel, ribbons or glitter to your liking.

Stylish DIY New Year's boxes: templates
For many, it is the packaging of New Year's gifts that is complex and incomprehensible. Therefore, they prefer to farm out this stage to some companies that will charge a lot of money for stylish decor. But you can stylishly decorate a gift yourself if you use templates for special boxes. Such gifts look especially bright and impressive for the New Year under the tree.
Each reader of this material will have his own version of how to make New Year’s gift boxes. The point is that you can download box templates for free, and then print them on a high-quality printer and simply assemble stylish packaging. Believe me, this design will give the holiday a magical spirit and bring in a New Year’s atmosphere, and will simply surprise people and loved ones. Because few people give New Year's gifts in boxes made with their own hands.
Advice! Such packaging can be made simply from colored paper. You only need to print the selected pattern and the folding diagram on a printer. But it's best to use cardboard. New Year's symbols and Christmas tree decor are welcome, because it's New Year's time.
How to make a Pop-Up box card
A pop-up box card is a voluminous scrap card that consists of different elements and is placed in a box, while the box always has an open appearance. They came to us, like many other things, “from over the hill” and have not yet come into widespread use; in any case, I have rarely come across them 
I like these cards because you can remember your childhood, these cute (and at that time rare) books, where everything inside comes to life when you open it. So, I decided to share with everyone how I do it.
In fact, it's simple. To make a postcard using the “Pop-Up” technique, and for it to be a box, we will need the following:
1. Low-density colored cardboard or plain scrapbooking paper.
2. Paper for scrapbooking with patterns.
3. Various clippings and stickers on the chosen topic.
4. You can use stamps based on the theme and stamp pads.
5. Cutting mat and collet knife (or stationery knife).
6. Acrylic glue, double-sided tape, glue stick, glue pads.
7. Creasing tool and various scissors, maybe curly ones.
Step 1. Prepare the base of our postcard. To do this, you need to mark (knead) the A4 base with a scoring tool. My main dimensions are as follows: base 7 x 7 cm, postcard height 14 cm. In my opinion, this is quite enough. The folding parts will be marked with a creasing tool, and the rest will be cut with a stationery knife, carefully along a ruler. The excess cardboard is not thrown away; we will need this piece in the future.
We straighten everything, make bendable elements using a creasing tool, cut the rest with a knife along a ruler so that everything is even.
Step 2. Strengthen the base. I always supplement the main cube with patterned or plain colored cardboard on the outside. For stability, it looks better and looks more elegant in itself, the main thing is not to overdo it with flowers, otherwise it will be too cluttered. We cut out 6x6 elements for the base and 6x13 for the side and glue them.
Step 3. Fasten the base. Here I used acrylic glue, but you can also use double-sided tape and even a glue stick. We are waiting for it to dry.
Straighten all parts of the base.
Step 4. Before attaching the inner bridges to the base, I further strengthen the “back” of the card. You can make patterned cardboard yourself using stamps and colored pads. And we will use it to decorate the free side parts of the box.
From the prepared sheet we cut out a rectangle measuring 6x13 cm. And glue the “back” from the inside, the seam is also hidden under it.
Step 5. Inside we make two jumpers on which the decorations of our postcard will be molded. The rest of the base cardboard is just right here, cut out elements 10 cm long and 1.5 cm thick from it. Bend 1.5 cm from both edges, 7 cm in the middle. Lower these elements to a depth and try them on; if something doesn’t fit somewhere, adjust the folds in place.
They are also needed for additional strength. It is advisable to sculpt it in an S-shape, so it will be more convenient to fold the postcard later. Here I also used acrylic glue, but you can use a glue stick. The main thing is to press well and wait for it to set.
Step 6. Now a flight of fancy. We decorate all the free parts and fill the inside. We will have the main clippings and congratulatory phrases in the central part, we compose the composition along the ladder, with the main phrases and drawings on top. We decorate the edges directed to the sides with something mediocre, without distracting attention from the central part. For the outer elements, we cut out 6x6 cm squares from patterned cardboard. You can give them volume using glue pads.
Some elements can be “powdered” if desired, in accordance with the basic tone of the postcard.
Step 7. Fill the inside. The two jumpers we made will serve as the basis for filling the inside. First, you need to figure out which applications are on top and which on the bottom, then we cut out cardboard strips 5-8 mm on which we will glue our parts. We use glue pads or double-sided tape. We cut out small pieces that are needed for a specific element and glue them together. Beautiful elements of the postcard will be molded onto the stripes on top, and the strip itself will be attached to the crossbars below. Some elements can be sculpted onto the base or sides yourself, this depends on the design of the postcard, you choose it yourself.
Important! The top part of the card should not be higher than the main cube, otherwise when filling the inside with clippings, the card may be unstable, and if you want to give it as a folded gift, it is better that all internal elements are hidden as much as possible, then the card will completely fit into the square, it you can bandage it as a gift, put it in an envelope, thus making a secret
We admire how it turned out. I made this postcard to order for a special fly doctor!
Happy creativity everyone!

To work, you need cardboard or white thick paper, a stationery knife and scissors, and glue. First, you can print a box template directly from this material, then carefully cut it out with scissors. Then transfer the diagram from paper to cardboard. The figure shows the fold lines; it is better to mark them separately. To bend the cardboard carefully, you will need to carefully run the back of a stationery knife across them.
When everything is bent, you need to glue the corners of the box together. Now put the finished elements one on one and secure everything. You will get an amazing snowflake, which in itself is already a work of art, but this is just a box for the main gift. How to make a New Year's ball from napkins.
