Packaging of homemade soap. Master class
1. In order to make a box for packaging homemade soap, you will need a special template according to which you will need to cut out the base. The template can be downloaded from our forum after registering. Link to related topic at the end of this article.
Download the file to your computer and print it on plain paper. Before you cut the template out of cardboard, make sure the box is the right size for your bar of soap.
2. Transfer the template to cardboard and use a ruler and a utility knife to cut it out. To make the folds of the box more neat, they need to be pressed with some blunt object, for example, a non-writing ballpoint pen. Using double-sided tape, glue the box together.
The edges of the box can be tinted using a sponge ( cotton swab) and a saturated solution of coffee or tea. First try it on an unnecessary piece of cardboard, and then on a box. Or use a stencil to apply a small design to the boxes.
3. To make the box close, you can make a decorative hole like this using eyelets and small circles of cardboard of a lighter shade. If you do not have special tools to install grommets, you can read the article on our website “How to install grommets on paper yourself,” which is located in the “Techniques and Tricks” category. You don’t have to install eyelets at all, but simply close the box and tie it with string or twine.
4. Place the soap pieces into boxes. To prevent the soap from hanging around the box, you can use any paper filler, quiet paper or sisal. It is also recommended to pre-pack the soap in cling film so that it does not lose too much moisture.

Hello creative people! Well, haven’t you tried making soap with your own hands yet? If not, then I advise you to take a risk. Not long ago I showed you a master class on making . I’ll tell you a secret, one piece of this soap became a gift and, as expected, was awarded with beautiful packaging. In fact soap packaging you can come up with many, we will talk about this in the future. But for now I want to focus on the simplest and most practical DIY gift wrapping – cardboard box. Today I will show you how to make a beautiful and stylish soap box yourself. Believe me, this takes very little time.
Materials:
- thick cardboard;
- non-glossy packaging paper for the absence of designer cardboard;
- scissors;
- glue stick;
- a simple pencil and ruler.
Let me explain a little: Of course, it’s great to have in stock (who doesn’t know, it can be purchased at specialized craft stores). In this case, work is reduced to a minimum. But if there is no such cardboard, it doesn’t matter. We take a simple one and paste it over it.
True, for best result I don’t recommend using regular glossy paper, which is most often used to wrap gifts. It can go like an accordion after applying glue. There is paper with interesting prints, it feels like printer paper, but with a low density. And, as a rule, she is very stylish.

Let's cut out these parts.
Next, if you have regular cardboard, take wrapping paper, put our template on it and trace it. In addition, it is necessary to double the distance on each side so that we can completely wrap the walls of our box.
Using a ruler and a blunt thin object, we bend our cardboard blanks, then glue the boxes with triangles inward (although if you, like me, paste paper on top, this is not important). The lucky owners of designer cardboard can safely exhale, the box is ready.
Well, we will continue. Now all that remains is to cover the boxes with wrapping paper. It is best to do this starting from the center (i.e., glue the bottom first, and then the side walls).
Well, how do you like this? DIY gift wrapping? In my opinion, quite worthy. Now all that remains is to put something else in it and add a few stylish touches... But no, I’ll tell you about this in a special
