Gift Box with Recycled Materials ǀ Cajita de Regalo

Greetings, DIYHub friends! It's a pleasure to be with you again after a while of absence. Today I want to show you a craft made almost entirely from recycled materials. It is a transparent gift box. Let's take a look at the materials and the procedure.

We start by cutting out the center of the bottle, as we need the part that is completely smooth. We make a few cuts to refine and make it as neat as possible.

Now we are going to flatten our cylindrical piece with the help of the edge of a pair of scissors until it is flat, we are going to do this process in both directions in order to make a cube, as you can see in the image. We reserve the piece.

Now we are going to create the base and cover of the box with cardboard. To do this, we mark a square measuring 9 cm on each side with 1.5 cm flaps and cut it out. We make some cuts in the corners and then fold and glue to achieve the desired shape.

Once we have the base ready, we put liquid silicone on the inner edges and glue our transparent cube. We make pressure so that everything is well fixed. Now we are going to add a touch of shine by placing 1.5 cm strips of glittered foamy on all the edges.

Una vez tengamos la base lista le colocamos silicón líquido en los bordes internos y pegamos nuestro cubo transparente. Hacemos presión para que todo quede bien fijado. Ahora vamos a dar un toque de brillo colocando tiras de Foamy escarchado de 1,5 cm en todos los bordes.

Para la tapa hacemos el mismo procedimiento que con la base solo que esta vez le colocamos una tapa a la parte superior con Foamy escarchado para un mejor acabado.

Acto seguido, colocamos cinta decorativa que también nos servirá de mecanismo de cierre para nuestra cajita de regalos, como podemos ver en la imagen.

Y ya estamos listos para colocar el detalle que deseemos en nuestra caja. Finalmente cerramos con un lazo.

Yo coloqué unos bombones y marshmallows para obsequiarlos a mi mama a propósito del día del amor y la amistad.

Espero que les haya gustado esta idea que había visto en varias ocasiones y que quise replicar con mi propio estilo. Gracias por acompañarme. ¡Nos vemos pronto!
